At Atlanta's Grady Hospital, all 100 beds in the intensive care unit were full. Then COVID-19 hit. Viral patients are now quarantined wherever the hospital finds space.
"The stress is not just capacity," Chief Medical Officer Dr. Robert Jansen told CBS News. "It's not just stress of supplies, but on the individuals taking care of the patients. Because so much is not known."
At all of Atlanta's four major hospitals, every ICU bed is taken.
"Just kinda deteriorated," said Justin Anthony, whose cousin is in one of those hospitals. "By Sunday, the fever had not broken and she started coughing.
His cousin, Emma, is 12, one of Georgia's youngest coronavirus patients. Emma's hooked to a ventilator at Atlanta's Children Hospital.
In Alabama, a newborn baby girl is in isolation after her nurse tested positive for COVID-19.
Back in Georgia, at one rural hospital, 12 COVID-19 patients have died. That's more than in thirty-eight states. The hospital is overwhelmed.
"They've asked for help, but we can't give it," Jansen said.

“Wu Flu Addicts”.
I’ll have to remember that one. Thanks!
They should be ashamed of their ghoulish behavior.
This is the story of the little boy who rang a bell in the city center. When asked why, he said to keep away the elephants. When told there are no elephants, he said, “See? It works!”
Except there were elephants IN EVERY other fricking country where nothing was done.
Hmm. All beds full before COVID-19?
Let's not talk about the flu, bro.
Well Yeah!!!
“Except there were elephants IN EVERY other fricking country where nothing was done.”
The elephants in this story are the “millions dead and dying”. Not their either.
We don’t see you calling for the country to be shutdown over the flu that kills tens of thousands every year.
Why now??
either way, the elephants are getting hosed in this thread.
This is the story of the little boy who rang a bell in the city center. When asked why, he said to keep away the elephants. When told there are no elephants, he said, “See? It works!”
This is the communist using this “crisis” to implement communism, to keep the elephant virus away by ringing the communist bell of handing everything over to the government.
Phase 1 was gaslighting the sheeple into thinking they will die without government intervention.
Phase 2 is control the people and shutdown of their businesses.
Phase 3 is government providing payment for business rents and payroll.
Phase 4 is the government simply stating that since the government already pays for everything that the government now owns the businesses.
Communism complete: Total control of the sheeple and a complete takeover of commerce.
The liberal States of Washington, Pennsylvania, California, Colorado, and New Jersey have implemented martial law, selecting which businesses must close and that the people must stay indoors. This isn’t a quarantine; this is martial law. Just because the communists are using the virus as an excuse doesn’t mean it is not martial law. When the government can tell you to stay home, implement curfews, and shut down businesses, it is martial law. Trump is in on this communist takeover. He is encouraging States to go into martial law and shut down businesses and lock everyone into their homes.
To get the people’s cooperation, the government is buying their cooperation. Each adult gets $1,000; $2,000 per couple but only if they make under $150k. Great, huh? Get taxed to give other people free money. Colorado is giving people a pass on parking tickets as though people can no longer seem to properly park.
Just as we were moving manufacturing back to America, the communists are closing those businesses making us rely on foreign imports again. Since Trump has surrounded himself with the communist healthcare workers, he is pushing the narrative and supporting “free” money which means both conservatives and liberals, alike, support him and this effort to take over the country by the communists.
We are past the tipping point. Americans are fully endorsing any and all measures. They actually want more closures. The drama queens are begging to have all their liberties taken away in the name of safety. They are begging for their businesses to close, thinking somehow Uncle Sugar will hand them money to live on instead of having to work.
For those of us not so stupid as to fall for this communism propaganda, we have the right to take on jobs and visit businesses of our own free will. This is the liberals taking away our right to choose.
The WHO estimates between 250,000 and 500,000 die worldwide from the flu. China had 81,000 infected of a population of 1.4 billion and have now lifted their quarantines and claim to have no new cases. South Korea with 8,600 cases likewise has seen a tremendous drop in new cases.
This virus so far is the typical flu level symptoms and treatment. Nothing to be taken lightly, but nothing to go and shut down the country for either.
Hillary only needs to wait until the July democrap convention to show up and say, “See? I told you Trump would screw things up! I’m here to save you from that idiot!” She has been preparing to enter the race (notice new face lift, makeup, hair, clothing), and she can win when 30+% of the country is unemployed, a million small businesses have been closed by government dictators, the people are living under martial law and cannot travel, and basic necessities are no longer found and people are wiping their butts with anything they can find.
Anyone feel stupid yet?
“Boston hospitals are doing fine. Nurses are wondering when the deluge will come.”
same in colorado ... hospitals are literally empty as all elective procedures were cancelled statewide ...
I just feel bad for the elephants.
Not me. I agree 100% with President Trump. There's no way he's "going along" or being fooled or doing what's politically expedient. In order to believe your theory requires believing that Donald Trump is in on this whole worldwide conspiracy you're promoting.
the population is over 700,000 in the midsized metro area in which I reside. 17 cases. 1 fatality.
yet we’re locked down tighter than adam schiff’s training bra. they outlawed happy hour last week. HAPPY HOUR. how freaking unamerican is that?
Better stick to the skanky bimbo threads Laz.
Yeah, just a flu. They told me that here every day and laughed at anyone who dared say this isn’t. (It ain’t even influenza.)
Someone should tell that 12 year old girl on a ventilator to stop faking.
It’s just a flu.

After the ninstop assult by the lame stream media I imagine the hypochondriacs are overwhelming the system. What are the odds of everybody in that area feeling sick at the exact same time? More horse manuer to cause more hysteria. Where are the piles of dead bodies and people mourning in the streets? Answer, no where because it is all phoney.
Can you name any of the pandemics (or even epidemics) of the past hundred years in which “nothing” was done? Then can you name a single outbreak in that same timeframe where the entire country has effectively been shut down before now?
*71 cases.
