It is easy to say that a pneumonia is an old man's death and that no one lives forever... But it is different if you are telling someone in their mid 50s that there are no more ventilators available so they will likely die gasping for oxygen being unable to suck enough back through their COVID ravaged lungs.
Our healthcare system only really works until we are overrun and this is as close as we have ever come to getting to that point.

Oh no disagreement and had we gone down the path the Covid deniers wished 'it's just flu' etc then no one with Covid gets within a mile of a hospital, they are all sent home to die with no oxygen and what little help their family can give, that's the part the deniers dont get, Covid wasnt going to kill us with Covid, it would kill us with Cancer or road accidents as the hospitals would be full of grannys on ventilators, doctors and nurses would survive covid but be off sick constantly so the whole health care system grinds to a halt, all of that would have been fine in 1969 but it isnt anymore, everything the Government did around Covid was because of who we are as a population now, the dumb schmoes that deny covid and think the vaccine is a hoax are the same idiots that would lose their #### if they were asked to watch Granny die with no medical help what so ever as the only alternative to what we did
