We had to go to the hospital but not for a reason related to Covid. After my husband was "admitted" to be an in-patient we spent five hours in the ER waiting for a room to open up. When I talked to the ER nurse about the long and uncomfortable wait, she explained that the hospitals are overwhelmed and short-staffed. Many nurses have quit. The long hours and extra demand put on them is "just not worth it."

If some people's selfish behavior causes them to get COVID and thus put extra demand on the medical workers, then shame-on them and their bad behavior.
