Idaho has already implemented crisis standards of care:

And is absolutely overwhelmed. It seems incredibly disingenuous to only consider some random state that's doing well and ignore those doing poorly.

Idaho doesn't seem to be in trouble based on the capacity dashboard.

Also, if you go back in look for headlines of hospitals being overwhelmed, you will see they exist for the flu for almost every year as well.

You should use the actual state's dashboard:

And Idaho is absolutely overwhelmed. In past flu seasons they have not moved to crisis standards of care, I don't even see Idaho in the article you linked so I'm not sure what relevance it has here. Are you claiming the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare is unaware of their own ICU utilization status?
