      Time to scale back testing.

      Only non-witches get due process.

        In Riverside County, California:

        But, it's not that the beds are filling, it's that there's no staff.

        Oh, well, that's totally different.

            Good question. Perhaps Governor "We Need More Ventilators" Cuomo knows?

            ETA: Never mind. Rachel Maddow will tell us that they'll never show up on time, so the question is moot.

              That would require DeSantis to admit he has a problem.

              I mean, besides too much testing.

              Only non-witches get due process.

                Miami-Dade ICUs at 90% but get this - yesterday's test positivity rate was 33%. Not a typo, and not a fluke. The 14-day positivity rage is 24%.

                  The data is troubling however people need to know that ICU capacity can be doubled without much effort. Also now that electives are going on again the vast majority of admissions are non COVID. This is not whataboutism but a full 360 degree view.

                          Real help doesn’t require a press release. Just send it.
