There is a large number of healthcare professionals that are burning out and leaving the industry because of COVID. I know healthcare workers that have worked at Level 1 Trauma centers for years and have never worked so hard to try and save lives.

People seem to think "flattening the curve" means we are beating it. ALL IT MEANS is that we are slowing it down, so our healthcare workers and ERs can catch up to it.

If you have 25 hospitals in a metropolitan area, and in those hospitals you have 100 ICU beds and equipment each. What happens when 3000-4000 people come in needing urgent care? Who is going to care for them? the doctors and nurses are already stretched to the max taking care of the 2500 beds they have! You going to line them up in the hallway? Put them upstairs in private rooms? How do you get the equipment needed up there? Is there even room? what about medical staff? If a hospital has 200 doctors and nurses, and they can only tend to 3-4 patients successfully at a time...but now you have 3000 people coming in needing ventilators and immediate full time attention....what do you do? THAT is what is going on right now.....
