I have no doubt that due medical staff shortages, most of which are due deemed isolation periods, rather than whether said medico is no longer infectious, are causing those who are able to provide care to get hammered. But COVID hospital bed numbers in NSW of 2500 as at Jan 15th are about 1/10th of the 20,700 available beds.....hardly overwhelming.
An inconvenient truth is almost all state health systems were lurching from one crisis to he next due inadequate funding and staff levels well before COVID hit. Ambulance crews were being regularly turned away from ED's. Pollies of all persuasions should be made to squirm for prior and current mal-administration of our health system.
None the less...indeed if you are double vaxed and have a booster, a COVID infection will almost certainly mean you will avoid an ED visit.
