Your understanding of the impact of this on hospital capacity is noteworthy.
You focus on the death rate. That is the least of your worries.
But, keep at it. You will figure it out.
I understand that hospitals can become overwhelmed - maybe the Dems should be outraged at them for not planning ahead and having a lot of extra “just in case” beds.
My daughter is an RN and I have friends who have worked with some big institutions - one was hired by the CDC to develop some standard sequencing for test and evaluations because so many doctors/medical centers use a mish-mash of protocols.
Another is a microbiologist,
They all have 2 similarities:
1. We need to take proper precautions but the panic has caused folks to take actions that are counterproductive,
2. The panic is irrational.
So many been showing models of the death rate - with varying data that has varied by 300% for the models, that nobody really knows enough to go into full panic mode...but here we are.
Some places already edicting mandatory lockdowns (while saying they have to release their prisoners - go figure) and each new drastic action fuels more drastic actions because if someone doesn’t take them and some extra folks die that MAY have been saved, the lawyers will have a field day.
At this stage, we cannot really be sure which actions are prudent and proper and which actions are merely knee-jerkers because someone else took some action.
