The hospitals there have had more than a year to prepare for any surge.
Everything should be fine.
How exactly would a hospital prepare, over the past year, for another surge?
Do you think the available pool of nurses and docs has increased in the past year?
I am not saying anyone is overwhelmed at the moment, or that they will become so. But your comment made it sound like hospitals can just whip up more beds and more staff. It really indicates some fallacies out there.
Why would they prepare for a surge? The vaccine was supposed to wipe out covid
1. “Tampa General CEO John Couris said in general the vaccinated people that are getting hospitalized from the virus now were already immunosurpressed to begin with.”
2. “ North Broward Hospital District CEO Shane Strum said the more contagious delta variant is contributing to higher case numbers, but that the cases that they are seeing with the variant tend to be less severe are require shorter hospitalizations.”
Just as predicted, the virus is getting less deadly as it naturally mutates.
