Those will fill up quick which = a higher death rate.

re: 2.5 million US deaths from corona-virus

Then why is China with a population what 5 or 6 times larger than the US and with much less advanced and widespread medical profession NOT seeing those kind of death rates and the virus is in decline there?

China has had around 3400 deaths in a country of well over a billion people....and the virus is on decline in China.
