From what I've read, ALL hospitals are in short supply of rooms to isolate Covid 19 patients. Some are setting up tents in their parking lots.

Virus patient cannot be mixed in with other patients.

Wilmington Hospital will be easily overwhelmed...along with the rest of the smaller coastal hospitals.

Something to think about...

Stay well---and stay safe...
The Outer Banks hospital was overwhelmed by a super windy day back in 2011, with surfer and bodyboarding accidents. I was there. Absolutely NO WAY can they deal with a coronavirus outbreak. No way.
