3 people in the one family is pretty bad odds ketsuko.
It's the boxes that people tick i suppose, and to do with preexisting medical conditions and age.
Life must go on all the same, just with precautionary measures in place,
Im not sure how i feel about Lockdown 2.0 if im honest.

Where/from whom did you hear that your hospitals are at near capacity? And about Texas?

Hospitalizations are at a record high, too, with just 8% of the total number of ICU beds in the state available.
In a news release, they say as of Tuesday afternoon 100% of their beds are full at all Mayo Clinic Health System hospitals in the northwest region, which encompasses Barron, Bloomer, Eau Claire, Osseo and Menomonie. Of those patients, 83 of them have COVID-19.

Because it highlights that a family of three people who died with coronavirus are being targeted by trolls who say it's a hoax.
That's why.
Can you imagine the anguish these moronic bastards cause these poor people at such a time?
Not good, not good at all.

So I read your first article and it's like the local ones.
They are worried that the spike in cases will cause a spike in hospital demand because they are seeing increased hospitalizations. They don't exactly say what those hospitalizations are for. They do imply they are COVID-related which is not exactly the same as COVID caused meaning not someone sick because of COVID itself.
So it sounds to me they're experiencing the same types of surges that our local hospitals are -- people who could not put off treatment any more than they already have because of COVID fear and who became critical care patients because they tried. Those people are now coming into the hospital in increasing numbers and possibly overwhelming the system. Certainly the system could be overwhelmed if a lot of the spike in cases become critical care patients.
But that last bit hasn't quite happened yet.

What it means is that COVID 19 kills people.

Thank you.
You know what? Where can people go to get these numbers (or the real numbers, if these are inaccurate) other than “news” organizations? People, we need to stop using ANY news source anymore. I don’t know what else we can do but to get numbers direct from these entities, or places that are NOT news organizations. I mean, do you trust the newspaper you cited? I wouldn’t. The fear-mongering headline alone already casts doubt in the rest of the information.
