One hospital in northern Idaho, Kootenai Health, has been so overwhelmed with COVID-19 cases that the hospital stopped non-emergency surgeries, declined hundreds of transfer patients from other hospitals in recent months and converted a conference room to patient care after running out of bed space.— in different ways, but the idea is to give health care professionals guidance on which patients to prioritize as well as provide legal protection as they make such tough choices.

Idaho hospitals begin rationing health care amid COVID surgeIdaho public health leaders announced Tuesday that they activated “crisis standards of care” allowing health care rationing for the state's northern hospitals because there are more coronavirus patients than the institutions can handle. The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare quietly enacted the move Monday and publicly announced it in a statement Tuesday morning — warning residents that they may not get the care they would normally expect if they need to be hospitalized. The move came as the state's confirmed coronavirus cases skyrocketed in recent weeks. Treatment should go to the children and vaccinated first and those that refused a vaccine endangering everyone that comes into contact with them last. In Idaho? Think about that.

Idaho has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the U.S. CDC: “Fully vaccinated people with Delta variant breakthrough infections can spread the virus to others.” Meh. Kick the unvaccinated out. Problem solved. They can take horse dewormer & all will be well.

Spanish-language Covid disinformation is aimed at Latinos as delta surgesOn a recent show on Actualidad, a Miami AM radio station, the host was promoting a false cure for Covid-19: the use of ivermectin, a drug used to deworm animals. Get your obesity vaccine people! Is that all Ivermectin is used for? Keep it up Yahoo. This shit is only making more people question the narrative. Debunked for quite a while already - Yahoo should update this info and remove this tweet as falsely claiming misleading propaganda, whether it is following a narrative or not.

Alabama nurses coping with Covid stresses seek better pay in protestAlabama nurses earn on average 8 percent less than nurses in neighboring states, said Lindsey Harris, president of the Alabama State Nurses Association. Biden ignores pay equity and decent wage for frontline workers. Well crap, the McDonald's and Wendy's is hiring down the street if you don't want to work! You'd think all nurses would've gotten a huge raise after all they've done.

Black, Hispanic students disproportionately face challenges as schools reopen amid COVID-19Black, Hispanic students disproportionately face challenges as schools reopen amid COVID-19. So its the white man's fault that white families had computers at home. That has nothing to do with race but a culture characteristics if true. Maybe black and Hispanic parents don't want their children's brains to rot because of technology. Go back to books. Has nearly always been the case.
