We were going to need all of these beds due to the outbreak, even with social distancing 2 million alone were going to die. South Carolina was a growing hot spot and it would need every bed it could get.From the article, Chester is a rural area, and it is laying off due to money problems as well. So what is your point? There are a lot of rural hospitals closing all over America.
It's almost like maybe a profit motive and ensuring that all Americans have access to healthcare aren't BFFs.
You know south carolina is a state and not a city. Are they suppose to ship sick patients from one part of south carolina to chester? Right now outbreaks are concentrated to urban areas. Gradually getting to the suburbs and rural areas as people travel. It's almost as if you don't know how viruses are spread. Like here in Georgia, the largest metropolitan areas are being hit pretty hard.We were going to need all of these beds due to the outbreak, even with social distancing 2 million alone were going to die.

im very “green” on an individual basis. Large solar and wind farms do not make sense as it just creates more infrastructure to take care. Encouraging individuals to install solar and wind at their house’s or business is where the focus of alternative energy should be
It’s almost like it’s really hard to predict exactly how that would play out with 50 different governors doing 50 different things on 50 different timetables.
I'm sure right now the smart meters now can only operate the main circuit coming in to your home.
But it would not be very hard for a utility to easily send SCADA signals to a smart meter or smart distribution panel to turn of individual circuits.
He did some helpful things, certainly. A lot was left up to the governors.
So is your contention that the inaccuracy of models after social distancing policies went into effect evidence that all of our epidemiological models have been worthless?Yea, so difficult when you have 41k hospitalizations on 04/05, then roll out your new projection that night, which then shows 98k projected hospitilizations for 4/06.
It was a governors issue.

I was simply using the term SCADA as an example. Sure, there are multiple ways of sending a signal to a remote device. My goodness, you are arguing minor details and overlooking the overall point that it would not be very hard at all to control individual devices in a residence with the technology available right now or in the very near future.SCADA is a antiquated system being phased out by most utility companies. It was used primarily for remote switching in the field on transmission circuits. as far as I know, it has never been used on distribution circuits. At least not in Chattanooga. EPB now uses PCR's (Pulse Circuit Reclosers) commonly referred to as smart switches operated off fiber optics to do much of their field switching. The smart meters can most defiantly sense load swings on individual hot legs coming to your house in almost real time. That is used to help troubleshooters in the field locate possible problems at a customer's home such as a burnt block in the meter center.
