There should be more awareness about what is going on in hospitals all year round. Media hype can make everything extreme.

And there are many theories to explain, for example NY morgues may have been overflowing because morgue owners were afraid to accept people who died from Covid.

Is there actual evidence that people died because they couldn't receive care? Even in Italy I have not seen the evidence, just YouTube videos of some alleged doctors making such claims.

Serious question. I would love to see evidence of people dying because they couldn't receive care (in the Western world).

So you won't accept video evidence given by named doctors at specific hospitals, thus easily checked by the media or anyone who has anything to do with the hospital.

What evidence would you accept?

Named doctors would be a start. Media doing some checking would also be a start. Some person looking like a doctor making claims on YouTube is not sufficient.

None of those reports citing the alleged doctor actually checked with the hospitals.

Maybe that should be the minimum: actually checking the situation, rather than repeating some random claims.

Maybe they died because aliens coincidentally Tele-killed them. Lots of theories!
