I'm very glad for you. 817,317 of your fellow Americans and 5,310,982 fellow earthlings were not so lucky. And that does nt take into count the number of people who developed issues that will last the rest of their life.
Every person I have ever known who has gone to the ER ends up in a stretcher in the hallway, waiting for room.
No wonder people are freaked. They are too ignorant to have any idea how hospitals work.
And too lazy to do anything other than listen to and embrace the MSM squawking the latest fear porn.
If your comment was serious, I've accompanied a person to the ER before on more than one occasion. Never was a person put on a stretcher, rolled to a hallway and made to wait for attention there. However, I don't think I've ever been to an ER when their ICU was full.

Was 100% serious.
They wait in the hallway. Nurses/doctors come by, take blood, order tests, wheel them away for scans, wheel them back. Usually because the hospitals aren't sure whether the patient is getting admitting so they are waiting for test results. Then they are either discharged or assigned to a room. I think it has more to do with insurance. Different ER charges if they are admitted or not. SUPER fun for the patients though. Has nothing to do with ICU.

Hospitals go on bypass all the time - they did before Covid and they will after.
People wait for hours for hospital beds to open - lots of times in hallways. All pre-pandemic. It happens.

This true. When I was going through my sepsis ordeal in 2015/2016, I had to wait on a gurney in the ER hallway a time or two. Not sure anyone suggested this has not happened pre-Covid.
