My father was taken to a hospital for a broken hip in December. There were no beds available. He had a procedure and was sent home. I have no news article to provide, only this anecdotal account. This is something that I can't imagine happening prior to 2020 unless a natural disaster (hurricane, flood, tornado) had occurred.


It happens all the time in flu season. You even get articles that read very much like the ones people link to with Covid. Funny nobody gave a shit about all those…


It's almost as if people respond differently to a newly unknown threat with unknown capabilities.
