This is a perfect sign of what I’m talking about.

They fucked around with these people for so long that when they need them, actually need them, they aren’t there. They rolled the dice in an assumption that they held sufficient economic power to control them. Now they are left exposing patients to covid as a necessity to prevent their operations from completely ceasing.

That is failure by any other name.

I wouldn’t blame the hospital too much — they were responding to the economic incentive of lockdowns and lack of actual patient pressure by closing entire wings of the hospital and laying people off. I.e there wouldn’t be this nurse shortage at the hospital if the lockdowns never happened.
