Hospitals overwhelmed in California and Alabama as national death toll approaches 100,000
Coronavirus pandemic spreads across the US South
{Excess patients are being transferred to Birmingham, a trip for those infected of more than an hour.}
Just imagine the cost of the ambulance ride or life flight for that!
{This is particularly concerning in the current pandemic because of the incubation period of the coronavirus. It takes 2-14 days before symptoms appear and even longer before a patient gets tested and possibly hospitalized. “We’re looking at potentially a month or two later that we’re going to see the impact” of the reopening, said former Baltimore health commissioner Leana Wen to the Washington Post. “You have not seen the impact of reopening yet. I think there’s going to be a very significant lag.”}
I think we are already seeing it in Ohio.

In Ohio? Same as across the nation I would imagine. You only get tested if you go to get examined and showing symptoms. In some cases that isn't even done. The stories of people being sent away without being tested then becoming ill, many dying, seem endless. I've read stories of people being sent away as many as 3 times and then dying. You basically have to be VIP or to a point you're approaching death to get a test to know how to place you. Hope you live in an area that happens to have an abundance of test kits to spare one! The wealthy are able to buy them and test an entire community though!?! Have money and live in a gated community?
@William_Mary well slighly different here now. Iowa has started, this weekend, testing anyone who wants to be tested. There is a web page that sets up the times to get tested. I am not sure if they intend to do contact tracing or not... should find out.
When will people wake up? When 1/2 million are dead? A million? 1% of 350 million is 3-1/2 million.
