Here is another article about hospital layoffs [1] As to the number of patients, it is highly regional. This is the official state of Iowa Coronavirus info page [2]. My coworker's wife is a doctor here in Story county. My neighbor is a nurse at the clinic across the street from my house. Both have said business is way down and they are having trouble finding enough work to fill their time. My mom is recently retired from the hospital in Mitchell county. She fills in for people in her old department when they are short staffed. She said last week what would normally have been a ten hour day for her took two hours to complete. We are strangling the majority of hospitals because the minority are overrun. That isn't sustainable.
