I understand it seems counter-intuitive to see empty hospitals but that is part of the plan. They want empty hospitals so that when/if the virus hits that location the hospitals aren't overwhelmed. They canceled all elective procedures. The shelter at home means less

..car accidents, less flu patients, less shootings, less work place accidents/injuries. All of this means empty hospitals which is exactly what the government wants at this time. You don't want full or half full hospitals to be hit by a pandemic. It will overwhelm staff and

..it would cause mass infection rates in patients that don't have the virus. This is why the Mercy and Comfort was sent to NY and CA as alternative hospitals to clear out the other hospitals. So, all these videos of empty hospitals is just confirming that the plan is working.

These videos say nothing about the strength or weakness of the virus. They don't confirm that the virus isn't a problem or that there is some grand conspiracy afoot. In fact, during the next month if the plan works, empty hospitals are what we want to see.

The lay-offs are a different matter since that is going against the plan. You want empty hospitals that are fully staffed. I can only assume that it's a misguided part on hospital administrators to save money which with the passage of the CARES act and the $100+ billion they are

going to get is just a shameful display by them. They should be staffing the hospitals fully even if there is nothing for them to do at this particular moment since they will be needed when/if the virus hits their community. Unless they assume they can quickly call people back

if needed or if the people being laid off are those working in clerical positions. However, just remember empty or lighted used hospitals is the plan and we should all hope they stay empty/lightly used for the next month.
