    Most. Even in Florida. There’s a couple that are full, but they are at 80% capacity state wide in the ICU’s.

    There is NO way to excuse a POTUS for tweeting a doctored video...and he proves once again what a malignant POS he is.

    The title is misleading. Read the article.

    Misleading?...not sure why you'd say that.


    Florida had "1371 adult ICU spots available" when that was reported yesterday...and added 3207 new cases yesterday and already 3,822 more today...the math does not support your rosey outlook.

    The hospitals average about 80% of ICU capacity and they have the ability to ramp up available beds on short notice. They’re fine.

    Again. People aren't as dumb as you believe they are. Besides, EVERYONE knows what this is: it's idiocy.

    Following the murder of a man that sparked days and days of protests, a murder in which a man knelt upon another man's neck until he lost consciousness, for literally a piece of paper, Trump runs ads pretending that we live in harmony and it is actually the people that cover the news that are the problem. I see.

    CNN is exactly as dumb as I believe they are. The notion behind their tweet suggested misinformation. They weren’t commenting on the president’s bad taste like you are suggesting.

    Also the toilet is not gold. That's how I know this is not a real picture.

    No, they're not...sure, they have the ability to convert other beds but we went through this a couple of months ago...when other beds are converted, non-covid patients are either put on hold or told they cannot be admitted especially if it's elective surgery. Hospitals don't want another round of the carnage and lost revenue just because a self-absorbed and selfish few disregard safeguards and recommendations in lieu of unsafely congregating.


    It's galactically stupid and totally unnecessary...we reopened too soon, period.

    I'm unsure now of what you are saying.

    CNN didn't do anything here. Trump appears to have gone mad and has made a series of creepy ads; this being one of them.

    We were in good shape late February. How did that workout?

    They didn't address senior care centers, they most vulnerable. Plus they purposely weren't testing those with symptoms, asking to tuff it out & quarantine for 14 days. I think I a lot has been learned on all levels.
    In Oregon the positives, hospitalizations and death rate as a percentage are actually lower now. That's why the Gov doesnt do anything now. The last weekly report stated they think the symptoms are milder but I guess we will see.
    I thin Brown has done a decent job executing her plan.

    I know I've touched on this before but it really binds my cheese to know that at nearly every level, our government has failed and evidently crunched the numbers and came up with what they believe is an "acceptable" level of deaths from this virus...I assume they numbly view it as "collateral damage".

    They don't give 2 shits about us and they shrug it off as other people's relatives/friends die alone.

    We didn’t open soon enough in my opinion. The hospitals won’t be overwhelmed.
