Reply to comment by thejml2000 in Regular physical activity may boost effectiveness of COVID-19 jab. Risk of hospital admission among fully vaccinated healthcare workers was reduced by 60% in the group who engaged in low levels of physical activity, and by 72% and 86% in the medium and high physical activity groups, respectively by Wagamaga

Hospitals get overwhelmed during flu season. It happens all the time even when there’s no pandemic. Also, are you claiming that a significant amount of deaths from covid were caused by inaccessible hospitals?! Because that’s patently false.

This is just one of many reports/stories about it.

It’s really not something that’s up for debate, it happened quite a bit.

Also, brining up hospitals getting overwhelmed during flu season is not helping your point. Anytime someone who needs care can’t get it you don’t get good results… if not getting care didn’t have an impact, then the people didn’t really need the care in the first place.

The article is talking about ppl dying from socioeconomic issues and “accessibility” to healthcare. Not that the hospitals were too full.

I have a heart condition. I go to the hospital a lot. At no point during the pandemic was it too crowded (Cleveland, OH). Anecdotal, true, but heres something that’s not.

If hospital fullness were a concern, then lockdowns would be LOCAL based on current beds available. Not case count and not state or county wide.
