The people of Michigan are starting to see the fear-driven headlines that our hospitals are reaching capacity and Covid-19 positive case rates and hospitalizations are climbing.
For instance, I found the following headline at the MLive news site “St. Joseph Mercy Hospital Ann Arbor nears capacity as Michigan sees COVID-19 hospitalizations rise”. The article proclaims in the first two paragraphs the following:
“Hospitalizations for COVID-19 are rising significantly in Michigan, and St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Ann Arbor is among the hospitals nearing capacity.
As of Monday, April 5, St. Joe’s was at 99% capacity, according to the state. Hospital officials said there were 81 COVID-19 positive patients on Wednesday morning.”
