Yeah, I guess COVID is making a lot of these kinds of things more widely known that had mostly only been known by direct or near-direct experience. The weird thing to me is that that doesn't seem to be producing any general sense of scandal (Ontario can only handle maybe 500 ICU patients more than normal without the system "collapsing"?! ... and we haven't really done anything about that since COVID started?!?!) or urgency to do things differently. Which is sort of the inverse of the COVID-truther take that goes "hardly anyone gets critically ill from COVID so what are we freaking out about?"--it turns out the hospitals can handle hardly anyone getting critically ill from anything before they "collapse", so why aren't we freaking out about that?
