Are they full because the hospital is concerned about lawsuits and panic? Say I come in with a headache, do I get an ICU bed?
Also, cannot the hospital capitalize on this? You stubbed your toe?! Corona Virus!
It is weird that none of us on the Internet seem to grasp this. It is only through anecdotes of others. Voat doesn't get it. This site does not seem to get it. Only stories of others.
Heavy Edit: I went to a major park in a major city yesterday. There was literally 20 - 50 times the normal people there with their dogs. No one seem to exhibit any symptoms of a flu or virus or anything. The 4.5 miles I walked with all the folks walking by me ... nothing.
Check the map yourself. https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6
The city proper is split into two counties. As of yesterday, Fulton County: 231 confirmed cases. 2 Deaths. DeKalb County: 137 confirmed cases. 0 Deaths.
I suspect they are trying to keep known cases quarantined as much as possible to prevent the spread at such an exponential rate.
What if I told you that confirmed cases means people that feel fine but tested positive for the virus?
