I haven't encountered that level of idiocy, but plenty of people in their 30s and 40s who think most people who get it end up in the hospital. Bitches that isn't even true for 80 year olds.
A note about the hospital beds, if you pay attention they will often talk about ICU beds, not just hospital beds. Particularly if it's a children's hospital. The thing is ICU beds are always of a limited number and heavily utilized. They are much more expensive to maintain, so this is by design. Empty ICU beds are a wasted cost. More so in a children's hospital because even things like terminally ill kids are less likely to need ICU care.
You might like this, it's a Gallup poll on hospitalization risk for Covid. https://archive.is/rVn2Z Take what you will about what you think about the accuracy of polls, etc. but the thing I take from it the most is how high the numbers are on hospitalization. Huge amounts of people answered that they believe that an un-vaccinated person has a 50-50 chance of ending up in the hospital if they catch Covid. When I think the real numbers are in the less than 1% category. That's a really wide chasm between reality and what they have been indoctrinated to believe.
