The initial concern stated by the hospitals was their inability to care for an influx of covid related issues as well as BAU hence the lockdowns - they can only care for so many people at an given time. You probably know this, its simple math. The morgues in NYC are an obvious example. Their facilities were incapable of dealing with the amount of bodies so they were forced to use freezer trucks in the street to store them.
My question relates to mitigating the threat of the virus vs expectation of health care services.
Let me put this scenario to you - should the fully vaxed person (who cannot afford healthcare) who was just involved in a car accident have a higher or lower priority in an overcapacity emergency room than those who have chosen not to mitigate the threat of the virus?
The vax is just risk tolerance right? You risk residual effects of the vax twice or covid with potentially every person you meet for the rest of your life. Kinda like running across a freeway x2 or x100k times.
Im not attempting to have an argument with you. I'm genuinely wondering if you think the hospitals have the capacity to deal with their day to day (BAU) work in a country where the virus is prevalent?
