Here are excerpts from the full interview.

So our ICUs [at the hospital] are full. I mean, that is the bottom line. We have been full for several weeks. When other hospitals around the state call us for help, we're unable to take their patients. We've had to assist a number of times in having patients transferred actually out of state. We know this is not forever. We know that there is a term limit on our acute dealings with this virus in this pandemic. But it is unknown at this point. And so that adds to the fatigue and to the concern that I have for our staff.

It is very difficult because as a group of citizens, in Mississippi, there is a lot of value that is placed on the individual's ability to make decisions about their own life. The citizens in Mississippi very much value that freedom to make their own decisions and not be told what to do based on hot spots and based on numbers identified throughout the state. The governor is practically on a daily basisas we have an increase of cases in particular counties.

Now ask Mississippi’s hospitals what a normal amount of available ICU beds is. Surprise Surprise. . . It’s . . . About 18% on the low side but that’s a normal year without Covid

17% is actually high.

TheCBDiva

So what... is that supposed to scare me?

Almost 20% available, that’s a lot!

Why are there only 904 beds? The state has 3 million people.

How does that number compare to August of last year?

Hey, morons. ICU beds usually run around 90% capacity. You know why the count is lower? Because people with REAL MEDICAL CONDITIONS are staying away from hospitals. They are scared and dying at record numbers. The media should be ashamed. DefundNPR

Build field hospitals they won’t use like in New York.

This has been flagged as deceptive! It doesn't show the typical occupancy rate as a baseline

95 beds or so, for the whole state? Good god.

The state without quality medicalpersnnnel or research or smart healthcare!

17% availability is above average! Why do you try to scare people? Let me guess...

Yuuup!

I imagine most are minorities who completely disregarded social distancing.

That's normal

Don’t worry, we’ll all be number one by October 1st.

Why does she look like a real estate agent that just close the big deal here
