Even if it is less dangerous than Delta, the higher number of cases will still flood the hospitals.

    That's the worse-case scenario right there, the rate of death will increase proportionally to the rate that hospitals will be forced to engage in triage. We saw this in Italy when their hospitals were so overwhelmed that they were forced to leave the elderly to die in the hallways to prioritize saving younger patients.

    At least it's a cold winter so hospitals can just rent u-hauls instead of specialized refrigerator-freezer trailers for when the morgues start overflowing

      You fucking around: putting bodies in uhauls at 20F

      You finding out: climate change causes it to be 60F 3 days in a row in Wisconsin in January

      USA version:

      Hospitals so overwhelmed that they choose to leave the poor to die in the hallways to prioritize saving wealthier patients.
