Hospital are damn near designed to work "near capacity"
You know why Central Carolina Hospital in Sanford only has 137 beds?
Because it isn't New York Presbyterian.
Sanford doesn't "need" 2600 beds - but the 137 that they have - tend to stay about 60-80 full ALL OF THE TIME.
...its how hospitals are built.
If you build a hospital that consistently operates "below capacity" then that hospital is loosing money. Doctors dont work for free - doctoring is a "for profit" industry - never forget that.
...COVID is a shiny new penny that makes EVERYONE want to go to the hospital because Saint Fauci has scared them all to death.

"Justice Stephen Breyer said he found it “unbelievable” that it could be in the 'public interest' to put that
(large employer vaccine-or-testing) rule on hold. He said that on Thursday there were some 750,000 new cases in the country and that hospitals are full."
I read this after I saw Box's post today, and it put things in a whole new light. Of course hospitals are full! They're supposed to be if properly designed.
But no one in the Supreme Court sees it that way. Full hospitals are seen as a direct result of the pandemic when in fact they're an indicator that the budgeted number of beds and staff are pretty much spot on.
