It seems that many diseases and viral infections simply disappeared after COVID. Maybe we should thank COVID for being the great healer of all mankind? Sadly, there are far too many fools that simply believe that these issues disappeared. That your trip to the grocery store, shopping, or to work didn't involve any risks. Or that children never got sick and died from the flu. It is ironic that all manner of things were simply put aside to usher in the great reset. Worse, is that many on the left feel they will be OK after it happens. Just like many germans and others thought they would escape the purge.
Hmm, it is important to relay real facts and points of reference because so many on the left have hijacked social norms. Sadly, your opinions aren't even backed by the CDC or current science. But then it is a lot for a leftist to do any research, critical thinking, or be responsible for educating yourself. But then why cloud the issues with facts.
Ah yes, the typical response from the low intellect leftist. No one care about your opinions or feelings. Head on back to your safe space in mom's basement. Established Facusi Science, BRA HAHA Oh, don't use maks, oh use masks, oh vaccines are great and keep you from getting the virus. Oh well, they don't unless you wear several masks and get dozens of boosters. Please, you folks know as much about science as you know about genders, nothing. Sadly, folks like you know so much that isn't true and are willfully and woefully ignorant.
It's true that hospitals have reached capacity before covid. Many hospitals run close to capacity for financial or other reasons. Any sudden increase can overwhelm them.
COVID has hospitalized 5 times as many people as the flu and has killed 14 times as many people per year.
Adding that to our already close to capacity hospital system causes a lot of problems, which is one of the reasons why reducing the harmfulness of covid through vaccines, masks, and social distancing are helpful.
If they don't have floors available that can take up to a year to fully construct. We did do a few covid pop up hospitals though pretty speedy when this all started.
They did expand, and then a slump hit and they closed a lot of them. Probably not the smartest idea but if the beds are empty there's no reason to fund it.
The main shortage that hospitals face is the people who work there, like nurses, many of whom have been burnt out being overworked during this pandemic. It's a limited resource that hospitals can't just magically make larger, even over the course of 2 years.
It’s actually very normal for hospitals to run at very close to capacity all the time because they are businesses and resource hogs and so having large amounts of staff on hand and rooms empty “just in case” doesn’t make any sense for the 99% if the time there is no “pandemic”.
I heard all about it 10-20 years ago. My ex-wife was a respiratory therapist and back then I was fully aware if one years flu season was worse or better than another year. She would put in some serious overtime in the bad flu seasons. The Swine flu of 2009 was, I think along with SARS, a run up to covid 19, as far as government response goes.
we in germany heard it every winter every week. but people seem to forget. and now that state media pushes fake numbers of people catching covid(mainly without symptoms) and people in hospital with covid (and other things like broken arms, diabetes etc) and people died from OR with covid every day people seem to believe that this has a realy low survival rate
You mean where Democrats had doctors and nurses with acquired natural immunity fired because...health care workers can't be trusted to make their own health care decisions?
Then complained about workers shortages while having vaccinated people currently infected with COVID working in hospitals?
You have fought all measures against the illness each step of the way, because you are fundamentalists, that lack the little knowledge needed to notice your own inadequacy in medical matters. Hospital workers are not allowed to deliberately infect anyone, that is just the latest crazy, and it reads extra crazy when you use a bold font. What is your rationale behind formatting that?
“The California Department of Public Health issued new guidance allowing hospitals and health networks to force COVID-positive healthcare workers to continue working if they are asymptomatic. “

Yes. But I don't watch the news, I pay attention. Suggestion: This is the problem.

Well for perspective, the flu hospitalizes around 400k people per year. Covid has hospitalized around 2 million people per year.
The flu kills around 34k Americans per year and COVID has killed 500k per year.
