Even with the hospitals that are over capacity they'll just open up another. They might keep you in the emergency room. They might open up another wing or something. It will impact other stuff. But the other hospitals that are not impacted probably you could still go there. So there's at least some flexibility. So definitely the ICU beds are a problem. But what we don't get is reporting on how much capability hospitals have to handle surges. If you're looking at one of the other benefits of the pandemic is that we learned how to handle surges. Think about it. Every major hospital in every city probably, I'm guessing by now, has a pretty detailed plan of what it looks like to have to surge your ICU capacity up by 30 or something.
