“If it breaks...the hospitals won’t make it three or four days. Urban areas will be the worst.”
They are going to have to stop people from coming to the hospitals, or have excess spill over areas near the emergency rooms that can handle them.
You can’t have hundreds of people showing up frantic with their family members in critical condition trying to get in an emergency room with no where to go.
Most hospitals (that I’ve heard of—I listen to my wife’s conference calls) are putting up triage tents. Most people are/will be sent home.
If this starts happening this is where you will see the “center fails.” Can you imagine the terror when some folks finding out they are not “sick enough” or that they cannot take patients over 75.
That is when all hell breaks loose.
