> It's really not and our overburdened hospitals speaks more to for profit healthcare system. Hospitals have closed. Staff have been cut. They admitted ICU beds are not profitable, that is why we don't have more. I don't have time to respond to anything else right now, but this take is kind of silly. Yes, America's healthcare coverage has serious problems, but ICU capacity (equipment and trained staff) never ever scales well. It requires too much time, commitment and people to get capacity of that level ready to be able to scale well. Especially when it comes to pandemics. No matter what you do, you will never have enough ICU capacity to cover what you're really going to need for a pandemic like this one. Vaccinations scale infinitely better. And being vaccinated relatively/statistically keeps you out of the ICU (and hospitals). This is a measured fact around the world. So yes, being unvaccinated is a huge part of the problem of hospitals/ICU's being overwhelmed right now. There's no question about that.
