So you are the one being misleading, not the TMC group.

Why should they have to? So bars and restaurants can stay open?

Personally, even if you could import a bunch of doctors and nurses and pack the beds in a little tighter, I'm still not too psyched to end up in an ICU in a hospital because I can't breathe and might die. I think trying to increase capacity so we can continue to pretend we can live life as normal might be the wrong goal. I don't want to be part of that capacity.

So that's all you got? Why should they have to? How about so that they can handle all the cases coming in?

The case numbers and hospitalizations are down from last week. Were going in the right direction, but we cant celebrate yet. Still got a ways to go.

That's good. Something is better than nothing. At least we aren't as awful as Florida

Very true. It's like both him & the Georgia governor are like "hold my beer", let's see who can be more asinine. Total ****storm, pardon my French.
