I remember early last year, someone on Facebook claimed we didn't need to worry about lack of medical resources, because big cities, where Covid was hitting hardest, could bring in personnel from rural areas.

The U.S. has topped 4,000 daily deaths from the coronavirus for the first time, breaking a record set just one day earlier. The tally from Johns Hopkins University shows the U.S. had 4,085 deaths from COVID-19 Thursday.
The U.S. had nearly 275,000 new coronavirus cases as well. More than 365,000 Americans have died from the coronavirus since the pandemic began.
The numbers are another reminder of the worsening situation following travel for holidays and family gatherings, along with more time indoors during the winter months. There's been a surge in cases and deaths in Arizona, Texas and Florida and California, where some hospitals are on the verge of rationing care.
