Exactly.

The whole "hospitals overrun" thing was straight up propaganda.

The national media kept saying over and over how BAD covid was in florida. My GF is a nurse at a huge hospital here and their covid unit was never even close to capacity.

Hospitals are businesses. If they aren't nearly full during normal times its a problem.

People are just dumb.
It could also be the flattening was successful. 500k is a big number though, I can't argue with big number.

Fwiw they were talking about ICU capacity, not total. The regular hospital was emptied to support this effort.
