I heard you. I prefer to work with hard facts, and not emotionally-laden scenes and imagery. What was the Covid death rate for your town?

Our city council commandeered a football stadium as an emergency Covid field hospital. It was practically unused.

>Do you believe health services didn't struggled to handle the massive inflow of COVID cases?

The data for the UK health service shows that, overall, hospital capacity was at around 70% for the duration of the pandemic.

>was something that affected only the poor?

You missed my point. The image used showed cheap caskets piled up, in they way that they are in the normal operation of a pauper's graveyard, and may have even been taken before Covid. The point was that the imagery was used for its emotional response, with no context given.
