The entire premise of locking down the country was to prevent the overwhelming of our hospitals. We have always lived with disease and have never shut down to this extent. Have SOME regional hospitals gotten close to that point? I’m sure. But for the most part it hasn’t come close. Even in NYC, they sent the floating hospital away after a few weeks because they never needed it! The entire convention center in New Orleans was converted to a makeshift hospital and was never used. Meanwhile, people with political agendas have driven these draconian measures that have effectively neutered our economy and put millions of Americans in a BAD financial crisis.
No one is pointing this out! If the point was hospital capacity concern, build more fricking hospitals with that multi trillion dollar pork spending bill!!!!
We are literally pretending like we can avoid getting sick ...for a disease with a 99% survival rate......at what cost???

Right on. We hear ZERO about that expanded capability now.
Kind of seems like they were trying to present Trump with an impossible task and he got it done fast, so now they have to ignore it.

If Clinton had won, we would have all forgotten about CV19 by now.

If Clinton had won, China would have never had to release it as a last ditch effort to take out Trump.

Hospitals are saying they are short staffed now.
It’s one thing after another.

Some are short staffed I'm sure...
because they laid off a shitload of people when they were cancelling all elective procedures, not because they are overwhelmed with crono patients.

That was nothing but a huge waste of millions of dollars.
From WWL
quote:
“There were probably 150 bodies in that convention center at any one time that were staffed to watch 12 people,” said Jackson, an emergency medicine physician from Texas.
quote:
Health care providers who worked at the convention center were guaranteed to be paid for seven shifts a week, working 14-hour days. Registered nurses earned $243 an hour, nurse practitioners $328 an hour and physicians $350 an hour, according to the staffing contracts. Even EMTs and paramedics, with little or nothing to do, were paid from $105 to $135 an hour.
“We were like, do you want to let one of us go?” Jackson recalled. “Do we need to be here? And they said, ‘it’s a government contract, you need to be here.’”
