Palm Beach county is currently at 19% remaining capacity same as Orange is at 23%, those are pretty much regular numbers. AZ is not drastic either the are sitting around 16% for ICU, with the vast majority not being Covid,w ith the nmumbers actually decreasing since Wed. Nothing rapid going on.
also here is Houston Texas medical system ICU capacity from yesterday , still below normal but worth monitoring, not a rapid rise panic mode. It is the same story with California as well.

Unpopular opinion alert but what are we supposed to do? Keep locked down? It's such a mess as it is. High unemployment. Mental unrest. Protests are still ongoing. Schools can't stay closed. All states are feeling pressure to open. Even NY. Fauci said another lockdown won't be necessary. I agree that masks/distancing are good ideas but rolling back on opening will be a disaster. We aren't promised a cure or a vaccine. Herd immunity is disrupted. Hiding from it doesn't feel like an option anymore. It seems like we need to focus on protecting those at highest risk. My husband has worked at a hospital this whole time. No coworkers have had the virus. We don't know of any cases personally. Caution seems to work. I think the right combination of opening with safety measures enforced is the only way through.

What we are seeing is a problem of non compliance. Yes I agree that the correct safety measures and enforcement is an answer, but people are ruining it for everyone else.No coworkers have had the virus. We don't know of any cases personally. Caution seems to work. I think the right combination of opening with safety measures enforced is the only way through.

Yes that article was from yesterday , click through in the article for the data that I mention from today.It is using the same data. Article also written for the dramatic, when the actual data is not.

I understand but this is also part of living in a free country. I'm in a very restricted state that has had low case counts. Masks can't be enforced here or anywhere. It comes down to making our own risk assessments. Whatever they are doing at grocery stores seems to be working well despite varying mask compliance. I think distancing and basic practical caution is as important as the masks.

Leaving it to individual choice is proving to not work when we're in the midst of a pandemic.

Do: Increased testing. Contact tracing. Bipartisan support for safety measures like social distancing and masks. Bridge funding for people and business who can't work or open at full capacity.Unpopular opinion alert but what are we supposed to do? Keep locked down? It's such a mess as it is. High unemployment.

Don't: Throw your hands up and pretend there is nothing you can do. Trade American lives for political points. Keep moving forward with reopening without regard for the results.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis pledges to keep state open, downplays rise in coronavirus cases
Gov. Ron DeSantis is going forward with Florida's plans to stay open as the state has seen an increase in new coronavirus cases in recent weeks.
www.usatoday.com
Not surprised at all by that , more of a media reaction, they have to play super safe, at the Apple stores that are open you have to get a temperature check and get asked a bunch of health questions just to enter and can only stay for 30 minutes. It was harder getting into the Apple store than a hospital.When Covid first started someone told me," look at what the major companies do to get an idea of the seriousness of it"

who are usually "in the know"
Also very notable is that some of the selected stores are in Florida

My (Fortune 500) company has 99% of us working from home and our public branches are still closed. We are lucky to have a business that can be mostly done online or by phone but we also see that we can't rush into things. Our leadership paused any office reopening discussion until the fall. Then they will start to talk about where we are again.

IF it is just a "media reaction," then why shouldn't major theme parks take the same steps?
Literally the policy in most states at the moment post-May 1st. "How quickly can we open while going slow enough that it seem like this is data-driven..."
