The hospitals are not overwhelmed because of the number of patients. They are overwhelmed because of the rules that keep nurses out of the hospital for a week or more if they THINK they have been exposed to Covid.
That’s the one statistic we never see. Every hospital tracks census counts obsessively. Show us a multi-year chart with daily census counts for each local hospital. I guarantee you won’t find higher counts this year. But you will find reduced staff because of the mismanagement of this disease by administrators and the medical establishment. If the charts did show an increased census, we would see them posted everywhere.
