Canadian news uses the same arguement about ICU reaching max capacity, of all the lies I dont understand why anyone believes this They've had a year to prepare and increase capacity, if there is a shortage it speaks to imcompentence of the healthcare industry

Exactly, if this is the reason to lock down, states would mobilise to provide emergency capacity. In Germany that was only ever done (halfheartedly) in the 1st wave, then it was reversed, but they kept using the argument.

The only covid hospital actually set up in Italy was the one in Milano-Fiera, treated only 500 patients in a year+ Costed only 21million euros, they could have set one up in each medium sized town for a tiny fraction of the cost of lockdowns

In DE they complain about staff shortages in hospitals then call in the army ... to do completely worthless contact tracing.

I've heard the argument covid is much more staff intensive than other diseases several times but all they seem to be doing is hooking ppl up to oxygen machines 24/7 and give them a basic cocktail of meds not sure how that's care intensive
