The state can absolutely crush businesses and people who defy this shite
And because there is $5 trillion in gov money floating around, people are pretty comfortable

A couple of things:
Why did Normal icu beds drop by 132 beds or 9% from now until then.
Also, it will drop given that elective surgeries have been stopped. The dip is not lower. Look at the number of Covid patients which is now 3 times from June 15.

If they are ICU for something completely different, and are asymptomaic, then I don’t believe they are supposed to be counted for that. I will admit I’m not 100 percent sure.
Asymptomatic or not, a positive test gets counted as Covid in the icu.

The State Gov just shutdown St Arnold’s and other open breweries because they started counting can/store sales against them vs the food sales at their tap room

I agree that should be the case, but I am not so sure it is. I feel like this is the reason all these stats very carefully say things like "ICU bed usage for patients with COVID" rather than saying "ICU bed usage for COVID related hospitalizations" or something similar.
I don't understand why people are shocked that hospitalizations went up once the state was opened back up. Totally disregarding COVID, hospitalizations were down during the stay-at-home months, both because elective procedures were prohibited, and because people weren't doing anything. Once life went back to normal, people were obviously going to fill the hospitals back up due to postponed medical procedures, increase in car accidents, work accidents, etc. Then take those people, and as a matter of policy, test all of them for COVID, and you create a separate subcategory that includes legitimate COVID hospitalizations as well as tangential ones. Obviously there is a medically relevant need to test everyone for COVID (isolation mostly), but the accounting and reporting of it can be used for all sorts of other purposes.
