NEW YORK (AP) —
Gleaming new tent hospitals sit empty on two suburban New York college
campuses, never having treated a single coronavirus patient. Convention
centers that were turned into temporary hospitals in other cities went
mostly unused. And a Navy hospital ship that offered help in Manhattan
is soon to depart.
When
virus infections slowed down or fell short of worst-case predictions,
the globe was left dotted with dozens of barely used or unused field
hospitals. Some public officials say that’s a good problem to have —
despite spending potentially billions of dollars to erect the care
centers — because it’s a sign the deadly disease was not nearly as
cataclysmic as it might have been.
Nice map there showing cases and deaths by county. Much of America barely touched.
