But the Utah reports were bad on that front, as is El Paso. We may see other locales with similar capacity issues, though it's possible we will not. In all events, that should be the driver, and I agree that as you approach real capacity constraints (not theoretical ones), then it's time to pull back/tighten the restrictions.
Meanwhile, SCC remains ridiculously well positioned on the hospital front, as it has throughout all the "surges" and case "explosions."

(And I say ridiculous because our "Dear Bureaucrat" seems to think those numbers are meaningless).

Lots of capacity left (even 37 is a drop in the bucket compared to the number of hospital beds at just UCSF), but still not a good trend.

If Nebraska cmes in with at least half of their number yesterday, it will put the total over 100K. Nebraska usually gets posted just before 6 pm pacific time.
It did, in fact, cross 100,000 in Worldometer.
