Idaho hospitals begin rationing health care amid COVID surge

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Idaho public health leaders announced Tuesday that they activated “crisis standards of care” allowing health care rationing for the state's northern hospitals because there are more coronavirus patients than the institutions can handle.

The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare quietly enacted the move Monday and publicly announced it in a statement Tuesday morning — warning residents that they may not get the care they would normally expect if they need to be hospitalized.

A little on the alarmist side, at least from where I'm looking. At Kootenai General in Coeur d'Alene they've gone to "crisis standards of care" - details at link. Northern Idaho vaccination rate is about 40%, lower than the estimated national 53%, but inasmuch as many of these cases are the Delta strain there's no reliable way to translate that into any firm conclusions, since the actual efficacy of present vaccination against that strain is known to be incomplete.

What that actually looks like at present is 113 COVID-19 patients with 39 of those in critical care and 21 on ventilators. For any major city hospital that probably doesn't sound like much but for here it's a lot.

there is NO test for Delta and there is no reliable test for covid....

per a now retired Pfizer researcher and VP, a variant is extremely close to the original virus..like 99,3% close....

the people getting sick are the vaccinated....they took a false vax on the word of BIG pharma and BIG govt.....it mitigated their symptoms temporarily and offers sketchy protection that does not last.....

do you research an stop listening to the lying media.....

we should have let this virus run its course and we'd be done with it....

“ health care rationing for the state's northern hospitals”

Because there are no southern hospitals, or Wyoming hospitals, or Washington or Oregon hospitals, or Montana hospitals.........

Idaho has a 10% vaccination rate.

Idaho has a 55% vaccination rate over age 18 and 93% over age 65 (source: Mayo Clinic)...not sure where you're getting your numbers from.

This is, based on other fake stories lately, fake news.

~~~~

probably true. I read an article over the weekend the Gov was contemplating it.


IF true....how do YOU feel about this inane Gov, and Idaho hospitals, allowing this, new-to FR VP?

Maybe they are talking about Chicago. I think it’s elk season all year long there. 😀 Actually, it’s not a bit funny, but correct me if I am wrong. Doesn’t this stuff happen in mostly rat 🐀 run cities?

You are correct.

As well, there have been numerous articles blowing the whistle on the feds orders to tag all CV19 deaths as “Unvaccinated” if they died within 14 days of being “vax’d”.

The PCR test is still primary, and it is reported as no better than 10-20% accurate, which when looking at the CDC’s 2020 reveal, becomes hard to give it 10% accuracy.

The virus is real, but natural immunity has been placed with a spread of 13x to 27x stronger than any dangerous vax.

In reality, the vax plan appears to be more an attempt to spread the virus, and to create universal government dependency for a vax destroyed immune system.

CD4 and CD8 T-Cells have been clocked at a mere 10% of normal after the second “jab”. This creates total immune dependency.

AP forgot the line re “bodies are stacked high to the ceilings, and they are waiting on National Guard convoys to move the bodies out”.

no, its the disease.

Consider: Why did a veteran die because he couldnt get a hospital bed for gallbladder surgery? And why should a critical care, nonresponsive cancer patient have to wait 5 days for transfer to a cancer hospital?

“”Finally, Kakli got a yes from a Houston area cancer hospital that agreed to take in Araceli....”It shouldn’t take five days and four phone calls to make this happen,” he said/ “It’s sad that we’re all relieved and happy that we got a patient out after four days; that’s where the bar is right now, like we got them out eventually...”
