TerribleBPthrower posted:@2022NYC, that is the case in NY. FL is not overwhelmed. A CEO of a hospital in Broward County told me personally that his hospital is like a ghost town. They have Covid cases, but that’s it. He is furloughing staff next week if they can’t open up to regular hospital business.
FL, in this case, Ers in Broward, were overwhelmed. But many patients did test positive for Flu A. Once the spring breakers left, cruise ships stopped letting people off ships, we went into a stay at home order, required masks while shopping, limiting flights into FL airports, things eased up. I know things aren't as bad in Martin County, but the general consensus here is how stupid was that for opening the beach in Jax? You would think that no one here, looking at pictures, couldn't go out of their house!
We need widespread testing. Plain and simple.
Ask the many doctors and nurses that got sick (many died) if this was a normal flu. To suggest that this was a media driven hysteria, or even mention the word hoax, is irresponsible. JMO
