Not sure why you’re being downvoted, as this is one of the major reasons we had lockdowns around the world even before Delta — our healthcare systems are not designed for the capacities that are pushed through when something like a pandemic occurs. This problem will only get worse in the coming decades, as shifting demographics means we will not have as many young people available to take on jobs as essential health workers for the ever-growing percentage of elderly and at-risk. We are really lucky to have this pandemic happen now, rather than 30 years from now, as it gives us all an opportunity to prepare for the shifting demand / resource patterns in healthcare. New ways of administering healthcare will be needed.
