You d feel different if you were one of those people who got evicted or lost his job or didnt learn he she has cancer because of the restrictions. 

Maybe we should stay on topic and stop using our limited imagination. :huntyga:

Out of ALL Arizona  only 150 ICU beds remain. You talk a good show from your armchair. Hope you realize Arizona is a state not a town/city :)

So u change the subject? Why are you doing this all the time? :huntyga:

Do u realise that the total number of beds is 1600. You can read it in the article.So they still have 10% capacity. Read the article first the next time.

The subject is the crisis in ICU units regardless of whether it's Texas, Arizona, Florida or California etc.

Florida down to 145 ICU beds available which is nothing when Florida is racking up 10,000 virus cases a day.

Coronavirus: Florida adds 9,989 new cases as Miami-Dade and Monroe set single-day records

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida reported 9,989 new cases of COVID-19 on Wednesday morning and 48 new resident deaths. As part of that, both Miami-Dade and Monroe counties reported their highest single-day case increases since the start of the pandemic.

Beds are only part of the issue. You can fill a stadium with beds but you need the qualified health care workers to staff them. 

Florida asks government for additional medical staff

At a news conference Tuesday in Miami, DeSantis said he is directing nurses under contract with the state to work in South Florida while he waits for the federal government to respond to a request he made to Vice President Mike Pence for additional medical personnel.

Texas Covid-19 Surge Puts More Pressure On Healthcare Workers

There have been stories about how this surge is impacting healthcare resources and those resources include healthcare workers, many whom have been working around the clock to meet the demands of more patients and more hospitalizations and there are concerns of employee burn-out as things may worsen.  There is  now  a  group that represents Texas hospitals and they’re  asking people to provide emotional support to stressed out workers on the frontlines.

And the Miami mayor just reversed an order to close gyms and they want to open schools in August and Disney is about to reopen.

Gurl, Florida is a mess.

Stay on one topic man. I responded to your arizona comment and then u post about Florida, without mentioning that your Arizona comment was uninformed. And I'm being a nice guy when I say "uninformed". :selena:

U want me to check again for you what those articles are saying and what they arent? I'm not gonna do it. Think for yourself.

The subject is the crisis in ICU units regardless of whether it's Texas, Arizona, Florida or California etc. Do we need a separate thread about EVERY state experiencing an ICU bed crisis?   I guess you can only handle one thought process at a time. Some people are capable of multitasking. I'll try to slow down so you can keep up.  I posted about critical ICU beds wherever they may be.

Yea u posted and I've told you important information from the first article that you missed. :huntyga:

That's the problem if you dont get it. When someone points to you that you are wrong, that the "crisis" you posted about is not unusual for hospitals, u just continue to post about something else? That's multi tasking to you?

It's not my job to educate you about the situation in every state.  I showed you that the "crisis" in Arizona means 10% availability at this moment. But if you really want to learn, here are some advices :

1. Look for similar information in every state.

2. Read the information, not only the title. 

3. Use common sense. Ask yourself questions like "are hospitals usually empty?"

4. Find clear information about covid patients. Most patients in those ICU beds probably aren't covid patients.

5. Look where Florida, Texas or Arizona are on the charts of deaths. Take into account population. U will be surprised to see that these states in "crisis" are very far from the top. 

Hopefully this will help you get the information you are looking for.
