Your definition of "a few" must make you very popular with your servers!
The issue with oxygen in central Florida may have as much to do with transport as one poster pointed out as it has to do with overall demand. However, there is no question that hospital demand is up.

I believe we were talking about Orlando. not the entire state of Florida, but I'm sorry if you were offended that my use of "a "few dozen" minimized the actual number of Orlando Covid hospitalizations -- 454, as near as I can tell (ask google yourself -- the actual number is oddly difficult to locate). But you're right. 454 is actually 38 dozen.
However -- my point still stands. Even if all 454 patients are on oxygen (highly unlikely), common sense is still strained to the limit at the notion that their oxygen supply somehow threatens the water supply of a million people!
We live in a world where everyone in charge is lying to us, all the time. Our only defense in such a world is common sense. I just think if we all applied a little common sense, the liars would have a much harder time selling us their lies.
