If it is at lower capacity, beyond a waste of resources, hospitals will sell them off, and fire the workers responsible for them.
Throughout these past two years, many people have been fired from healthcare, and hiring freezes have come into effect in many areas, because less people are going to hospitals.
My mother works in a hospital, granted, not like a nurse, but still interacts with patients, she even came home after an appointment the other day because when she got in there was nobody there, and she'll turn the news on and hear lester holt talking in an ominous voice about OMICRON and start panicking. We've been open longer than a lot of people down here in texas, wide fucking open, and shit hasn't changed whatsoever, and people that are in the hospitals are still panicking because of the god damned media.
