Of course some areas will have more infections over others...shut them down if you want, not the entire country which is not necessary.Reading is your issue...follow the actual statistics and look at overall US hospital occupancy and ER bed occupancy rates. You cannot believe anything you read in the media. The critical case rate is down to 0.35% and mortality rate 1.7% and dropping. A mere 2.4% of the US is even infected currently.
That's your problem, you use nationwide averages to say there's no problem. This is a local issue, where local hospitals don't have any available beds, but one might be open in the next county, or the next state, or several states away.
Hospitals are creating emergency space by taking over gift shops, parking lots, and any other place they can put patients.
Some people have to wait longer for a hospital bed, than the voters of Georgia had to stand on line to vote.
