In fact all of the temporary field hospitals here in the states were closed virtually. Are you sure, especially particularly early & also this late? My understanding is that several crucial treatments were mass-deferred, several places had no beds, the dead were literally stacked on trucks, and the medical system has been utterly destroyed either from staff falling ill or getting so emotionally destroyed that they've quit. Wasn't there a mainstream situation a bit ago where a nurse literally had to call the fire department because of lack of medical staff? My understanding is that hospitals still haven't recovered in terms of staffing.
