Now, bear in mind, that before March, our hospitals were pretty stretched at the best of times already. The Nightingales / Louisa Jordan / Dragons Heart were meant to catch all that overspill. 154 patients out of a total capacity of 16 or 17,000
Covid-19 moved to first cause of death in New York before measures kicked in. I see you're banned now so no point arguing further, you clearly can't see we want to keep it (further) down by implementing control. You against the world eh? Cases in USA continue to rise, could be a big week.
Expect to see more headlines like this:

Maybe worth posting in case orkneycadian is still watching, kind of sums it up?
"I think the thing that's most painful for them right now, and most challenging for them, is while they're working their butts off — and they're working hard — it's the fact that they don't know if the community sees how serious this is," Heywood said. "They see the politicization of it, and then they see the repercussions of what's happening when they do their job every day.
"And they're watching people die."

"It's not just about you," he said. "It's about the people you care about, as well."
Eggman has also listened to the final words of COVID-19 patients.
"We have many patients who have come in here and their last words before we put a in breathing tube are they didn't realize it was as bad as it was," he said.
