Welcome to the Three Martini lunch.

Grab a stole next to Greg Carumbus of Radio America and Jim Garrity of National Review.

Three Martini's coming up.

So glad you're here.

Pull up your stool.

It is the Wednesday edition of the Three Martini lunch.

We have good, bad, and crazy Martini's for conservatives. And Jim Jim let's start with the good it's the lead item in your morning jolt today and that's that hospitals look to be in good shape at least for the moment in preparing for any influx of patients

coming in due to coronavirus. You do talk about in the piece as well that a couple of

weeks ago it was a very different story maybe even more recent than that in some places like New York and New Jersey and Detroit

But right now the cases in the hospital seem to be waning a little bit so New York's in better shape New Jersey New Orleans which had been a kind of a hot spot in in better shape

Detroit which had really been in tough straits so you mentioned piling up bodies in adjacent rooms because the morgue was closed for the night.

That wasn't good, but they're in a better shape now. And in places like Miami, which are starting to see things on the uptick are still relatively well situated.

So we don't know what the wave is going to end up looking like here,

whether there could be a resurgence in some areas, but right now the hardest hit areas seem to be doing better, and the areas that haven't

been hard hit still have pretty good capacity.

Yeah, you know, it turns out that if you give, for all, you know, we are not a perfect country we have our flaws we you know really did have

genuine concerns that are hospitals we're going to get overwhelmed and based on what we know now

and there'll be caveats and asterisks to come and particularly in our next martini.

We have we've gotten through it looks like the worst or at least the worst in most places and we have sufficient hospital capacity.

Now that was not necessarily the case and the horror stories coming out of New York City

were really, really bad.

Northern New Jersey similarly was probably the second most hit place.
