I personally took care of more than a few relatively healthy 30 and 40 year olds and a few pregnant women who spent 1-2+ weeks of high flow nasal canula who could have died if we ran out of beds/respiratory support.

Thankfully, as I always tell patients, I have not had to call ICU about a crashing COVID patient since February 2022, after the first Omicron wave.  It used to be an almost daily occurrence prior to that through Delta waves.  Things have gotten a lot better.

Sweden proves that lockdowns were unecessary

With all due respect, there was a real virus Darth. Whether that was manufactured in a Wuhan lab by a subcontractor of the CIA, I have no idea, but the virus is/was real. The response was bullshit. Masks, lockdowns and vaccines had no effect to stop it. But the virus was 100% real, and many, mainly overweight old and unfit, people died.
