Blaming Covid specifically for hospital overflow is a fallacy. It's just the straw that broke the camel's back.

Obesity/poor diet require an incredible amount of healthcare resources. Government subsidies of corn play no small factor. Ending subsidies for unhealthy foods is completely within our control unlike infections from new diseases. If we wanted to free up hospital resources we could have done that a year ago with a simple sugar/high fructose syrup tax.
