I don't think we can do anything about that now but hunkering down through the fall would just about cost a lot of small companies their business for good and it will be a disaster on top of another. I don't know where you got that number of hospitals overwhelmed from but that is way off from what i can tell. I am aware of two medium to bigger hospital systems in and around Atlanta(NGHS and Emory) that had to add extra beds for treating the patients that were admitted for COVID-19. Both my neighbors are doctors that share duties between those systems in emergency care.

I absolutely reject the idea that the POTUS has or should have the authority to lock our nation down. I certainly don't want the current occupier of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave to have that authority, but truthfully, I don't think I'd be comfortable with any President having it.

There is a big difference between "adding extra beds" which many, many hospitals have the capacity to do, and hitting capacity.
