My parents (who live in KC) are over 60 and aren't taking it all that seriously, so when I read "KC is preparing to be out of ICU beds with everyone on a vent by the weekend", you can imagine that's a bit worrisome.

Just talked to my daughter who is an ICU RN at one of the major KC hospitals and she is getting scared. Not for getting the virus which she thinks she already has but because the hospitals aren't prepared for this and they don't have enough protective gear, supplies or equipment.
Most of the nurses in KC are part of the union so there has been alot of fighting with management going on. Management is telling them don't need much protective gear etc.
They haven't had to many patients yet though.
