What happens to all of the other people who need surgery if hospitals face a thundering hurd problem when thousands of people find out they have COVID-19?
I am on the fence with knowing or not knowing. The lack of information is causing panic buying. I went to Wholefoods this morning and people are cleaning out the shelves. They are buying stuff they would not normally buy. The butcher told be when they order 100 cases from a distributor they are only getting 50 or less. This panic buying is really creating a problem. If shelves go empty and stay empty, what happens?
