They use completely different resources, staff, and facilities...

CV patients can have extremely long hospital stays, sometimes 30 to 40 days. Some parts of the country like in Missouri and Alabama are CV HOTSPOTS. The situation has gotten so bad that VISITING temporary (very expensive) nurses must be brought in. Rooms and even hallways are taken over by CV patients. ANY surgery recovery requires a room. In the last big surge, hospitals were putting up tents and calling on National Gaurd ships for help. Potential elective surgery patients see the hospitals in the current hot spots that are in disarray and they say, "no way, I am NOT going". So they cancel their elective surgery. My point IS that all this emergency disarray caused by the vaccine refusers IS costing individual hospitals AND overall society tremendously. It even has large-scale effects on national strength and unity.
