Of course they should be allowed here.

They’re a great demonstration of what happens to any medical system that’s overwhelmed over a many month period with an infectious disease.

Our major medical centers would look no different under the circumstances once all the disposable PPE gear had been used.

The person posting them however implied that medical care there always looked like that. It’s not the Mayo, but it certainly doesn’t look like that under normal circumstances.

Not only that, all the ancillary workers would quit. Housekeeping, laundry, maintenance, cafeteria. They don't make much money, and are not as committed like a physician or nurse. Most likely, quite a few medical and nursing staff would leave if they perceived the situation as risking their life to a intolerable degree. I remember the AIDS crisis when it started in the 1980s. Nurses quit the infectious disease until in my hospital when AIDS first came on the scene.
