I get my info from the nurses I know. They themselves, the people they trained with, former colleagues who have moved on - all together they make up a nation-wide network. There's never been a time in the last year that some part of that network hasn't been slammed.
Your definition of 'normal' is incorrect. Hospital ICUs and body storage facilities are funded to handle 'normal'. ICUs that have to ship people to other facilties because they're full are not normal. Hospital morgues that have to rent multiple refrigerated trailers to handle the extra bodies are not normal. People who need cancer surgery/treatment but can't get it because their care facility is full of covid victims are not experiencing normal healthcare.
These conditions have been widely reported and I know it's true not because it's in the press but because people I know and trust who work in healthcare are telling me that it has happened to them at their workplace, and to their colleagues at other facilities.
What are you basing your opinions on? Your common sense, that thing that tells you the sun goes around the earth? The one person in a thousand or ten thousand who has some kind of medical training (invariably unrelated to public health or infectious diseases) who tried to monetize their social media channel? Performers like Alex Jones or Tucker Carlson?
