Episode notes
Timothy Stanley: What happens to a health system when it is overwhelmed? He says hospitals are built for disaster like chemical plant explosion or big crash on the inner state werets. But they do that by kind of very carefully running it round o 80 or 90 % capacity all the time, he writes. When you have covet patients in your hospital beds, there's no extra room and people can wait weeks before being admitted. The same thing happened at one Kentucky hospital where an incoming ambulance was told "we don't have any room here" It took them two hours to admit everyone who needed to be admitted.
