Not real healthcare workers. Most work their butts off every shift. Maybe not so much in hospitals now because this deadly virus has made the hospitals emptier than ever. /s/

Your would be surprised. We have had local media do "cute" little stories about this. I suggest you contacting the HR department at your local hospital and tell them to tell their employees that you will not appreciate seeing this.

Hint: Hospitals aren't overrun anymore than they usually are around this time of year. It's all lies.

Hospitals are designed to be full so they can make money.

I'm a lean six sigma consultant who gigged at a hospital for a bit.

Its no different than any other manufacturing. It costs a ton of money for the equipment and personnel so you need a baseline of filled beds to break even. We create a slush factor for unexpected events but overall, modelling the sick is like modeling anything else. Supply of patient stays consistent once you've got enough data to run with.

The real kicker is that you must be constantly upgrading equipment so the facility can not only treat patients, but become a wanted destination for new patients. That equipment is massively expensive and depreciation is equally huge.

Think about the video card market but in the tens of millions of dollars. Those cards cost a shitload and once theyre a few years old they're worthless on tbe resale market
