“Covid hospitalizations in Colorado have increased 14 percent in the last two weeks. The state’s new daily cases have also increased 14 percent in two weeks, and recently reached their highest level since their peak in November 2020, according to a New York Times database.
Hospitals in Larimer County, where vaccine hesitancy is fueling a surge, are using 110 percent of their I.C.U. beds, according to the local health department. That has forced some patients to double up in rooms, and hospitals in the area are close to turning patients away to prioritize emergencies, Tom Gonzales, public health director for Larimer, told CBS Denver.”
Colorado is under siege from the Coronavirus with hospitals full of unvaccinated patients. This proves how elusive the Coronavirus can be and is all the more impetus to encourage and mandate vaccines. The nation was taking a sigh of relief as the Delta variant surge subsided then the Mountain West began experiencing a surge in cases that basically starts the cycle all over again. Vaccinations work and are the only way forward out of this pandemic.
