In Idaho, some hospitals are now rationing care and say they are running out of critical equipment, space and staff. Experts are closely tracking the new mu variant that is confirmed in 28 states.
Last week, Kentucky reported more than 30,000 new cases, according to Gov. Andy Beshear, a weekly record since the onset of the pandemic. “I would honestly say it's at least three times worse than what it was the first time,” nurse Kerri Eklund, from Baptist Health Hardin, in Elizabethtown, told ABC News. “We're seeing a lot of people getting really sick. There are patients that will come in and they'll be doing okay for a few days and then, in the blink of an eye, they go downhill.”
“I wasn't expecting this much of a surge again. In my opinion, it's worse than the previous ones,” Brock said. “The patients who are vaccinated are doing a lot better,” said Eklund. In fact, “patients who are vaccinated, most of the time don't even need oxygen, and they're just here because they have a few of the other complications and they're monitored. Most of the patients who end up going downhill, unfortunately, have not been vaccinated.”
The patients, “have been doing all they can and trying their hardest, and then they just get to the point that their body can't handle it anymore. And I think their minds start to break, because they've been giving it all and they're still not getting any better.”Medical professionals, whether doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants or respiratory therapists -- all are stretched so thin that many are experiencing exhaustion, compassion fatigue and burnout.
My daughter works at a hospital that was short staffed. The management mandated vaccines and 120 people quit! Now the national guard must fill the gaps!!
Which is why you get vaccinated. Yes, you can still get it, but it will keep you from filling up hospitals.
The world is not 'on fire'. Just stop.

Based on recent “news” coverage lately I’m guessing this is false. This is not my fault. It’s your false for reporting incorrect news. No one believes this stuff anymore — completely your own doing.
Ain't Kentucky Rand Paul's state ?
Hard to imagine anyone who reads this still refuses to get vaccinated. They must know by now of the death toll for unvaccinated.

Send all unvaccinated home....and drop unvaccinated from medical and life insurance. If the unvaccinated have rights so do other people and private companies.
