That's good to know.

Mississippi has only 6 open ICU beds, Arkansas only 25 as delta variant fuels Covid surge

“We are at the cusp of this. We know that we aren't at the crest of this wave,” a Mississippi health care administrator warned.

Only six ICU beds for severely ill patients were available across all of Mississippi as of Wednesday morning, said Dr. Jonathan Wilson, chief administrative officer at the University of Mississippi Medical Center.

Only about 35 percent of the state’s population is fully vaccinated, according to state data.

Too bad hospitals scale ICU capacity to projected needs, otherwise they could be made to look like unprepared fools.

Hospitals all over the country have been laying off staff and keeping low numbers ever since the pandemic began. I unfortunately have been to the hospital 3 times during the pandemic (not covid related) and they were ghost towns. Hardly any patients or staff.

It is a staffing shortage of their own making for financial reasons during a pandemic. How the hell would a private for profit hospital not be making money during a global f'ing pandemic of which each covid positive patient nets you 30k in federal money in addition to the insurance/medicare/medicaide/self pay monies they normally get?

Is nonsense.

At least this is 2 1/2 states away from me.

Good, sounds like you wont have to worry about Mississippians flooding over into your state because all of their hospitals are filled with new COVID patients.
