I just looked at a number of enemedia stories...
Interestingly the story varies.
Zero ICU beds in the state. Zero ICU beds in some counties. Zero ICU beds in state’s top hospitals.
All this while the state’s hospitalization data is conveniently offline.
I say trust but verify.
If there’s a state legislator down there worthy of the description, get your staff to start calling hospitals statewide and demand an honest bed availability count.
Better yet, have them all report numbers to the legislature daily.
I smell a rat.
Your conspiracy in this case is misplaced, and foolish.
