Those on the beach look spread out in family groups plus they are outdoors. A picture inside a full restaurant or bar would have better gotten the message across. 

Not if you are trying to scare people from leaving their houses altogether.

Texas hits new highs in new cases and hospitalizations.

 

 

 

 

I dont have any pics.  Just close your eyes and picture a crowded table at a bbq joint or something...

This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Here we go. I think this is appropriate art for the story:

They are nowhere near running out of hospital space for sick people.. and deaths remain in check. This is just fear porn.

And if they do run out of hospital space, what will you say then?

To be fair, i doubt that occurs.

 

Of course, given the sheer size of the state, a lot of those beds are nowhere near the places the cases are occuring.

they won't. If they do it'll be really, really old sick people whose time it is to pass on. Just like most people that have died from this virus.

Will they turn them into crackers?

I get it, these are sick, old people who were going to die in the next few years anyway. The problem is when it’s accelerated like this and they all die at once, our healthcare infrastructure can’t handle it. Lockdowns were supposed to give our system more time to prepare for the increased volume of hospitalized/ICU patients. If there was no lockdown the entire country would have looked like NYC all at the same time. High population areas that didn’t use the time to prepare are going to look like Italy/Spain/NYC. If high population areas run out of hospital beds because the old, sick people are taking them all up, what happens to the young healthy people who get into a car accident and can’t be treated quickly because there is nowhere to treat them? 
 

We’re likely about to see how it plays out in Arizona because they are at about 80% capacity right now. 
 

We need to be having these conversations because we can’t just lock everyone in their houses, but we also can’t do nothing. You seem like you don’t want to move off the do nothing hill no matter the fatality rate. Would it make a difference if the sick, old people start piling up and die in the waiting rooms or at home because the beds were already taken? How close to the 2 million deaths prediction do we need to get before you come off your hill and meet anyone half way? Or is it ok because they were going to die anyway, so it might as well be now?

The Arizona situation will be telling for sure.

We've seen a huge amount of positive cases here in Florida over the past few days. ..check any news feed. But, according to our experts,  the hospitalization is very low..meaning we have lots of empty beds.

Covid hasn't gone away despite our clicking of heels and wishing.
