Dr. Dan Erickson on Empty Hospitals and Fear

Dr. Dan Erickson of Bakersfield, California, holds a press conference detailing the "evacuation" of the healthcare system as hospitals remain empty and staff are furloughed. He argues that the public's fear of COVID-19 is preventing people with heart disease and cancer from seeking necessary care. Erickson notes that while New York is busy, many other regions are seeing minimal hospital volume.
