"no surgery unless absolutely necessary" is becoming the default around here, because the number of hospital-acquired infections is skyrocketing in the last years. While there were absolutely no anecdotes before 2017, the number of people infected in the hospital in my circles has exploded since then. People are talking about it, and realising that going to the hospital has a real risk of making things even worse.
