It sounds like if people do not cut back, then they will do the reasonable thing and prioritize sending oxygen to the hospitals, accepting that this means people's tap water will start smelling sulfurous [EDIT: and maybe need boiling before drinking] > To reduce demand for liquid oxygen, OUC is asking water customers to immediately limit irrigating their lawns and landscapes. If OUC’s liquid oxygen supplies continue to be depleted and water usage isn’t reduced, water quality may be impacted. -- https://www.ouc.com/water-info https://www.ouc.com/water-info

not precisely-- while the ozone they produce from liquid oxygen does serve the purpose of making the water more palatable, it serves a higher purpose as their primary disinfectant. the faq in the link you provided states that OUD doesn't have the capacity to sufficiently disinfect water using chlorine alone if people do not cut back, Orlando will have to issue a boil-water notice

  If people aren't aware of the notification will the water quality decrease be followed by an increase in hospitalizations?

>> then they will do the reasonable thing and prioritize sending oxygen to the hospitals Better idea: Declare open season on vaccine disbelievers. Issue hunting permits and dart guns. Google and Facebook can help. Anyone posting anti-vaccine rants will have their location added to the hunting ap. With the number of hunters in Florida the problem could be solved by the end of the week. Seriously, this is gone far enough. We have a government talking about cutting back on water because hospitals are overwhelmed with the unvaccinated. Two of the greatest public health revolutions, modern hospitals and clean water, are now fighting each other for resources.

  I, too, find the anti-science resistance to vaccines and masks exhausting and I sympathize with the frustration felt by many who recognize the pandemic doesn’t have to be this difficult but your (hopefully hyperbolic) calls for violence are inappropriate and frankly disgusting.

    No more violent than any other law mandating jail time, which is a form of sever violence. Anyone not wanting to be hunted would either stay at home or get vaccinated. Canada is mandating covid vaccines in various ways. Florida can too. US constitutional protections are rather limited when it comes to pandemics and quarantines.

  I am one of the unvaccinated. My decision was based on possible effects to myself from the vaccine versus how dangerous the vaccine was to me. [1] I'll make you a deal: if I get sick, I won't hospitalize myself, even if I need to, as long as you never execute the violence you called for. Deal? However, there are those that have not gotten the vaccines because their doctors told them not to. What about those people? The truth that most people forget is that hospitals are usually near their capacity all of the time anyway because empty beds are expensive with no profit. And as another comment stated, the problem is not that there isn't enough oxygen, but that there are not enough truckers to bring it in. Seems to me the biggest cause of the problem is a bad economy, not the unvaccinated. You may disagree, but your calls for violence are not going to convince the unvaccinated that you have their best interests at heart.
