        <90% utilized. -- nm - MDH Nov 16, 09:14 2
        
        Then I would leave the mandate in place, for sure. Holiday surge is on the way. -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 09:17 1
        
        While this is the right course of action, it may not be the best course of action. - the wrong element Nov 16, 10:07
