Yes, hospitals are full, but you have differentiate between a hospital being 'full' vs. being 'overrun' with covid-19 patients. My wife's hospital has been running at 110% capacity ever since the lockdown ceased. Not because of covid-19 patients, but because of the huge backlog of sick or injured patients that couldn't get any care during the lockdown. Before the lockdown they ran at 100% all the time.
There is fuckery in the narrative as well. Our city hospitals have 'X' number of assigned hospital beds designated STRICTLY for COVID patients. That 'set aside'
makes up less than 10% of the ACTUAL CAPACITY for the entire hospital. When all of the COVID beds alloted for COVID are full, or better, have one or two over ... they scream to the local media "WE ARE OVER 100% CAPACITY !!! RUUUUUUUUNNNNN !!!!!"
