"The media" is directly quoting an ER doctor and other people using their real names.
Why wouldn't this happen? Thousands of hospitals are warning that they're filling up. My friend who works in a hospital says there are patients in hallways.
Nothing about this situation is unpredictable or unlikely. People have been expecting it for many months.
