It's true, it's true!
This discussion started with a comparison between the flu & COVID-19.
Is COVID-19 worse than the flu?
Someone pointed out that hospitals were overwhelmed with patients, which doesn’t occur in a normal flu season.
Someone else countered that, no, in fact hospitals are not overwhelmed, they are laying people off.
Hospitals are laying off staff in areas not related to the treatment of COVID-19 patients. But does that indicate they’re not at all busy treating COVID-19 patients, or is it that they’re focused mainly on treating COVID-19 patients?
You might also ask, if hospitals are no more busy than in a normal flu season, why do healthcare workers have a shortage of PPE? Have you ever heard of a PPE shortage in a normal flu season?
