Has your ED census been insane this last week?

It seems as though the census in my ED (Chicago) has been double if not triple the usual for the past week. Of course some of it is URI and GI bs like the usual, but some of these folks have been SICK. It's not your typical holiday time, someone's actually coming to see you run of the mill complaints either.

I walked CSF to lab last night and the guy said to me "What is going on down there? We've made census all week because of you guys."
