I work as a RN in a hospital.
No one ever dies because we do not have a bed. We do not turn anyone having an emergency away;
it's the law! You may have to have a temporary bed in the hallway but
you will have a bed and get the same care as you would in ICU or on a Med/Surg floor.
These scare stories just exacerbate the public's fears and are more dangerous than the virus itself!
