If the government is so worried about covid cases overwhelming the healthcare system,

Because the 1.9 trillion is for them, not us

So there's a little secret for policymakers and the hospital system. It's embedded in law that ICUs have to be able to operate at 125-135% of capacity. In other words they have never been at risk of being overrun. It's just another misleading narrative.

Thus the nightmare of health care for all. Who will tend to all these new patients???????

Harder for them to just pocket the $$$ if they are expected to physically build something that we peons could actually see.

You ever notice how they have 50 registers, but only three of them are open? That’s the situation you want to set up

or even worse because it is more subtle

Actions speak louder than words and the need to "flatten the curve" was the first in a LONG line of bullshite that has been sold to the public since one of the most ridiculous episodes in our history began. The "pandemic" started because powerful people WANTED it to start. And it is still going because those powerful voices DON'T WANT IT TO END right now.

Unfortunately, life is something we all care about and COMPLETELY OVEREXAGGERATING a threat to it is a great way to sell fear. Still today, we have people who are at best ill-informed and at worst, incredibly naïve or stupid who are terrified that the healthcare system will be overrun. Something that hasn't be a legitimate threat in 11 fricking months!!

It didn't overrun BEFORE the powers that be decided to go full bore ridiculous (covid didn't just "arrive" here in March. It was here before. We just weren't looking under every rock for it). Once we did lose our minds state "leaders" at the cost of MILLIONS of dollars built several emergency temporary hospitals to handle the overflow...that NEVER materialized. Not even close. Those temp facilities went almost completely unused. So much so that (at least in Louisiana) the government is fricking selling the overflow tents to any bozo who wants to buy them despite being in the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 50th, "catastrophic wave". Seems like a curious thing to do if you are worried about overwhelming the healthcare system

Eventually, the politics and media will overplay their hand (as they always do) and enough people except those who are hopeless naïve and/or completely devoid of the ability to think critically or engage in justifiable scrutiny will realize just how utterly fricking stupid then entire thing has been.

If you pay the nurses $100 an hour they will show up

We already spend double the amount that other societies spend on healthcare but we have ten times the infections and deaths. I hoping for a virus that only attacks morons.
