One of our city hospitals is overrun by the flu every year. Never even makes the news.
I never read about anything like that. Where and when?

St Louis University Hospital has people in beds in the hallway pretty near every year. I don’t recall seeing a story on it.
Of course, their average time to admit from ER is around 4 hours or so.

If CNN covered the flu season two years ago 24/7 and kept a running death scoreboard Jan thru Apr, I bet we'd have seen a lot of the hysteria we're seeing now.

happens here too almost every year. that is one reason I want to end the lockdown stuff so we can get our peak of covid out of the way in the summer.

Then how would someone in BR ever know?
It should be reported if true. Why wouldn’t they?
ER admittance is notoriously slow everyone and quite common.

You're wrong. Period.
Keeping a hospitals viable by flattening the rate of spread was the intent of the stay at home orders.
You are a intellectually dishonest, pearl clutching skyscreamer.

He’s actually a holier than though libertarian which makes his longing for shutdowns even more bizarre

Well, they should define what social distancing measures they are referring to in these models. Is it people making sure to keep distance between one another or an entire economic shutdown?

Nothing other than the history of viruses.
How does that work?

The IHME models are referring to shutdowns when they use the term social distancing.

I was actually thinking this could be used in a good way. We need a lung cancer death scoreboard updated daily. Lung Cancer killed over 150,000 in the US in 2018. Bet that would help some folks to quit smoking.

Yup. Our officials were terrified (with good reason) of having a situation like Northern Italy where people were sent home to die because of a lack beds, rooms, etc.

Exactly, and what would the result of keeping hospitals viable be? Better treatment for individuals, and less misery and death, right?
