Burn centers declining

Apparently there has been a steady decline in the number of burn centers in hospitals across the country.

They site terrorist scares as a reason for concern, as in, if a "nuc-u-lar" bomb went off in some city it would produce large quantities of burn victims, but there is just sufficient bed space available for the standard amount of burn victims we have now, and some states have no specific burn care available at all.

It's slightly concerning and at the same time smacks of hype, to me. I guess when I get burned I would take it pretty seriously though... :(
