As hundreds more cases, many of them likely to be false positives, are picked up during aggressive screening, fewer patients can receive adequate support care. This compounds the clinical and ethical burden on medics working 24-hour shifts, working alongside colleagues who then become patients and living in hospitals because they are unwilling to risk infecting their families by going home.

The risk of hospitals themselves becoming sites of infection is considerable: https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/01/26/2019-ncov-china-epidemic-pandemic-the-wuhan-coronavirus-a-tentative-clinical-profile/ Tragic to think that places of healing could be sites of the worst spread of the virus. I feel for medical personnel. Let's hope the current data proves overstated.

I don't buy the numbers at the J.Hopkins site. Considering how the Chinese are shutting down whole Provinces and cities it's hard to accept a mere 2800 plus cases and 81 deaths. Take a look at this... nyshc.health.ny.gov This flu tracker just for New York state has total flu cases at 57,000 plus so far this season. Doesn't show deaths from Flu, but you know there has to be some and probably more then 81. I had a friend die from flu in March 2018. Went to the hospital for his Liver. After a couple of days he was doing fine, then caught the flu while there and died about a week later. Hobbled in on his own and got carted out of the hospital toes up and a sheet over his face.
