LOL, we havn't even seen the full impact of delta yet.
The US Healthcare system is melting down as we speak. American economists and politicians keep talking about recovery but the doctors, nurses and Healthcare workers are saying this isn't the peak, the worst is yet to come. Not in terms of covid, but in terms of the collapse of the system. Nurses are burnt out, doctors are burnt out, the medical schools are struggling to find instructors because hospitals are at their limit with patients. PhD students in the bioengineering field are being pressed into service at hospitals as doctor analogs. If this was a war, the equivalent would be like pilots and sailors and tank crewmen being pressed into infantry roles.
Not quite at the point of "call up the volksstrum" but definitely, "send in the sailors and call them naval infantry" time.
