After the hospitals in Wuhan were quickly overwhelmed, we apparently thought it wouldn't happen outside China. After the hospitals in Lombardy were overwhelmed, apparently lots of people in the US thought it couldn't happen in New York like it happened in Italy. So I don't think the argument "It can't happen in NJ the way it is happening in NY" is a convincing one, it's just wishful thinking. The tragic thing is that neither I nor anyone else needs to argue against this ridiculous "worst case" of 880 hospitalizations (that apparently assumes no growth beyond 4402 cases on March 25): all we need to do is wait until later today when the new numbers come out. If you're looking for on-the-record sources, every ICU bed in Atlanta is full, according to the mayor of Atlanta. https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/489374-atlanta-mayor-explains-decision-to-impose-stricter-restrictions-than https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/489374-atlanta-mayo... That's with 1,387 confirmed cases Wednesday, up from 1,097 confirmed cases Tuesday.
