[quote=Anonymous]Hogan is calling for more doctors and nurses to work in MD hospitals, students to earn credit hours working in hospitals, and graduating students to license early so they can get to work ASAP.
MD is facing a looming shortage of hospitals beds, doctors and nurses. The surge comes from rural areas like the eastern shore (Somerset) and western MD (Garrett and Allegany).

From WaPo -

"A Nov. 13 modeling estimate from Johns Hopkins Medicine — which accurately predicted 1,400 coronavirus patients in Maryland would be hospitalized by Thanksgiving — outlined four scenarios for the winter surge and its impact on the state’s health-care system.

Just one model, called the “optimistic scenario,” predicts the state will have enough beds. It calls that scenario, showing a peak of 5,000 people hospitalized with the coronavirus around February, “highly unlikely” based on the rapid ascent of cases now.

A “moderate scenario” model predicts a peak of more than 8,000 patients by February, and a “pessimistic” one predicts 10,000. Maryland has about 10,000 beds statewide for all patients, and as of Wednesday, about half were available for coronavirus patients.

The “catastrophic scenario” predicted “peak hospitalization levels of about 15,000 patients, assuming no further modifications of [the public’s] behavior.” "
