Do you have a source for your claims? IHME (link) certainly doesn't support the your claim that Alabama is short on ICU beds, but their data is a few days old. I assume you have something more current, and I'd be interested in seeing it to learn about what's happening there.
Specifically Montgomery, might not be a state wide shortage.

It wasn’t as I can’t tell the future that well. But nonetheless, all the states that opened up early have seen spikes. Some states like Alabama can’t find icu beds now and are under emergency mode sending people hours away to different cities for help. It’s a bit too early to call this over bud.

SERIOUSLY? That article is two weeks old.
And only indicated that back then they were transferring some patients from Montgomery to Birmingham 60 miles away.
This is their ‘May surge’ for a four county region, all the way up to a running seven day average of 53 newly diagnosed patients a day With a one day surge to 92. Not ICU patients, TOTAL patients. Which you would sort of EXPECT them to find with all the increased testing.
I’m finding it sort of distasteful that people seem to be ‘cheering on’ alleged spikes of coronavirus in states whose governments are handling this different than those posters believe they should. And when those posts have no basis in reality it’s not only distasteful but deceitful.

Getting back on track...
267,742 yesterday
With rioting in many major cities probably about the best we could expect. Not a great day to go to the Mall, tour the Smithsonian, and view the cherry blossoms while inhaling tear gas...

It always takes an huge dump for Tuesday and Wednesday, but then blows up on Thursday and Friday, then back down on Saturday. It’s a predictable pattern that was only upended last weekend by the holiday so the week to week percentages this week are not so valid.

Basically, Alabama is doing pretty well. At least compared to the average of the US. Like everyone else, with more available testing they are finding more asymptomatic and minimally symptomatic cases. Like everywhere else, their fatal cases are Heavily weighted toward geriatrics with preexisting conditions.

Unless we see an uptick of rioters demanding air travel to get to prime rioting locations, then the answer is yes there will be a negative impact. There are protest and shootings right in the main strip in Las Vegas, so yes, prime travel locations are being directly impacted. Time to wake up, none of this is good for air travel.

Thanks for that - it's an interesting data point for Montgomery. The article is a few weeks old however (May 20) and given that the infection usually only lasts 2-3 weeks I'm wondering if the situation described by the article is still the case. Do you have any newer (last 3-5 days) sources of data?
