A lot of this is besides the point because what matters is hospitalization rate, and we've already reached the point where some hospital systems are stressed. Beyond that point, people die that otherwise wouldn't. So I'm not sure there's a big difference in appropriate response.
- orangecat 7y agowe've already reached the point where some hospital systems are stressed. Only NYC has gotten anywhere near their capacity, and even there (as far as I know) nobody has been denied care due to insufficient resources. Many hospitals in other areas are mostly empty and even cutting shifts, e.g. https://www.insidesources.com/unexpected-consequence-of-covid-19-crisis-empty-emergency-rooms/ https://www.insidesources.com/unexpected-consequence-of-covi...
