What an extraordinary statement. What do you base that completely invalid notion on?
Your thinking seems to be that the speeding runaway bus is still three feet away. "No reason to panic folks."
From the first link:
"Both Our Lady of Lourdes and Oschner Lafayette General say they are at max capacity in their ICUs." Any extra patients won't have a bed, and there appears to be another covid wave starting, driven by the Delta variant.
From the second:
"In a joint statement by Ascension Seton, Baylor Scott & White and St. David’s Healthcare, the hospitals noted, “The latest COVID-19 spike is putting extraordinary pressure on our hospitals, emergency departments and healthcare professionals, and it has further challenged hospital staffing due to a longstanding nursing shortage.”" Elsewhere the article says they are down to 16 empty ICU beds in an area serving 2.3 million people.
In the third:
"In July alone, 62 children came into the emergency room and tested positive with Covid-19, with 58 of them coming to the hospital in the past two weeks, Nicole Terry, the communications manager for Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System, said Friday. In comparison, only 18 children came to the emergency room with Covid-19 in all of June, Terry said." Got that? Eighteen children with covid in all of June, 58 in two weeks in July.
In the fourth:
“We don’t want anyone to avoid care,” Zoller said. “But really we have to have that message out there that this is a dangerous situation. Our hospitals are very full and so we need to control the virus the best we can.”
