Some hospitals have already started rationing care and "making choices." Pretending you don't know this is utterly shameless.

With COVID-19 cases appearing to increase in Kentucky, there is an upside: doctors are reporting a dramatic decline in hospitalizations from the virus.
Norton Healthcare Chief Medical Officer Dr. Steven Hester observed the trend in real-time.
https://www.wave3.com/2020/07/07/lou...ases-increase/
Intensive care unit and ventilator capacity [in Indiana] remain steady, with around 36% of ICU beds and around 84% of ventilators available.

But, of course, it's "doom and gloom" stories that the media wants to focus on. As the old newsroom saying goes, "If it bleeds, it leads."Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

ETA: Not to mention that up to this point deaths have been *declining*. So the standard of attribution, flawed as it might be, was showing your preferred result up until recently (i.e. 4-6 weeks after reopening). Why might that be?My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26
This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

Then, I see things like this....

That's one of Houston's big News Channels - Channel 2, and their own Click2Houston tracking, using the Southeast Texas Regional Advisory Council (SETRAC).
I've also seen the big headline stuff about ICU ROOMS OVERCROWDED, then the data source deleted.
