I have been told on this forum, "don't worry - be happy". But, I can't because I do worry. I just had a good friend test positive because they recently came back to TV Land on an Airlines flight. That is NOT "pontification" that is Reality! Our country is overrun with conspiracy theories and misinformation about CV. It does NOT hurt anyone in The Villages for me to try to balance it with truth. WE DO have a serious problem!

Sorry incorrect again. The highest percentage ICU use in Rhode Island is in Kent County at 67% capacity. The other counties are under 50%. The typical operating capacity of ICU’s pre Covid was 70-75%. Kent County has a total of 15 ICU beds, 10 are occupied as of 12/10. There has been a surge of cases in Kent County, the fear is that they may fill those available 5 beds and run out of capacity.
