Does anyone know if NYC area hospitals are actually being “overwhelmed”? Is there any data on the number of available beds, ICU beds, etc., as compared to any other flu season? Yeah, I know, however many thousands of COVID-19 “cases” there are in NYC... But how many actual necessary hospitalizations have there been, and how does it compare to normal rates, and how “full” are the hospitals?
And I’m really not interested in, “Well, if we don’t all stay shut in our homes until June (or is it until July yet?), hospitals will be “overwhelmed.” I’m looking for some actual data, and not “projections” or “worst-case” scenarios.
Well we have CBS pretending hospital scenes in Italy are actually NYC hospitals so there is that.
They sure are not being overwhelmed in West Virginia...
Beds empty, revenues slowed at hospitals in West Virginia; CAMC announces hours reduction measures (CAMC=Charleston Area Medical Center)
Talk about unintended consequences!
Well, hospitals are closed for ordinary inpatient and outpatient services due to CV, so that is effectively the same as being overwhelmed by CV in my opinion.
Trump said at today’s presser they’ve asked for real data relative to #s of hospital beds available and #s of ventilators available. Should cut down on the BS fear mongering social media crap.
