I’ll tell this story...early in 2021, in my wife’s company (in Germany), just about everyone in the business got Covid over a 3-day period.
Among my wife’s associates, there’s a mid-20s gal (single...living alone). She’s on home quarantine and her mother is routinely coming by each day to drop off soup and beverages at the door. Knocks, no response. Mother uses her key and barely steps in...daughter laying on the floor. Mother calls for an ambulance.
They arrive, and get into the hazmat suits. They take her to the only hospital doing a quarantine ward in the city. Out in the parking lot, they do a survey and conclude...nothing more than severe dehydration. They hook up an IV...barely push her into the quarantine hallway and tell her that eight hours of their time is all she gets.
Ambulance comes back later and drags her home.
Key point, she could have died from dehydration...more so from Covid, but that’s more of her stupidity than the virus itself. Wouldn’t shock me if 5-percent of deaths fell into that category.
During peak Covid, there were about 85,000 deaths per week in the US. Before Covid, and now, there are about 65,000 deaths per week. Anecdotes from “someone who works in a hospital” are rubbish.
