I'm not quite sure why you don't understand his point. He's arguing that the shortage of beds is due to a spike in RSV hospitalizations, not covid hospitalizations. You can dispute that claim but it's not clear why you are unsure what his argument is.
- hiyer 5y agoIIUC what s/he's saying is that there's not a shortage of beds per se but staffed beds. And the staffing shortage is because a lot of staff has been diverted to covid cases.
- mannykannot 5y agoThat is true, but it seems beside the point as a response to my original reply to you, while its initial "But..." suggests that it is intended to invalidate it somehow. Even if Fullmoon were correct in claiming that Covid is not behind the problem of the ICU bed shortages, it would not alter the fact that this is a problem caused by actual disease, not the fear of it.
