COVID causes tremendous downstream impact within a healthcare system.
It means that healthcare professionals are working 24/7 to care for all the patients who come in. It means that treatment of other patients — for example, those who are chronically ill or who need to get a CT scan — gets pushed back so that COVID patients can be treated.
In short, the effects of the COVID pandemic go way beyond COVID-infected patients.
