I work in a hospital. It seems completely empty, but it’s not. Operating at 80% elective load. ER is far from crowded, but staff tell me they’re getting like 10% of the BS visits they used to. 2 COVID patients as of last week. But the big reason it seems empty is there are no visitors. Figure every ER and maternity patient is one or two visitors. Anybody elderly is probably driven in by somebody. Maybe 25% of inpatient has a visitor at any given time.
