It is interesting that people are avoiding emergency care, but some reasons to look into: 1) A lot of hospital visits are from "frequent flyers" - lonely people, homeless people trying to get a free meal, etc. These frequent flyers try to go every day, consuming 1000x more resources than a normal person. (I've met some.) They may be afraid of catching corona virus this month. 2) Depending on the area of the US, you either get a lot of gunshot wounds (Chicago) or car accidents. With lockdown, there's less going on in the streets. 3) Also, uninsured people may be going to the hospital as a last resort in order to avoid getting corona virus. For example, those without insurance may just be waiting for the all clear to drop by again. (In the US, the fallback for no insurance is to go to the emergency ward.)
