innesota hospital leaders are warning in a full-page newspaper ad that they are “overwhelmed” amid a COVID-19 surge and are urging the public to take action.
“Our emergency departments are overfilled, and we have patients in every bed in our hospitals,” write the leaders of nine hospital systems in the state, including the Mayo Clinic and North Memorial Health.
The hospitals warn that because their capacity is strained, care for non-coronavirus medical events, like heart attacks, is also threatened.

It’s not just hospitals...
Make that: if I’d had something student health couldn’t fix.

MN doesn’t look maxed out to me...
More data here, and they don’t make it easy to find...

They’d have been better off had they fired everyone who’d issued the mandates rather than those who refused them!
Do you have reference re Mayos. All of them only 1,000?
Because you are UNDERSTAFFED due to stupid Vax mandates!!!!
Heck, they could be overwhelmed simply due to supply chain issues - unable to get anything from drugs to their laundry running short of detergent.
.........
It may not be vax mandate etc., hut health care heros who want to treat and save patients with every possible regimen; who are forced to literally do harm with limited treatments allowed/mandated by CEOs and bureaucrat deciders.
It is cruel and ugly in the medical system, with money and power as the primary motivator of Health Care leadership. It must be infuriating to be a doctor nurse or any type of healer to be forced to do harm.
Uh, apparently not, if they're willing to do harm in order to collect a paycheck. "Healer" . . . give me an effing break.
Sounds like the Army hospital that was set up in Red Hook, Brooklyn in 2020. It got dismantled and shipped out after handling 0 patients at a cost of $21 million.
Another was set up in the tennis center in Queens. That one had 79 patients and cost $19.8 million
Exactly the reason I’m hobbling around on a cane now.
I don’t trust ANYONE in the medical industry anymore!!!
At 77, it looks like I’ll have to live out my days as a cripple.
These F’n lies need to stop. The only problem these hospitals leftist propaganda.
Everything they state is a lie.
Bullshit
How many workers who aren’t vaccinated did they fire?
“Hospital leaders,” sadly, have lost credibility. All news items from hospitals will now be checked with others sources for reliability
There were similar videos of ‘overwhelmed’ hospitals in NYC during the peak of the pandemic in 2020.
I believe the phrase “ Let it burn” comes to mind.
those admitted aren’t being admitted because of reaction to what you call the ‘clot shot’. Doctors and nurses have either died from covid, gone private (contract nursing), or have left the profession on sabattical because they’re burned out on unnecessary deaths and on people treating the ICU like Burger King.. Prior to Oct 1, HEnnipen was at 96% vaccinated, Mayo at 85%, Childrens at 84%, Alina and Health Partners at 83% and Fairview at 80%. The majority of those not vaccinated in hospital settings are the lower level workers - aides, janitors, etc. For instance, over 90% of nursing home residents are vaccinated but only 25% of facilities by the end of September had a vaccination rate of 70% or better for their caregivers, leaving nursing home residents vulnerable on a daily basis to unvaccinated carriers.
Patients are admitted because they are unvaccinated, got infected (or an immunocompromised vaccinated was infected by an unvaccinated) and have plenty of micro and macro clots from covid. The ICU is not next to the ER, so walking into an empty ER is not an indication that the hospital has no patients.
according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, only one ICU patient at North Memorial is a vaccinated patient who is recovering; Alina and Sanford report 92% unvaccinated in their ICUs, St. Joseph at 100% unvaccinated in their ICU.
according to the MinnPost, in the Minnesota population, in the age group 65+, there are 10 hospital admissions per 100K for breakthrough vaccinated and 165 hospital admissions per 100K for unvaccinated. There are 2.7 deaths per 100K for breakthroughs and 39 deaths per 100K for unvaccinated. Of the breakthrough deaths over 90% had one or more underlying conditions.
The paper reports that the median age of deaths over the past 8 months is 82 for the vaccinated reinfected and age 69 for the unvaccinated, with the unvaccinated median age at admission is age 61 compared to vaccinated elderly at 73. Meaning the unvaccinated are dying 20 years prematurely compared to immunocompromised elderly.
Minnesota needs to set up monoclonal centers, fast.
I know quite a few people that used to work at some of those hospitals. They took early retirement because they refused to get the clot shot. I wouldn’t rely on the media links to tell you the truth.
so, you’re saying I shouldn’t rely on Minn newspapers ‘to tell you the truth’ but you’d encourage others to believe some internet pandemic profiteer? what’s wrong with this picture?
