Why are you laughing at hospitals getting prepared for a potential surge?

Because the surges have all been so exaggerated beyond belief. There have been tent hospitals and ship hospitals and church hospitals and dome hospitals that were set up over the past 2 years and largely gone unused.

Meanwhile there is actual floor space going unused in many hospitals at the same time. It has largely been a manpower shortage, not a bed shortage. This is now further exacerbated by the vaccine mandates.

The times of the “surges” have been some of the very slowest times for many health care providers, with few patients and little to do, because of the overreaction and shutting down of health care. The shut downs have harmed patients and harmed the resilience of the health care system.
