The cases are hitting the young and middle aged. The oldsters (like me) are the ones doing the dying. And male deaths greatly outweighs female deaths (where's the EQUITY in that??).

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."...

Interestingly, the EVMS MATH+ Hospital Treatment Protocol for COVID-19 actually DOES recommend Ivermectin throughout all phases of the disease, right up to severe hypoxia and your deathbed:
21. Escalation of respiratory support (steps)
Try to avoid intubation if at all possible
Accept “permissive hypoxemia” (keep O2 Saturation > 84%); follow venous lactate and Central Venous O2 saturations (ScvO2) in patents with low arterial O2 saturation
N/C 1-6 L/min
High Flow Nasal canula (HFNC) up to 60-80 L/min
Trial of inhaled Flolan (epoprostenol)
Attempt proning (cooperative repositioning-proning)
Intubation ... by Expert intubator; Rapid sequence. No Bagging; Full PPE. Crash/emergency intubations should be avoided.
Volume protective ventilation; Lowest driving pressure and lowest PEEP as possible. Keep driving pressures < 15 cmH2O.
Moderate sedation to prevent self-extubation
Trial of inhaled Flolan (epoprostenol)
Prone positioning.
There is widespread concern that using High Flow Nasal Canula (HFNC) could increase the risk of viral transmission. There is however, no evidence to support this fear. HFNC is a better option for the patient and the health care system than intubation and mechanical ventilation. CPAP/BiPAP may be used in select patients, notably those with COPD exacerbation or heart failure.

Try Ivermectin at the first sign of symptoms.
So please do not tell me Biden cares about covid.
...or anything related to making and or keeping America great. It’s people that make that possible, and you know what he thinks about them as well by his fruits we know him.
How the Delta variant upends assumptions about the coronavirus
If you’re in the hospital and only had one shot you’re counted as unvaxxed. If you had two shots but were less than two weeks from the second shot you are counted as unvaxxed. If you had two shots but the second shot was more than three months ago you are counted as unvaxxed. Those are the rules the CDC uses to determine who is and who isn’t vaxxed in the hospital.
What would be crucial to know is what “Unvaxxed” really means. What is the precise clinical definition here they are using?
Individuals who acquired Covid-19 and recovered can also be “Unvaxxed”, and are held to be equivalent to those who have not been infected with the virus nor taken the vaccine?
In ither words we don’t know who is getting sick. Wouldn’t it be nice if there were a federal health agency that could test and track such things so people could make informed decisions. Oh well.
The cases are hitting the young and middle aged. The oldsters (like me) are the ones doing the dying. And male deaths greatly outweighs female deaths (where's the EQUITY in that??).

My daughter is an RN in a hospital. 10 covid cases on her floor, 2 were in for other reasons, didn’t know they even had it. One was elderly, in her 90s, the other 7 were vaccinated.
I won’t disagree with you that there’s much more to learn and we need to have open minds on this and not the mind numbed robot approach.
Idaho only has a couple hundred ICU beds in the state it appears. I can't really tell from the data they post.
They indicate beds available and number taken by confirmed or suspected covid. Haven't found total beds overall.
ICUs run at 80 to 90% all the time...
How many are there for something else but test positive for Covid?.
Sounds like they are saying get stab every 3 months. I’ve been
stabbed but the second one has been more that 3 months ago.
Patients are not counted as ‘vaccinated’ for 14 days after ‘vaccination’.
If a person receives the shot, and then develops ‘covid-19 symptoms or a positive covid-19 ‘’test’’ ‘, and is admitted to the hospital for ‘covid-19’ symptoms or a reaction to the ‘vaccination’, he or she is listed as ‘unvaccinated’.
Particularly since right after the ‘shot’, the viral load in the newly ‘vaccinated’ person is now up to “250x more than a merely ‘exposed’ person, this is an incredibly effective way to spread ‘covid-19’.
Circular lie. Very neatly done.
What is the endgame?
Lockdown and martial law enforced by National Guard.
Idaho, a Red state, becomes the test case for an American lockdown. a/la Australia.
Again, very neatly done.
Unless massive resistance immediately.
Your choice.
Gov. Little launches COVID-19 antibody treatment centers, directs relief funds to increase hospital capacityThree COVID-19 monoclonal antibody treatment facilities will be stood up in North Idaho, eastern Idaho, and the Treasure Valley. Monoclonal antibody treatment involves therapeutic medications that are proving to be effective in keeping people from getting severely ill and requiring hospitalization after contracting COVID-19. The centers will help preserve hospital bed capacity for the severely ill.
Specific information about the exact location of the treatment centers will be made available in the coming days. Additional treatment centers may be added later.
Patients visiting the treatment centers must have a referral from a doctor. The treatments are free.
“There are too many unvaccinated people in our hospitals right now. We need to reduce the number of COVID-19 hospitalizations so everyone else can continue to access healthcare for strokes, heart attacks, car accidents, and other emergencies. We need more Idahoans to choose to receive the vaccine. Receiving the COVID-19 vaccine is the most effective way to minimize the spread of the disease to the vulnerable. Receiving the COVID-19 vaccine is also the most effective way to minimize your own risk of hospitalization from the disease. In addition, the new COVID-19 antibody treatment centers should help preserve bed capacity by preventing hospitalization for some people who contract the disease,” Governor Little said.
North Idaho will be the priority, where vaccination rates are among the lowest in the state and where local hospitals are overwhelmed with unvaccinated COVID-19 patients, limiting healthcare access for everyone else.
The new antibody treatment centers come in addition to antibody treatments already provided by hundreds of private healthcare providers across Idaho.
Order Ivermectin for the whole State and see what happens
I tell that to people all the time.
Any hospital worth its salt runs its hospital at the highest occupancy rate that it can, reserving enough space for an influx. IIRC, 70-75% or below occupancy rate is undesirable.
When you realize there are a lot of people staffed RNs, Physicians, Respiratory Therapy, expensive equipment, and everything that goes along with that, you don’t want them idle. You want as many of them employed treating patients and the hospital getting paid for it.
You need to keep some head space, but...not too much.
Common sense is not permitted. You will be banned from Facebook and Twitter for posting this.
That’s an excellent point. Are they new arrivals? Are they even citizens? How many deaths.
IIRC, 70-75% or below occupancy rate is undesirable.
*************
What percentage does the Doc get to help keep the 70% number
in line? Hey doc we are running a little low. Sends us a
couple or so patients.
Doc gets a little extra as now he has a patient to go see each
day in his rounds...
Money has to be churned whether its services or goods.
