Have any of the waterparks or amusement parks been asked to cut back at all?
How much additional water does a waterproof need per day? I imagine they reuse as much as they possibly can.

It sounds like if people do not cut back, then they will do the reasonable thing and prioritize sending oxygen to the hospitals, accepting that this means people's tap water will start smelling sulfurous [EDIT: and maybe need boiling before drinking] > To reduce demand for liquid oxygen, OUC is asking water customers to immediately limit irrigating their lawns and landscapes. If OUC’s liquid oxygen supplies continue…

I, too, find the anti-science resistance to vaccines and masks exhausting and I sympathize with the frustration felt by many who recognize the pandemic doesn’t have to be this difficult but your (hopefully hyperbolic) calls for violence are inappropriate and frankly disgusting.
> hydrogen sulfide from water pumped in from the Lower Floridan Aquifer. Those who have not experienced Florida water do not recognize just how big a deal that is. The water is "potable", sure, but it's viciously stinky. Some people can't adapt to it at all. I've known people who lost livestock they imported, because it couldn't adapt to the water.

I'll make you a deal: if I get sick, I won't hospitalize myself, even if I need to, as long as you never execute the violence you called for. Deal?
However, there are those that have not gotten the vaccines because their doctors told them not to. What about those people?
The truth that most people forget is that hospitals are usually near their capacity all of the time anyway because empty beds are expensive with no profit. And as another comment stated, the problem is not that there isn't enough oxygen, but that there are not enough truckers to bring it in. Seems to me the biggest cause of the problem is a bad economy, not the unvaccinated.
You may disagree, but your calls for violence are not going to convince the unvaccinated that you have their best interests at heart.

Better yet, couldn’t you use electricity to break up some water molecules, so sulfide oxidation happens in situ? As an extra bonus, hydrogen fuel.
The actual chemical used in treatment here is ozone, not oxygen. Ozone is not stable enough to be transported any great distance, so it has to be made on-site, which involves zapping oxygen with electrical arcs. The oxygen feed must be a pure oxygen atmosphere, unless you want your ozone to be heavily contaminated with various nitrogen oxides. So you need pure oxygen in industrial quantities, which means shipping in…
The former is a thing. Some hospitals do on-site generation instead of trucking it in. If they’re extracting from air; seems like a waste of separated N2/argon/other gases, but the disintermediation might pay for it all.

But the problem with COVID is that its peak capacity wasn’t designed for that much draw and they had to move patients elsewhere. Not even sure if they can store in the liquid state or accept deliveries in liquid.
