Does it really though? Most of the places people are coming to our area from have a higher ICU bed rate. The sense Ive gotten from most is that they like the idea of here because we have fewer restrictions. For instance, not all of our beaches are closed yet. No shelter in place order yet, etc. They are leaving places with several hundreds to thousands of ICU beds to go somewhere with 19 ICU beds.
And, frankly, the NE (where most of our part time residents are from) is likely to get much more supplemental help that we are in Nowheresville, NC. Odds are their bed count will increase and ours will stay at 19. There are homes that still have tarps of their roof from Hurricane Frances in September of 2018 if that gives a hint as to what our infrastructure can handle.
