Florida Gators Announce 25 New COVID-19 Positive Tests in Past Week

Are there individual facilities being stretched? Yes, a few. But nothing widespread or unmanageable. The linked story features Utah, which reported hospitals statewide at 73% of capacity one day before the linked story and has only seen an increase of a handful of current covid hospitalizations since then. From what I've found online, it looks like Utah has around 4,600 staffed beds, leaving an existing capacity over 1,000 beds. The point is hospital systems generally are not being overrun.
