Yeah, I agree it is terrible. There has been time in spring when most hospitals were overran everywhere.
In that vein, it's also terrible how politicians wouldn't even allow the families of Covid victims to even mourn, and threw their family members' bodies into a hole, and then they gathered together in various restaurants and meetings, even going to Hawaii for conferences, per example, after they locked the commoners at home in their states... One set of rules for the serfs, and another for noblesse!
My friend is not in USA but in Serbia, although I imagine the situation is similar everywhere. God knows how many people didn't get the heart surgery on time because everything was closed off and postponed even after the hospital capacities were back to normal. Orwellian measures were applied over there (Serbia) and were enforced with up to 3 year penalty of prison. It didn't seem to flatten the curve. Also there are states in Europe that did not apply these measures except voluntary ones, and they didn't do much differently. So I am very skeptical about so called "measures". It's really hard if you think logically to accept health authorities claiming that Covid measures helped with flu so flu cases numbers are extremely low this year, yet these same measures work on flu but don't work on Covid? They are both viruses and transmit in the same way. Who's crazy here?
