The March deaths for 2020 were not "way up." In reality, they were way down. The 253,000 in 2019 were high.
In March 2020 there were 193,000 deaths. About 34,000 less deaths than the average death in March for the past four years and way down from 2019's 253,000. The average number of deaths in the US for March over the four years prior to 2020 (2016 – 2019) is 227,000.

Current COVID Mortality Data Not Aligned With Need For Economic Shutdown | The Gateway Pundit | by Joe Hoft
What is going on? After shutting down the government and killing the greatest economy in the world by specialists on the coronavirus, the data is not so clear. Corrected: This article has been updated and corrected to reflect that the data used in the post was the most accurate data at the...www.thegatewaypundit.com
It’s funny how quickly the deaths went from 1-2 million to best case 200,000 to maybe 60,000. If we’re truly creating now at around 15000 I think 40-50,000. Does Vegas have lines?
I know CCMC is furloughing everyone except ICUs basically.
Well done....but you could have accompanied her...at least on a bicycle..My wife was supposed to run first first 1/2 marathon this weekend, but since it is postponed to October, I mapped out a course in our neighborhood, made signs and meeting her with the car at key points of turning.
I'm passing the time reading Last Dance by John Feinstein.
She started around 9ish this morning and she's more than halfway done! I'll update times later on today.
I do have a point, thanks for asking. And that is using March numbers to prove the Coronavirus hasn't really affected the death rate in this country says very little because those numbers were early on and continued to grow exponentially when we had the chance to contain this. That's the very essence of what "flattening the curve" is all about. As a result, we're now days away from being the world leader in Coronavirus deaths.
I know it's a children's hospital, but wouldn't they keep it fully staffed is there actually is a bed shortage and use it for adults???
All elective surgeries are postponed to later dates. My brother's scheduled February surgery was pushed to March, then April, and now into May.
They are hemorrhaging money. All elective surgery delayed and kids aren’t really breaking bones being on tablets all day. Pediatric staff not necessarily trained for adults. Type of facility could be used for emergencies with other staffing I suppose.
Is this a joke?
My nephew is an oncologist in private practice, but their offices are in the hospital...he was told 3 weeks ago that he might be needed to treat Covid patients if the regular staff was too overloaded. Not sure why a pediatric hospital would be any different. So now we have to bail out hospitals because they are too busy???
The tough thing is “elective” is kind of rough. I am working on an infusion product for boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy which is ultra rare. Some are done in hospitals once a week, some are done at home.
It’s a children’s hospital and children aren’t getting sick. The staff is furloughed not blasted into Jupiter. They asked for volunteers to take adults. It’s a for profit business like anything else. No customers no money
Aren't children people? I understand its a specialty hospital..but isn't a hospital geared toward children better equipped to handle Covid than a tent in the middle of a park? How can we have this massive capacity shortage yet be furloughing medical staff?? Maybe there really isn't this capacity issue
Is this why hospitals are screaming for the Feds to supply all the equipment...so they don't have to pay? Even though they are getting paid for the care they provide.
They aren't getting paid.....yet.
First...let me say that Dr.'s deserve to be EXTREMELY well paid...the amount of time you guys put in is inspiring and your impact on society is incalculable.
