Highly Questionable the NRV Healthcare Infrastructure Could Handle Surge


Lewis Gale Hospital in Bburg has 146 total beds. See link below. I can't find the source right now but I read about a month ago that Montgomery Count has a ratio of 23 ICU beds per 100K of population. US Average is about 35. My county is Colorado is 49 I believe. See source for US Average below. Sorry I can't find the database where you can look up any county in the US.

My Dad is in a senior living facility in the area that is not warm hearth. There are a number in the NRV outside of WH. More old folks in Bburg then many people realize. Lots of people retire in the area. IMO there is very little chance for sports this fall in Bburg. As is articulated in this thread there is to much risk for the University. And unfortunately Bburg is an an area of the country with pretty low health care capacity.
