And tell me how many empty hospital and ICU beds there are

I think farming communities is code for illegals.

And why no mention of correctional facilities/jails? Those might be good for a lot of the increase.

“And tell me how many empty hospital and ICU beds there are”

Here are some stats from Illinois. ICU beds in use range from ~ 40% downstate to 60% around Chicago. If you look at the graphs near the bottom of webpage, ICU and ventilator usage have been in steady decline by Covid 19 patients since early May.

On Tuesday, there were 678 COVID-19 patients across the state’s hospitals, 73 of whom were admitted on Tuesday, Williamson said, the largest number of admissions in a single day since the pandemic began.

Of the state’s 1,600 available ICU beds, on Tuesday morning, just 268 were available, the lowest since the COVID-19 crisis began.

“This morning we theoretically had three ICU beds in the Montgomery region,” Williamson said. The Tuscaloosa area had a single ICU bed available Tuesday morning.

The 7-day rolling average of the percent of tests that are positive statewide in Alabama doubled within the last two weeks, from 7 percent to nearly 14 percent.
