With this supposed “second wave” of COVID-19 sweeping across the country, many liberals are lying with the claim that hospitals are becoming overwhelmed.

In the U.S. and in other countries earlier in the year, health care administrators worked aggressively to add surge capacity in hospitals and medical facilities, hoping to avoid the chaos witnessed in certain Italian regions and in other parts of Europe.

Many leaders, meanwhile — including a majority of U.S. governors — announced an open-ended moratorium on what were deemed “non-essential” medical procedures, including cancer screenings and other early interventions, in an effort to ensure hospital space would be free for the expected influx of COVID patients.

And yet, the healthcare system is not being overwhelmed anywhere. The fears are all foolishness… just like they were the first time.

Instead we have arbitrary lockdowns, pointless mask mandates, continued school shutdowns, and the destruction of our lives.
