Hospital capacity. That's it. But right now Drs and hospitals are filling up with elective surgeries that have been postponed for months. I get they have to make money, but we need to keep open beds to be able to handle surges. As long as that's happening, you can remain open. All the other BS being thrown around to "support a side" is stupid and counterproductive. WE ALL HAVE THE SAME GOAL: stay open and stay alive. If we keep Hospital capacity under control, we can effectively treat it and manage the pandemic. If we don't, we can't. It's that freaking simple and somehow everyone still gets caught up in politicking with the numbers.
The case numbers provide you a warning. Dobbs said over the weekend that for every day you see 1000 new cases in Mississippi that means you will see about 170 of them in the hospital over the next couple of weeks. We can't sustain that level long.
