You know how bad it got in New York?

Used in the military for obvious reasons during wartime. Sadly people in this country are too ignorant to understand what it means when their ICU is FULL.

I've been wishing they'd explain this better, so people will understand why it's critical to stop the spread.

Literally a horrible traffic accident can result in many deaths simply because there is no room at the inn when normally critical patients can be cared for in the ICU.
