For @MagaCatanon

You proved my point.

COVID-19 is taking up all our medical resources.
People are staying home because either they CHOOSE to or they HAVE to.

As for people dying at home, that's nothing new.
The leading cause of death in the US is cardiac arrest.

Every year, 395,000 cases of cardiac arrest occur outside of a hospital setting, in which less than 6 percent survive.

About 200,000 cardiac arrests occur each year in hospitals, and 24 percent of those patients survive.
There haven't been any recent comprehensive studies on where most cancer patients die, but in 1994 up to 70 percent of patients died at home.

Today more patients are choosing hospice, but the majority DON'T die in the hospital.
So even with the much more limited cases of COVID-19, hospitals are TOO OVERBURDENED to care for most other patients.

People are dying at home because most of them already did.

COVID-19 is making them die in the ICU.
The system wasn't designed for that.

Just accept it:

Trump made the right decision.

Whatever you say, I can debunk it with FACTS, so give up.

END.
