Covid patients are in hospital rooms or in the ICU, not sitting in the lobby. When someone comes in with covid symptoms, they are separated quickly, not sent to the the common waiting room. Often they come in through the ambulance bays.
In addition, covid has caused a decline in other reasons why someone might be in the lobby. Hospitals are bringing fewer people in for outpatient visits, because they're doing things by telemedicine. Elective procedures are being delayed. People are choosing not to come to the ER with more minor things (e.g. before covid I took my kid to the ER for what turned out to be a minor fracture in his hand, I chose the ER so as not to miss school the next day. Today if my kid had the same symptoms, I'd wait and take him to the ortho). There are fewer visitors, etc . . .
So, yes the lobby is empty. That has nothing to do with the number of patients with covid in the hospital.
As someone who has been in the ER with a scared very sick loved one for whom covid would be devastating, I think this guy should receive some sort of severe punishment. I'm hesitant to suggest jail because he's clearly cavalier about the virus and jail would be an easy place for him to spread the virus.

What a freak. He's a COVID skeptic and tries to accost staff at local hospitals. His Twitter feed is full of videos of him trying to "find the COVID patients."
Half our country is losing their damn minds due to social media and access to unlimited information. I weep for society.

Why dont you ask the hospitals what their policies are for some who self-admits with COVID symptoms? They tell them to go home and quarantine- no one is being sent to the hospital JUST because they have a positive COVID test or a fever/loss of taste/smell. A COVID postiive test and symptoms means you are directed by your PCP or Urgent care doc to quarantine for 10-14 days. Only those REQUIRING INTERVENTION are admitted, they arent sitting in the ER waiting room.

You got an A+ for understanding my poorly written post. How in the world you understood that, I have no idea.
