It is clear that you do want to ignore that nurses and doctors are a finite quantity. Yeah this is very similar to climate contrarians that wanted to say the same to paleo climate scientists that they were spinning people by hiding temperature increases, a wrong accusation when what what happened was that non experts misinterpreted the reason why.
Read it again, it is clear that just like contrarians of climate science deny that temperatures increased regardless of the divergence problem, contrarians now deny that hospitals do things by not ignoring that people still will get to the ICU for other reasons and clearly prepare for eventualities that are very likely to come. That non hospital business men with some power in government broadcast unfair opinions does not mean that they are correct about how hospitals do things.
I rather listen to the experts on the field rather than an elected dunderhead that was put there by laymen. People that ignore safety valves could make something work for awhile but eventually the few that advice that usually will get the system to blow up in their faces.
