Idaho hospitals are 'beyond constrained' by COVID-19. Gov. Little deploys National Guard
Idaho Statesman ^ | 8/31/2021 | Hayat Norimine

Idaho Gov. Brad Little described a "heartbreaking" scene at a St. Luke's intensive care unit he visited Monday evening---an ICU nearly filled with unvaccinated patients who contracted COVID-19. Two of them were pregnant, and the average age of the patients was 43, Little said. All were struggling to breathe, and health care workers are "exhausted."

Little on Tuesday announced he will deploy up to 150 National Guard members for short-staffed health care facilities. He also secured another 200 contract workers to be available to the state through a contract with U.S. General Services Administration, and a 20-person Department of Defense response team to be sent to North Idaho, where Little said there's the greatest need....

"I hope it'll be enough," Little said, to avoid crisis standards of care. But there's only one real solution, he added.

"We need more Idahoans to choose to receive the safe, effective COVID-19 vaccine," Little said, "It is our ticket out of the pandemic."...

The default lie for people writing these stories is to label all the patients in ICU as unvaccinated. BS. I want a precise count of vaxxed vs unvaxxed. The default lie is unacceptable and doesn't match reality in places with very high vaxx rates.

What if these “vaccines” are what’s causing this overload combined with the absurd shot mandates, that MOST HC systems are MANDATING of their employees, Gov??

How many do not speak English? biden brings in 1.5 million illegals, many with diseases. He sends them throughout the US nad then appears “surprised” that covid cases are rising.

By the way, EACH of that 1.5 million can bring in ALL their family members (turns out to be about 10-12 per person). That is 15-20 MILLION MORE than the 1.5 already here.

So please do not tell me Biden cares about covid.

There’s news to be uncovered there we know that the fully vaccinated Reverend Jesse Jackson was hospitalized in Chicago the other week.

In Israel someone said that 80 percent of patients hospitalized in one spot were unvaxxed in a story I glanced over today. That means 20 percent were vaccinated.

Well, when you don’t treat people until they are in critical condition, of course they are going to be really sick.

If they treated prophylactically, and at least TRIED, they might actually have some success and cut those numbers way back.

At the very worst, the treatment won’t work for a person, and so they are no worse off than if they had done the nothing at all the medical community is telling them.

What is missing from this propaganda is that all three health care systems in the state of Idaho decided, within hours of each other, to announce a vaccination mandate for it's employees knowing that the Idaho legislature was on recess and the potential for legislative action to stop this was in the works.

After that, staff has left causing shortages created by the hospitals themselves.

My wife works at one of these hospitals and they are currently having to board patients for extended periods of time from the emergency department as they do not have the staff. They are also offering an extra $25 per hour to get staff to work overtime.

I don't want to hear about the unvaccinated when the hospitals themselves contributed to these shortages.

COVID News and other news on the blog.

Big protest in Australia today at 79 locations and some others in New Zealand.

“Leaders” arrested one charged with “incitement” by a police officer.

That’s a lie about patients being unvaccinated. I’m guessing about 60% are vaccinated based on the general info I’m reading.

We got this sort of BS propaganda in Florida and our governor refuted it and invited the accusers to come and see for themselves.

That may be about right my friend but we need people to gather the info and honestly report it to the public.
