As COVID-19 hospitalizations climb into uncharted territory, fueled by the highly contagious omicron variant, Maryland’s medical work force is increasingly diminished by illness and exposure, burnout and turnover.
Gov. Larry Hogan has responded with pleas for people to get vaccinated and boosted and wear masks to spare the hospitals. The state opened several testing sites near hospitals so people would stop flooding emergency rooms with nonemergencies.
Hogan’s also sending Maryland National Guard troops to hospitals to perform nonmedical tasks and relaxing guardrails on licenses for medical workers, particularly nurses.

MD ‘Freak State’ PING!
None of that makes a difference.
If I hear another word about Covid 19-84, I’m going to get unglued.
They have had TWO YEARS to expand capacity.
Are they lazy or just stupid?
So sick of this. All this whining from Hogan about vax in one of the most vaxxed states in the Union. Just how much is enough for these COVIDiots?
I’m right in the center of MD and still not sure what is meant by all these hystrionics.
What? Article is “not found” on Sun site now?
You forgot to add "being fired" to your little propaganda piece.
I wonder why that would be.
Bet the rate of medical mistakes is soaring...
Firing staff for not taking the shot has consequences.
Ain’t my propaganda piece. Just real-time reporting from The People’s Republic of Maryland.
Sorry to say this but C19 is going to be in the news so long as demoncrats are in power.
Currently half the reported hospitalization of CoVID are not related to the actual infection. Omicron has ushered in the truism that people are in with CoVID not of CoVID. This is the first time this has occurred in this pandemic (which is now an endemic).
Its over
This is just the shouting and the last gasp of the power hungry
Exactly. So many of these places initiated wholesale firings to intimidate staff into getting vaxxed, now they’re begging them to come back, vaxxed or not. AKA, cutting off one’s nose despite thy face.
F Maryland and everything that POS state stands for. Lived there for 30 years. Left in 2018... A shxt hole like every liberal state.
Lest we forget what 4 different doctors .. who knew fauci from the 90s,.. said about him and what he wanted to do..
To kill mankind...
Robert Kennedy Jr said the virus is man made.
We don’t know what thus virus is or what it does.. we csnt trust a single soul in the gov nor in and around this virus.
Neither can we know what is in the vax they are putting in the arms of those who have it done.
We are in a situation where we may be dammed any way we go... uncharted territory with those we cannot trust.
It’s in mice, rats, bats, lions, hippos, deer, etc...
It will mutate and circle the globe forever.
Nope, this whole thing is a crock of $hit... and likely has been from the start.
Yes, I agree its endemic
What is interesting to me is that it has mutated into something entirely livable. Time to stop testing. This panic testing fomented by Brandon is unbelievable. In my judgment, here is the line in the sand.
