Except they are not, vast majority of people infected with covid do not require hospitalization.
If the hospital can't handle this virus then the health care system must be really bad in the first place. The solution is to fix and improve it, not lockdown.
Lockdown measures is just cop out.
- Silhouette 6y agoIf the hospital can't handle this virus then the health care system must be really bad in the first place. Any health system has finite resources available: facilities, equipment, trained staff, the money to pay for all of it, etc. If the NHS had already been set up to handle this once-in-a-century black swan event better, it would have been less effective at handling other conditions that have affected patients in the more than a century since the last outbreak of similar severity. I haven't been impressed by how our national government has handled this situation, but if you stop and think about what's happened in the past year or so, it's actually pretty amazing how quickly and effectively our NHS staff, scientific community and others playing supporting roles in our society have adapted. They are fixing and improving our healthcare system, and they're doing it right before our eyes in real time.
