5. With a population of 3M, that's 13 current ICU cases per 100K.

I was just looking at the CA website and we've got 829 current ICU cases today, but with a population of 39.5M, that's 2.1 per 100K.

6+ times as many ICU patients per capita (and I'm sure CA isn't even the biggest contrast, it's just the one I happen to know at the moment). So much unnecessary suffering, so wasteful.
