I'm really not. 78% utilization is completely unsustainable when 20% of the utilization is from COVID and infection rates can easily double in the span of two weeks. 78% may have been the past utilization, however nowadays use of the ICU removing COVID patients is around 60%. So clearly there has been some level of denial of care. And even then we are close to the breaking point. I think you're not making the point you think you're making with that data. 78% utilization is a lot when a very significant part of that is from an infectious disease known to spiral out of control easily.
