In Slovenia doctors warned today that the system is so stretched any mass casualty event (highway pileup etc.) would be a problem to handle.
But in reality the scariest part is the daily "we found the extra 20 intensive beds [aka staff, which is the main constraint] we needed but now we're at capacity.
But then the same story repeats the next day.
Lots of people have started taking this a proof that there is no problem.
But the doctors have said publicly what is happening: they keep lowering standards.
I suspect that an acute collapse is unlikely due to this. But my heart bleeds for those who are hospitalised under such conditions.
But what worries me most is that society will learn nothing from this. An acute collapse would be a lesson that would prevent such suffering. But as its going now its just proving to society in general that unrestricted individualism works.
