Missouri hospital faces ventilator shortage amid virus hospitalization surge
NY Post ^ | 07/05/2021 | Kenneth Garger

A Missouri hospital ran out of ventilators over the Fourth of July weekend amid a surge in COVID-19 hospitalizations potentially caused by the spreading Delta variant.

Coronavirus hospital patients in Springfield — a city of over 160,000 people — jumped about 27 percent over the holiday weekend as the area grapples with low immunization rates.

The city’s two hospitals — CoxHealth and Mercy Springfield — were treating 213 COVID-19 patients as of Monday, up from 168 on Friday.

Back on May 24, the two hospitals were treating just 31 coronavirus patients.

From what I understand is there are thousands of them unused that were bought by the government for the last iteration of the PLANDEMIC.

I wonder if this is propaganda. And a ramp up for more cases because unvaccinated got together for the 4th of July. Masks and lockdowns again. If freaking biden even tries it.

How depressing is this. Now that the world is reopening, and huge numbers have been vaccinated, now we are told we need to fear this Delta variant. What crazy timing of these events. Now that fears of Covid 19 have been fading, suddenly we are told by Dr. Fauci and others that we need to worry about the Delta variant, and keep wearing a mask. What strange timing is this.

I doubt there would be a surge if early treatment was encouraged rather than discouraged and the medicines for such pretty much banned.

Also lockdowns and masking give the virus a chance to grow stronger and leave more vulnerable people exposed.

"...potentially caused by..."

Let's not let a shortage of facts stop us from jumping to a conclusion. After all, the need to cause panic in the ranks outweighs our responsibility to report the facts.

From what I understand, ventilators were the last resort and most people did better with just plain oxygen. Regardless, if you saw you were running out of ventilators...you couldn’t make a call?? Good grief!!

Not the people who have been vaccinated.
