The reason Hong Kong is talking about the hospital system not being able to cope is because EVERY SINGLE person with coronavirus goes into an isolation ward, even if they have no symptoms but tested positive. The hospital system has not collapsed anywhere. All the extra hospitals built in the UK were pretty much unused and it has so far been one of the worst affected countries. Doctors in the UK are now saying if there is a second peak it is absurd to restrict other non covid patients as more people will die. No one could start cancer treatment during this madness.
In Australia about 250 people have died, they have pretty much shut the country, 1,300 die of flu. WTF is going on. Has the hospital system in the US collapsed? Millions infected. Yes lots have died also but to be honest it is inevitable, the world is just prolonging this and destroying the economy by doing so.
As someone who is not in a risk group although understand it could still kill me, I would happily go about life expecting to get it at some point and take the 0.06% chance so as to not f**k up the world for everyone else. Advise those at risk to isolate and give them all the government support possible, food deliveries, doctor home visits etc, if your not at risk but too scared be an adult and resign so as to not be a burden on society, someone else will take your job. Of course this will never happen as it is all driven by the fear the media creates and politicians wanting to score points. Absolute fing madness.
Who can isolate for 5 years? You can't, so those at risk are going to be at far greater risk. A year is possible, let it rip through society and give those at risk a chance of sticking it out. 85 million died in WWII, willingly going so that their country, children, family could have a better future. This is nothing compared to that, miniscule, yet the world is on it's knees. It's pathetic.
