Yeah, I worry about them, too. My daughter is a nurse in the PICU and a transport nurse. She will be on the front line if/when this hits our area, going to other hospitals to pick kids up to bring them to the PICU. I work in IT for the same hospital, and I see their occupancy rate. It’s been eerily low for several weeks, now. I don’t know if that’s good news or bad. This hospital is on the front line of these types of things, and I’m wondering if they’re keeping the ICU census low so they can handle an influx.

Public health officials in the US have been warning, and planning for community spread for at least a month.
