The U.S. health care system is again buckling under the weight of a COVID-19 surge that has filled more than 100,000 hospital beds nationwide and forced some states to consider enacting "crisis standards of care" — a last resort plan for rationing medical care during a catastrophic event.
The idea is an alarming sign of how the delta variant has ripped through large swaths of the country — primarily sickening the unvaccinated and straining an already depleted health care workforce.
Many hospitals are "right on the edge"
if there is no BS going on with the numbers

ICU bed usage or availability is still much much better than it ever was at its peak around January
What good is beds when you have no nurses?

Only thing Im hearing here in California, is vaccinated young men with enlarged hearts going to emergency. Most of the stories in the news appear to be nonsense, like the story of people overdosing on ivermectin. Thats all BS. I think its mainly people who were injected with the toxic MRNA jabs are getting sick, just like the rats and other lab ferrets did in the lab tests.
