Your reasoning seems a bit odd. The hospitals are laying off because they overstaffed out of fear of not being able to handle the demands of the pandemic. Now that the pandemic is gone they cannot economically support the headcount. If we had not locked down many many more people would have died, and the health care system would have actually broken down. You’re saying that we should have not locked down and just staffed the crematoriums instead?
