Because hospital capacity is limited and despite what you might want, people will still be admitted to the hospital when they caught covid.
In Germany some hospitals are postponing "planned operations" and as much as this sound like no big deal, every operations that is not an emergency is "planned" so this affects cancer removals as well. People are dying of cancer because covid patients saturate ICU beds.
- JSavageOne 5y ago> In Germany some hospitals are postponing "planned operations" Are these hospitals doing this because they've currently run out of ICU beds to staff COVID patients, or in anticipation of a future influx of COVID-19 patients? Also over 90% of people who die with COVID-19 have co-morbidities. For example, Colin Powel recently died with COVID-19 in his system, but he also had myeloma (blood cancer) and was 84 years old. In any case it's been 2 years now since COVID-19 started. At this point if hospital systems still can't manage this, then that's a failure of the governments and the healthcare systems.
