I think we'll see 300K+ Daily Cases & 2,000 Daily Deaths and the wave will last until October.

(4,999 posts)I think the dead toll will be another 100k to 300k. 300k if our hospital systems totally break down, which they are very close to now.

(26,576 posts)I was reluctant to go to the Emergency Department at my local hospital because (among other concerns) I was worried they couldn't take me in if I didn't have Covid. Fortunately, the local Emergency Department had plenty of room for me. I was fortunate. The heart attack was dealt with appropriately, and I recovered quite well.
Some months on, after cardiac rehab, I am doing quite well. Thank you very much.
