You think so? I don't. The majority of us who are chronically and/or terminally ill have stayed home. It's very unlikely the author would've found people who DIDN'T go to the hospital. Many of us have progressive conditions, which also worsen with aging. We want to stay alive and aren't going to go anywhere near a hospital filled with covid patients.
Down vote me, but covid is very real, regardless of where/who it came from. No other flu leaves people with chronic and serious conditions, especially with the unusual ones of long covid. My sister, who was extremely active and fit, got covid in Feb, 2020, in Seattle, before it hit the nursing home here in March. She coughed and was very sick for 3 weeks. I kept telling her she had it.
When she and her boyfriend (who had it, too) were tested, it showed no antibodies, so I'm not a believer that antibodies are a deterrent or long lasting. People have gotten covid more than once, without being vaccinated. She has long covid and had to quit a job she loved.
I'm not one of those downvote happy people and believe in civil discourse.
I think there were a lot of people that stayed home, which is why hospitals were so empty last year. However, numbers dropped significantly, so many people started going back, and we didn't have this problem. Once numbers picked up again, I suppose we had some of that, but the hospitals were much more available this time. I can't imagine how now, all of a sudden the hospitals are getting overwhelmed with non-covid patients as many of them are coming back. If they are scared as you say, then why now everyone together with the numbers (while decreasing) still elevated?
Due to weakened immune systems, many think that things like this will be an expected part of the vaccines. Time will tell. I just think if it was as simple as people waiting, and the press doing everything they can to steer away from anything negative on the vaccines, they would have been vocal that it isn't related and this is just a backlog.
Wouldn't that be covered under lockdowns?
I believe if that was all there was to it, the article certainly would have pointed that out.
