Hospital system overwhelmed
#4
RE: Hospital system overwhelmed
Recently read a story about a US hospital that had to turn away a cancer patient in need of emergency treatment, due to COVID patients taking up all of the available beds.

And I think making the distinction between ‘a bed’ and a ‘staffed bed’ is kind of pointless, in that it’s readily apparent that they’re the same thing - a hospital could have 1000 beds stored in the basement and still not be able to accept incoming patients.
