[quote=legalsea;58345219]Read the articles. The criteria is the number of available hospital beds, including ICU beds and ventilators. Arizona is getting dangerously close to capacity, as is the city of Houston.
I can't get the link to work for me. But, the original link in the original post says this;
At its peak, Arizona's intensive care unit beds were 78% in use. As of Monday, 76% were occupied. Arizona's Director of Health Services Dr. Cara Christ asked that hospitals "be judicious" in elective surgeries to ensure bed capacity.
So...at the peak of the pandemic, Arizona's ICU beds were 78% in use. Not all of them were COVID related though. People have heart attacks, strokes, etc. No, I don't know the numbers.
Currently, Arizona is at 76%. Again...not all will be COVID related.
Arizona will do as before...curb elective surgeries.

At the peak of use (meaning the highest number), not the peak of the pandemic. It looks like they are still getting to their peak of cases, which we won't know until the numbers go down for around a week or so.

So you want the govt to shoot protesters of all kinds, those protesting unnecessary cop violence AND those nut jobs with guns in Michigan and other places wanting to "OPEN UP NOW"??? Wait I thought those nutjobs protesting fully armed were just practicing their civil rights???
Shooting both groups and putting them in mass grave would be only way to stop spread. Prisons and jails are hotbeds of covid19. So putting them in jail just as bad. If they didnt get covid19 marching shoulder to shoulder and yelling OUTDOORS, they sure would IN A CONFINED SPACE with inadequate ventilation. And most buildings have inadequate ventilation to handle large groups people herded together. You know like the upcoming MASA rally, MAKE AMERICA SICK AGAIN! Way to lead by example!!!! Kinda like the media that used to follow around holier than thou preachers and catch them in a no-tell motel with local lady of the night. Though this guy doesnt even try to hide what he is doing or not doing.
You remember those other "protesters" dont you?
Yes I remember those protesters that liberals and the media went crazy over, and called them grandma
Killers. Yet we have these protests of thousands of people, and liberals and the media defend them. Funny isn’t it?
What people don't realize, is that it is not the immediate issues with Covid-19, but the after effects, which WILL shorten lives. Heart failure, kidney failure and other organ issues have already been identified. Young people will die short years after being infected.
The death rate resulting from Covid will be far higher than that actually attributed to it.
That is the truly scary part about this disease. Even if you survive it, you may be disabled for the rest of your life.

Which health "experts" were endorsing protests? Please provide proof - or it didn't happen.

Where do you keep getting that Florida's population is 6 million? Are you incapable of using a search engine, which will inform you that Florida's population is 21.48 million? What else are you wrong about?

You're right. COVID-19 is even less of a threat than I pointed out. Thank you!
