The reasoning of "hospital capacity" for lockdown this year holds just as valid every flu season in Québec, when hospitals are usually above 110% capacity, with peaks over 135% capacity.
The emergency hospitals that cost hundreds of millions of dollars were never used, and the government just said they would triage and let people die if an hospital reaches 200% capacity.
Not a word about deploying this temporary hospitals we already paied for.
Just cue a few interviews with doctors and nurses begging for a break at "the war front" and lockdown the nation for weeks and months every year. Every year some doctors and nurses get stressed and overworked. The population surrendered its basic rights, we aren't getting them back.
Edit : Remember "two weeks to flatten the curve and save the hospitals" became "9 months+ of draconian lockdowns are worth it to save even a single life" even when it became clear hospitals were coping fine almost everywhere, and everywhere with smart use of patient transfers to low-charge hospitals.
