Netherlands are in lockdown as well; at the tail end of letting delta run wild and with our health care at it's limits due to that we started it as Omicron was just getting started. Shortage of staff, beds and care has been pretty consistently high and getting worse here as well as in Canada apparently. We basically introduced capitalism into our health care system back in the day with insurers etc. subsequently optimizing away all of the (under normal circumstances) superfluous capacity. Strangely we still don't seem to have made any real improvements to our capacity since Corona started and have mostly just experienced loss of staff instead similar to what this article describes.
