What bothers me is the contention that my rights are contingent upon reported capacity of already existing hospitals. If this is truly a concern, and our rights our primary, then we should be building more hospitals so that we no longer have to make this Faustian bargain.
It seems impractical and short-sighted to continue these measured based upon this single metric, especially when there are so many other ways to have a lasting impact on the problem.
Aside from that, I don't personally believe it's the purpose of the government to save lives at any cost. Even the Police won't give you that guarantee.
