I'm unsure why IG_Semmelweiss sibling comment is dead and why I can't vouch or reply to it, but even NPR is reporting on the exact same phenomena: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/05/06/850454989/eerie-emptiness-of-ers-worries-doctors-where-are-the-heart-attacks-and-strokes https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/05/06/8504549... This concerns me because my dad has congestive heart failure and can't get proper medical support right now. What we should be doing is segregating hospitals, keeping some focused on COVID and others focused on non-COVID medical emergencies.

I've heard of some people getting stuff scheduled way out at suburban hospitals, often out of network, and clearing out their health savings accounts to get essential surgery. That's fucked up.

  That's what I did. Vouch didn't work nor was there a reply link.

I just downvoted that comment because it opens with a fact (as reported by some news agencies): > ER admissions are down 50% or more depending in county. But then spins it into some kind of conspiracy BS: > ...missing people... ...swept under the COVID rug...
