We have a health-care system that is designed to operate at near-full capacity in the ordinary course, so that we don't pay for facilities that we are not using. We can't handle a big surge in cases. Heart attacks and strokes and seizures and the like are going to continue, but there are only so many ICU beds and they are going to be full.
