Meanwhile, the embattled USC head coach, Clay Helton, already on the hot seat, is somewhere dancing a jig to "Sweet Home Alabama."

How many of those are filled with CoVid patients? Facts matter.
And, just so you know ICU units are designed for 87% capacity on any random Tuesday.
Again facts matter.

True. But let’s say just 10% percent are COVID related. It doesn’t matter. If they are out of beds, they are out of beds. Which matters when someone gets in a car accident or has a stroke or someone elderly gets the virus and has to be admitted.

If you ask me it’s due to piss poor planning by Tate Reeves and the Mississippi health team. (I voted Tate) I would have had an emergency location set aside for COVID-19 overflow just Incase. The Mississippi coliseum, on the coast and in Jackson. Could have even had the one in Tunica also set up and ready to go just Incase of second waveS. Could have activated the national guard to run it.. if needed. Ventilators already in place ready to go.. just Incase. We are laying off nurses and doctors due to a halt again on surgeries. Would have plenty of staff to run it and pay them out the arse for doing it. Instead we are running around with our heads cut off and canceling fall sports for a virus that kills 1% because we don’t have hospital beds. Very poor planning

Serious question, if a hospital is "out of ICU beds" do you think those patients that need one are just left to die in the parking lot?
Hospitals are mandated by CMS to have contingency plans for these types of scenarios.
Stop buying into the media bullshite.

I don’t know . The fact that our state health officer Dobbs is worried concerns me . Piss poor planning , too many tough guys who won’t try to distance and at least slow it down are the facts that matters

TCU has Cal Sept. 5, so that could be done but more than likely the Big XII and SEC will eventually move to conference only. That is until the season gets cancelled completely, which is going to happen.

No way the SEC and ACC play a full schedule while their possible opponents in the playoff get double byes and much less wear and tear to get there. You're talking about 2 conferences that have continued to resist going to 9 conference games because of attrition.
The problem will be from the media and other power 5 conferences during the season is somehow the SEC and ACC don't pick up that 9th game on the schedule.

Probably won't be any playoff game.

I don’t trust the B1G and the PAC and never have with their morally superior attitude and condescension to the other conferences. Their illusion that their players are students first and that we in the SEC and ACC are a bunch of mouth breathing rednecks with semi-pro athletics who are serial cheaters doesn’t sit well with me. Maybe I’m being paranoid but I see their announcement the other day as a power play to wrest control back over college athletics from the southern conferences, a position they enjoyed up until the 80’s.
Their next move, if a college football season is played, will be to insist that the champions of the PAC, B1G, and Big 12 all deserve automatic bids to this year’s playoffs for playing 9 P5 opponents plus a championship game whereas the SEC and ACC only played an 8 +1 schedule unless some sort of arrangement is made between the 2 leagues to play a 9th P5 opponent.
Even the smaller conferences like the MAC said they were blindsided by the move and what happened to the spirit of cooperation? The B1G is only looking out for themselves and their toady, the PAC.

I think you are being paranoid. I don't think there is grand plan at work here here. Sans COVID, we would kicking off against USC. They would be showing up for the game.
I don't see how we can hold the playoffs? If they won't travel now I just don't see the situation being materially different in January.

Much less the far too many Bowl games at season's end. No attendance, no point.

Yep.
I've had to cancel elective cases because the ICU was full. Happens more than most non-medical field folks realize.
ETA: elective cases that needed to go to the ICU for the first night after the operation
