At City of Greenville press conference urging people to wear masks, doctors are saying #COVID__19 in Upstate is "out of control." One Prisma health official says we're "dangerously close" to no ER beds, 8-10 wait times for test results.

It's pretty palpable how frustrated health officials are with lack of mask requirement in Greenville County. "There's a difference between rights and responsibilities."

If community does nothing, Upstate hospitals could reach capacity in a matter of 2 weeks, says Dr. Wendall James of Prisma Health. "This is totally in the control of the community."
