From what I understand, many hospital staff got burned out during the pandemic, so that is compounding the staff shortage that every business is having because of high unemployment payments providing a cushion. Now, ironically, the more hospital staff complain publicly about how exhausted they are, the less people trust them. This is really one of those downstream effects that people forget about: having a stiff upper lip and grinding through is necessary for public trust. It's a sign of restraint that you don't blast out to the world how very, very angry the staff is at all the unvaccinated people, because that just proves you cannot be trusted not to bitch at me when I'm at my lowest and need your help. And like you said, there seems to be a resistance in most hospital systems to adapt to the reality that you're going to be treating people for COVID for a long time no matter what, and we might need different therapeutics than ventilators. Nurses and other staff feel "betrayed" by the public for not following their orders to the letter, but it's no one's fault for getting a highly contagious disease, masked or vaxxed or not. It's frustrating. I just don't want to hear complaining anymore. You took an oath, it should have been an oath of silence.
