Something I find interesting that never got discussed about the hospitals being overwhelmed part of the guilt, intimidation, and manipulation campaign around both the initial lockdowns and the vaccine is that in a true free market system where hospitals are free to decide who to serve and who not to serve this would not be an issue at all.

Their entire argument, especially the "two weeks to flatten the curve" game, rested on the fact that government regulation forces emergency rooms to take people in no matter what. It seems like the libertarians should have taken this opportunity to show how bad regulation can be in most cases, because without it hospitals would never be overwhelmed, they would just take in as many people as they could profitably care for, but instead prominent libertarians instead threw their principles away and endorsed lockdowns and later forced vaccination.
