I hear the “hospital capacity” garbage. Here in the DFW they had a convention center set up for the over capacity of hospitals. It was never used.

Tuscaloosa spent large portions of the Summer edging close to capacity for their COVID wing. I figured this was obvious by the nature of my post but the problem was less large metros like DFW but midsize cities that have to support both their metro area and rural satellites that have zero capacity. The problem was capacity broadly spread across the country. Healthcare service having geographic disjointness in this country was a problem before the pandemic but was exacerbated by the pandemic. Similarly, all the high risk factors were COVID were basically the laundry list of existing American health problems.
People want to act like this was all some faked spook. It was not...the virus hit us in the achilles heel of several preexisting individual health problems and health system infrastructure conundrums.

My friend (nurse practitioner) worked on that vessel for +/- 2 mos, prepared and ready for the Covid patients. At the peak they housed less than 75 total patients on the ship. She made some serious bank though, enough to pay off graduate school loans.
