Why are some hospital systems still overwhelmed? Where are all these very sick people coming from if almost everyone has been in contact with the virus?
- angelzen 5y agoBecause hospitals operate with minimal spare capacity. Any epidemic wave will overwhelm the system. That being said, hospitals are not overwhelmed. There may be a handful of hot areas where that is marginally true, but generally speaking the vast majority of the country is doing just fine. I just threw a dart at Iowa: 69% beds occupancy, 10% covid. This is not what "overwhelmed" looks like. https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/region/us/iowa https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/region/us/iowa
