The problem is that the public has been hearing this for almost 9 months now and with the exception of a hospital or two it hasn't happened. You can only cry wolf so many times.
> I mean we are almost at a complete ICU collapse right now already.
Besides a few one off stories could you please provide HN readers with some links?
> And a lot of people will die, not just of covid but of other treatable diseases.
They already are and do you know why? Because hospitals stopped doing "unessential" procedures for months and continue to do so.
> Not to mention we will run out of PPE and medical supplies.
Could you please share an article or three with HN readers where a single hospital has run out of PPE in the USA?
> More doctors and nurses and respiratory therapists will get sick and die.
If Covid is so powerful then why haven't tens of thousands of nurses and doctors died? They are exposed to do multiple times per day.
Look forward to your reply!
