But, and I could be barking up the wrong tree here, we don't have an infinite resource to deal with hospitalisations. If the vaccine "flattens the curve" and less people are dependant on ICU, then the overall outcome will be better.
I don't think that cartoon above can say it any plainer.
Lockdown helped keep people out of ICU - because they were stuck at home day drinking, and not traversing Auckland going to sex parties (well, mostly) and driving drunk. Do we have any maths on how ICU admissions from serious vehicle crashes plummeted?
Or, perhaps the planet does have a magic tree that they can stroke and magic up instant care facilities with highly trained support staff and experienced doctors - perhaps they were just on ice working as tarot card readers and Reiki masters during non-pandemic times?
