Orthopedists being reallocated to treating pneumonias goes a little beyond "working overtime".

But orthopedists can support hospitals elsewhere, freeing up proper resources for for stuff like pneumonia. It is not that because of corona nothing else happens at hospitals.

Also, pretty much in line emergency handling. There is a reason why national emergencies are getting declared. It is the sesantional, alarmist way this stuff is reported that is driving me mad. We should all stay calm and follow guidelines. Instead people buy toilet paper (still just finny) and masks (where gets less funny pretty fast). This kind of reporting, amplified by social media, is a huge part of the problem.
