Shelby County doctors concede surge capacity likely will be needed at area hospitals
https://www.localmemphis.com/mobile/article/news/local/shelby-county-doctors-concede-surge-capacity-likely-will-be-needed-at-area-hospitals/522-1aab0621-9a5b-4688-981c-ffd3cca46e1fMEMPHIS, Tenn. — Shelby County health experts are especially mindful these days about available hospital and ICU beds.

Themain concern here seems to be staff - competing with other stupid states that just couldn't stay home or wear masks.
