Nevada County is a particularly good example here of one of the failings of a county-by-county approach because Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital there isn't really equipped to deal with a large number of critical care patients, and neither are many other rural counties. It would take far fewer cases to incapacitate Nevada County's health care infrastructure than Placer County or others to the west.
- swsieber 7y ago> because Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital there isn't really equipped to deal with a large number of critical care patients That makes me think its sterling example of why we need a county-by-county. Don't just base it on infection levels though, as you pointed out. Include hospital support, ppe levels, interconnectedness, etc.
