Maryland hospitals are battening down the hatches and looking everywhere they can for the extra staff needed to respond to the ongoing surge of coronavirus cases in the state. The one thing they’re not doing, Bob Atlas said, is panicking. “The pressure is definitely there. It’s being felt,” Atlas, the president and CEO of the Maryland Hospital Association said. “Nobody is panicking, but the concerns are very real – especially for the frontline workers who have to deal with all the patients, no matter what condition they’re in.”
