Hospitals are not overwhelmed by people who are just panicking. People who are just panicking or have mild/moderate symptoms are turned away and sent home. Hospitals are overwhelmed by people who have pneumonia and require hospitalization. That's the situation in New York.
Doctors' offices and hospitals are always flooded with people who don't belong there. Especially in these times when this incomparable panic is fueled. There is always a flu over-treatment of factor 10 or more. In Spain, people are already fleeing the hospitals because they realize that they'll survive outside. Now they are being caught by the police and brought back to those highly dangerous buildings. .
I never visit a doctor with a flu. Most people do, but they shouldn't. I had cancer 12 years ago. I didn't panic. I treated myself with celandine, conium maculatum (Socrates cocktail), other poisonous plants, a fasting cure of 30 days etc.
I just went to check the tumor markers, which were reduced by 99 percent and surprised the doctors because natural therapies are systematically suppressed by the health and pharmaceutical mafia, one of the most criminal industries collectivism has created. Then I stopped the therapy after a few weeks. Then the tumor started to grow again and squeeze a main vein. I then needed 4 chemotherapy cycles. They told me to stay in the hospital for at least a few days after the infusions. I said no, I'm going home and going to work. It's too dangerous for me here and I don't have to occupy beds if they're always tight anyway.
With all these trillions, they don't even manage to do what the tiny little Iceland is doing: to create a database on which to take adequate measures. Is that deliberate or just indescribably stupid?
Now they are closing the economy, cutting the supply chains, sending young staff into quarantine and wondering about the chaos that is taking over the country.
Trump has always disgusted me, but he seems to be one of the few to smell what's coming with this horror strategy.
What's obvious to Ionannidis should also be obvious to other 'experts'. But it is not. They have zero understanding of complex systems. He says the same that I've been saying from the beginning.
"Conversely, with lockdowns of months, if not years, life largely stops, short-term and long-term consequences are entirely unknown, and billions, not just millions, of lives may be eventually at stake."
When the internet closes in an unfolding domino effect, the last one should also notice that the game is over.
I hope the supporters of this mass suicide are then prepared with the necessary means to put themselves to sleep. I am. Never underestimate the stupidity of the crowd. And even if we survive this insane increase of government debt. It's not a solution. At best, it increases the drop height one more time.
@AdrianX
It has to be said clearly. All those who support the lockdown support an increase in the already intolerable world government debt level by a further 30 or more percent to combat a new flu variant. The supporters here refuse to discuss this fact. They just cry: danger! danger! danger!
Most of the time, people warn of unsustainable government debt. Now the same people are supporting an unprecedented increase in these already intolerable debts, and the same people will complain again next year about the new, even more intolerable level of debt.
Capitalism could survive long if flu- and bankruptcy-waves were allowed. But since every problem is covered up with government guarantees and new government debts, it only works until the critical point of the debt level is exceeded.
They're all socialists
