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.

Obviously, you are not speaking of The Villages hospital. Plenty of rooms, but there is always a wait in the ER for a room. It's famous for long ER waits. Of course, like everything, there are always exceptions to the norm.
Most folks with the virus are sent home. Only the ones with breathing problems are kept. I see no reason for spreading panic. After all, the vaccine will start being distributed next month or the following month. Still, most folks get over it anyway.
