Few coronavirus cases, lots of land. Should northern Michigan reopen?

6. The only problem with that

Is there is a VERY small amount of hospital capacity I the event an outbreak happens.

The state classifies medical regions into 8 sections. Region 8 is the U.P. , and Region 7 is the western side from about traverse city, through Gaylord, and up to Cheboygan.

Region 7 had zero new cases yesterday, and region 8 Has had zero for three days! . But there are only about 50 ICU beds available In all of Region 7 and about 30 in Region 8.
In short, we’re ok, UNLESS there is a sudden surge.

Yes, we can reopen some of Michigan, but it MUST be slow amd methodical, and done carefully watching where the medical lines are, so that nothing is overwhelmed suddenly. ☣️
