Advocate Aurora is the largest health system in Illinois and operates several hospitals in Wisconsin. Some Illinois employees are being deployed to Wisconsin because beds without healthcare professionals are useless.

Illinois is surrounded by states that are surging. Probably only a matter of time before Round 2.
Prez said it's ok. Don't let it bother you.

The fatality rate is the same as seasonal flu. I wouldn't worry.

No, it's not. Next.

Oh, and the corona virus is much much more contagious than the seasonal flu.

It is now 3 days later since your post. Do you still stand by your statement that North Dakota hospitals are overwhelmed? Has the North Dakota hospital system collapsed yet?

I hate when people just shoot from the hip, miss completely, then move on to the next target and make yet another outrageous claim.

Illinois cases are surging too. 4000 new cases today. We had massive lockdowns and are destroying people's livelihoods with all sorts of restrictions. We have proud mask wearers all over the place too of course many are wearing BLM looter type scarves which do nothing. Chicago's silly mayor has half the country on a no go list, which is ridiculous.

So are you saying being unprepared is the best way? My father in-law is FDNY. They sit around prepared waiting for the disaster so they can react quickly. It's what developed nations do. I understand the leader of this country has made a point. But what's wrong with being prepared?

With winter driving everyone in Europe indoors it is going to get ugly including in Sweden.
