As of 3 weeks ago Missouri had to expand their hospital system explicitly for delta variants? https://apnews.com/article/health-coronavirus-pandemic-michael-brown-86ab629fa8d0e5f0463211646b1f8f0a https://apnews.com/article/health-coronavirus-pandemic-micha...
- TheAdamAndChe 5y agoExpansion of covid wards is not overload. Mortality rates aren't skyrocketing, and people aren't dying in the streets like we saw in Italy and China in the first weeks. Don't get me wrong, there has been an increase in cases and the R0 needs to be lowered. But draconian measures aren't necessarily required, as Greene County MO's recent infection rates have shown[1]. The R0 sits at below 0 now, and hospital case loads have stabilized.

- TheAdamAndChe 5y agoA typo on my comment above. I said the R0 was below zero, when I meant to say the R0 is below 1, meaning the number of cases should decline over time.
