There’s a television in the break room here at work.

A few minutes ago it was playing a breathless news story about how hospitals are overflowing ...

Just like the last time when they weren’t and then the overflow hospital here was closed without seeing a patient.

Hospitals don't make money from empty beds. They have enough beds to accommodate the peak hospitalization season or slightly less. Just by pure chance there is always some hospital somewhere in the country that's full. The media points to that hospital and implies that this is happening across the country and as the result of covid.
