I am wary of stories like this. What you’re saying is probably true true in specific cases in the most populous cities in the country, but I don’t think it’s a general policy that makes sense across the board. I live in South Carolina & their Department of health website has great data. As of today, there are currently 551 Covid patients hospitalized statewide. 1280 ICU beds are occupied for a 76% utilization rate. Of those beds, 150 are Covid patients. That means 88% of folks in ICU are non-covid related. https://scdhec.gov/covid19/covid-19-data/acute-hospital-bed-occupancy https://scdhec.gov/covid19/covid-19-data/acute-hospital-bed-... This data doesn’t exactly corroborate what your saying. The way you tell it, the ICUs are still overflowing with Covid, and they just aren’t. Not in SC at least. And we’re not exactly known for our stringent Covid restrictions.
