That's why I said "in most places".

And that article is from December.

The link you sent doesn't have these numbers, but many metro Atlanta hospital systems are still diverting patients from their emergency rooms (because they are full). There is currently an operational field hospital being run at the convention center. The field hospital was still operational as low the weekend.

You can see ER status by hospital here: https://georgiarcc.org . Flip through the counties where most people live and you'll see a lot of full ERs.

You should choose another region to support your argument, it's not going so well here in Georgia right now.

In order for "most places" find a state that is close to their ordinary vacancy rates of 30%.
Why? How is that relevant?
From December 22nd, for a hospital to be ready in 7 days.
