I'm not living under a rock. I'm actually living a mile or two from a virtually empty hospital. The post I was responding to implied hospitals were overwhelmed. I simply asked which ones. Specically. Name them. If you don't know, fine. But, responding with downvotes snd insults doesn't seem productive.

Two weeks ago, we (by 'we' I mean the 320 million+ who don't live in NYC) were told by Cuomo that hospitals would be overrun and 40,000+ ventilators would be needed. Thankfully, that wasn't true. Was it?

Living 2 miles away from a virtually empty hospital in the middle of nowhere = living under a rock. Here where there's a dense population, every hospital IS overrun and if they are not past capacity, it's literally because they turn you away unless you need severe intervention like intubation.
