Over and over they fill up all the beds occupy them for a while...and then all too often, die.

Meanwhile, people who followed directions and science rather than Trump are ending up not getting the care they need and sometimes the results are fatal.

This aspect of this pandemic is really bothering me. Doctors & hospitals have their own ethical choices to make, but there is a larger effect to their choice that ends up perhaps not being unethical but it is immoral.
