Italy didn't get fucked in early 2020 because of Covid. They got fucked because they had 3 times less hospital beds per capita then in 1970.

If you look at the numbers of beds, most of the world followed the same formula, reduction of beds. The US, Russia, UK (that I've looked at) all reduced their number of beds during this same time. Covid may be stressing the current system, but the stress is there because of 3 - 4 decades of consistent reduction in the number of beds.

I mean, the system is explicitly created to have 0 overhead and be completely vulnerable to the slightest amount of stress.
