shutdowns around here are predicated on availability of ICU beds.
I'm not sure y'all have many (if any) ICU beds ...I was just searching for an answer to that and found this:

Shana Crittenden said she first connected to Chris Jarman through music. He was a radio host at 98.1 The Max. She told FOX13 she’ll never forget what happened Tuesday morning.
“It just happened so quickly, like it would if you’re with a baby or toddler,” she said. “I heard him scream and the next thing I know he was laying down and we went straight into CPR.”
We’re told he suffered a heart attack. He was quickly taken to the local hospital in West Memphis, Arkansas.
“They didn’t have the tools or the equipment for the severe case that he had,” Crittenden said. “So there’s no ICU beds in the Mid-South. All the way down to Oxford, none.”

She said the closest available bed was 2 hours away in Batesville. There was no available transport by helicopter, so they had to drive.
