<<Are we imagining it or some of the US states have their ICUs full? As if that happens all the time.>> (my emboldment) That is a most interesting question. I can only speak for the UK, and I have just looked at Scotland only, but I suspect it is the same in the USA. Many times in the past, during the winter, the "I.C.U's" and the hospitals would be overflowing with influenza patients. Typically not even mentioned in the news. This is the case always, although strangely enough, death rates from influenza has been coming down historically over the years. It suggests that the number of available hospital beds must be coming down also. It might make a one minute segement on the news, here and there, that was it. I can cite one specific example. I was looking to buy a house in 1996 and I bought one that year because property prices were depressed and there was plenty of property on the market. In 1996. I thought the property market was still going to go down a while, but that was actually the rock bottom. I only bought because I had moved and needed a place. That year, a lot of residential property came on the market because the owners were retirees and had died. The influenza was bad that year in the UK. It effected the property market, but it was hardly announced on the news. So... property prices have not been effected... what is the daily (hourly?) fuss all about that has been going on for two years now? Really. Infographic (nrscotland.gov.uk) 1958/1959 was bad. I dont think anyone wore a mask, socially distanced, or were given a day off work though. 2011/12 Lowest recorded Winter Mortality ever ! 2019/20. The big negative spike for Covid is the strangest looking thing ever. Normally a statistician would be looking at that and wondering what was going on. BUT, according to the msm news, qualified medical opinion means nothing, but the Bill Gates brigade, big pharma, know everything, and "vaccinations" are the only solution. Sorry, I smell a rat, a big fat rat, mixed in with the "data".
