The first informed comment on this thread so far.
The hospital ships are not there for the Wuhan Flu per se. They are there to accept trauma patients in anticipation of the city hospitals being overwhelmed with Wuhan Flu victims and unable to cope with trauma cases. And, to protect trauma victims from being infected with the virus when their bodies are under extreme stress due to trauma.
Apparently, many of the city hospitals are unaware of this. Blame the mayor’s office for not communicating this clearly to the city hospitals.
And because many to most people are not working, there are fewer car wrecks and industrial accidents, thus, less trauma.
On the flip side, I work for an essential company and am still going in to work. Freeways are great and I think you must have to really work to get pulled over. On Thursday, I was doing 15 over and got passed by not one but two troopers.
Hospitals unaware?
Snort.
Hospitals don’t want to part with income.
Forget anecdotal reports. We need to see utilization rates for every hospital in the state.
