“Health officials in Idaho said Tuesday that hospitals in parts of the state may soon get the green light to start rationing health care amid a sharp rise in covid-19 cases and lackluster coronavirus vaccination uptake, joining two other districts that activated crisis standards of care last week.
Covid-19 patients, most of them unvaccinated, are flooding Idaho hospitals, and as a result, the Panhandle and North Central health districts of Idaho said they would not be able to provide the same level of health care for patients who don’t have the virus in at least 10 hospitals as of Sept. 7 due to a shortage of staff and beds.”
Vaccinations work and must this country must wake up and do the right thing for the community as a whole. The fact that healthcare is being rationed should be a huge wake up call to everyone and the fact America could be losing the war with Covid. We have the tools to successfully wage war agains the virus but the arsenal remains half full of unclaimed vaccines doses. That has to change or this winter may be one of misery and sickness… much like last winter.
