[QUOTE="donner, post: 3385864, member: 277"] not yet, but that is somewhat of the point. Cases keep going up and likely hospital needs will, as well. Hospitals may shift priorities (like many did before) and limit some surgeries, but that will cost them money. Will they be willing to do it again? Could something be done now to prevent those needs from happening? We are in the midst of an outbreak here in my town because some frats had some lovely rush parties and a bunch of students got sick. Now, a good number of the cases don't show up in our reports from the state because the students aren't residents of this county. The city has begun gathering its own information and one of the stats shared the other night is that before this outbreak we were seeing 1-2 % of the patients in our hospital with covid. We are now at 10% and our ICU (which normally is at 50% capacity) is up to 75%. But this hospital also serves several other surrounding communities since MS has had several close in recent years. Sadly, many of those places aren't requiring masks and we have a number of people here (if you believe what they say on social media) who prefer to drive to those places to shop mask-free.) [/QUOTE]
