Add to that if you live in an area where you have more than one hospital, do you think administrators want to be known in the community as having a high inpatient COVID population? How would that work when restrictions ease and elective surgeries begin? You think the general population is going to want to have that procedure in a place with a low or high COVID population? In my opinion, the hospitals do a great job of isolation so it wouldn't matter - but to those health illiterate - it will matter to them.
Is NY going to get hammered? All those Seniors dying in Nursing homes with all those hospital beds empty.
