  • "But what about when you have dozens that coming in over the day? And it's not just the COVID-19 patients. It's the flu patients, it's the coughs and the cold symptoms that we're seeing every single day multiple times a day," Miller said. "When you first see them, what are you going to do with them? You can't put them all into that negative pressure room that the ER has." FierceHealthCare
