Good thinking
Except that never happened. The vast majority of hospitals are not overwhelmed with cases, because the vast majority of people who catch covid don't need to be hospitalized for it. Because it's not that dangerous. That's why the news cycle now keeps talking about "RECORD CASES", notice they conspicuously aren't saying "RECORD DEATHS".

I mean I agree that if hospitals were being overwhelmed by covid that would be a very serious problem. But thank god, that really isn't happening.

Plus, covid is never going away. There will always be new mutations, we will have to adapt to living with it like we do for the flu and common colds. When is the right time to drop masking rules? When there is zero covid? It's just not gonna happen, this is no way to live it's paranoid fear mongering now.

Have you seen your local ICU?

That's a yes or no question

Oh I guess I said zero were. Another "not all" fallacy. By and large, no, hospitals are not overwhelmed. It's not a major issue in most places. Florida has the largest elderly population in the country so it makes sense. But it's not a nightmare scenario where nobody else can get treatment and are dying on the streets or something, which is what the hysterical covid cult people paint it as.

Also lol factcheck.org. Hey guys it can't possibly be biased, because it's called "factcheck.org". I'm gonna start a site called "THEPURETRUTH.ORG" and you'll know it's all true because the word true is right there in the name!

Also completely ignores the reason they're so easily overwhelmed is that our for-profit health care system maintains inadequate reserve capacity in the first place. It gets ignored by both sides because it plays against the nonvaxxers-are-evil propaganda from the left, while the right knows it's basically their policies' fault the U.S. has such a poorly-run healthcare system so they're not interested in recognizing it either.

Yeah... there are people dying in the streets though. There are people dying in hospital hallways because the ICU is full. There are people dying in their homes, too.

Does it make a difference if they die at home or on the street??

Fact is, they died, and they didnt have to. They died from something preventable.

Instead of addressing his point, you just attack the name of the source. Not the context or anything past the link. Just the name of it was enough for him to turn away.

Republicans HATE facts. We established this already. Kelly-anne? Alternative-facts are their bread and butter. Truth is not truth, according to Rudy the ooze. You guys believed that shit, obviously.

Do you mean like when FOX news says "fair and balanced" ??

Prove me wrong, pussy.

You never contribute anything because you know you'll get dunked on, like the fucking pussy you are. You're a weak coward. Your rape daddy lost.

Hope your god will save you when you get sick.

I just hope you dont end up killing your parents by transmission at thanks giving. That would be utterly tragic to have to live with that guilt. You, being responsible for the death of a family member because dave rubin or tucker told you something dumb.

Good luck, pussy.
