How are your states/region doing with covid? [View all]

In my part of Western PA the city I live in and the next town over are reporting no ICU beds and nursing shortage. Children's hospital was reported as closing wing due to staff shortage.
The city my mom lives in it was reported the votech superintendent was telling kids you don't need to wear mask and encouraging kids to get doctor notes saying they can't wear mask due to medical reasons.
My friend works at an office. The main section is a room with cubicles filling the room. She told me higher up was sending emails reminding people to wear your mask in the bathroom and moving around the room but in your "personal space" is cubicles you don't. The cubicles are in a huge room so if a person doesn't have a mask on at their desk their breaths/terms are being spread by the air system so only wearing a mask while walking in the room is a must point.

We are averaging 4000 cases a day..in the state
