One of my aunts was going through her last round of cancer treatments during this time. (Turned out to not help, she passed pretty young but the cancer had taken root years ago and there wasn't anything that could be done...)

My mother was taking her to a regional hospital that could handle the treatments. I said "It's being reported that hospitals are just overflowing with covid patients, you're lucky you could get in." She goes no, it was empty and quiet...I think that was the first tap at the lightswitch of understanding.

When they were saying the surge had started at the hospitals at the beginning of Covid my nephew spent a month in the hospital for a ruptured appendix. They only had 3 patients on that floor, a few on the maternity ward and the other floors were vacant, the first floor lobby was a ghost town along with the parking garages.

The surge never happened.
