Two Maryland hospitals declared a healthcare “disaster” on Friday as COVID-19 cases continue to rise at the Old Line State facilities.
The University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Health system made the “disaster” announcements for the Upper Chesapeake Medical Center in Bel Air and the Harford Memorial Hospital in Havre de Grace, according to The Washington Post.

Interesting it looks like the Northeast is driving the case load counts up. NY, Michigan,Mass, ect. All those states with the tightest restrictions. Doesn’t seem it’s working.
people don't realize that hospitals can not accept patients if they have no staff so I suppose if they have limited staff they have to declare an emergency, but they won't admit that.
“All those states with the tightest restrictions. Doesn’t seem it’s working.”
It seems even less likely that restrictive policies will be effective in constraining the spread of Omicron, then they were against prior strains of COVID.
It is going to have its run, and soon.
The ones that lie to you, tell you not to treat Covid until you can’t breathe and your lips are turning blue, then the ones who apply the protocol of the useless poison Remdesivir to either outright kill you or damage your liver or kidneys, and vent people with damaged lungs knowing it’s going to kill them?
Those “medical professionals”?
Good luck with that.
Yes they do and they are lying now. Their BS story would not hold up to even the slightest level of objective scrutiny. This has been proven every single time these stories have been investigated. No one with even the slightest bit of common sense believes a single word of this propaganda.
Exactly right. My hospital ran off our good nurses rather than pay them for their hard work during the early pandemic. The nurses went traveling and my hospital had to pay a premium for contract travelers to replace them. Why didn't they just pay our nurses better in the first place?
In the meantime we had fresh graduate contract nurses overwhelmed with the workload who sometimes would throw up their hands and quit. We became perpetually understaffed to the point that although we are a 510 bed hospital, we were at full capacity when we hit 425 patients. Why? Nobody to staff the beds
Our ED had a whole quadrant of our beds taken from us and used to house inpatients. There were times I went to that team and there was only one nurse for 15 beds. Intubated, airborne isolation covid patients were in a room with the door WIDE OPEN because there wasn't enough staff to keep a close watch on the patient. Another time we had a Baker Act covid patient in another room with the door WIDE OPEN. Two of our long time loyal and dedicated coworkers, one nurse and one HUC caught covid both had been vaccinated and died due to the bullshit stunts our money-hungry idiot administrators pulled.
And then they tell us we HAVE TO GET the jab or be fired?! Screw that! I just spent nearly 2 years caring for covid patients, often without proper PPE available and infection control measures nonexistent, and I haven't gotten covid. So, no, I won't be getting the jab, f*ck you very much. I got fired for refusing. I'm fine with that. Money is really tight for me now, but I've made my peace with that too. I refuse to live in fear. I know nowhere will hire someone my age and with my quarter century plus experience without demanding I get the jab. I will bow to no human, so it looks like my only option will be to go on social security two and a half years before I reach full retirement age.
I have been on high dose vitamin D for nearly 20 years due to a history of cancer, and I'm convinced that it is why I never got covid.
/rant:off
Youre assuming everyone in ICU has covid.
Exactly who is stupid? The people who believe those numbers or the people who don't get the experimental jab?
All survived. Various levels of sickness. Various ages. 16-63. Various states of vaxxed unvaxxed.
Unvaccinated have a 99.82% chance of surviving Covid. Vaccinated have a 99.96% chance. You can cherry-pick a multiplier from the MSM if it makes you feel better, but your actual risk reduction (from Pfizer’s own numbers) is 0.14%. If that makes you feel better, good for you. But your innumeracy does not mean that you somehow have a better understanding than those of us who actually know how statistics work...
“ Various ages. 16-63. Various states of vaxxed unvaxxed.”
Anecdotally, that sounds like wide open spread, rather than niche clusters. I think that we are entering that Boom phase with Omicron, where people in all walks of life will be spreading the virus in their circles of acquaintances, at the same time.
I saw one report recently, that estimated that 5-10% of the population of London might be actively infected now.
Did you even read your own article? The weasel words invalidate your conclusions. Nor does that contradict my statistics above. You are highly unlikely to die of Covid regardless of vaccination status. That is a fact.
Your comments are an insult to medical professionals everywhere. Medical staff work their asses off trying to keep people alive and get better.
“ Yes because nearly every hospital is reporting the same thing. The beds are filled with the unvaxed”
Scroll down to “Inpatient Bed Utilization by State” , top right corner drop down menu for State.

Yes in some places hospitals a more busy than others but overall, what you said above is just wrong.
What I said/meant was the people in for covid are majority unvaccinated.
The graphic I linked indicates that all the counts are of COVID patients.
There because of covid or there for another reason and with covid?
I also have made peace with the incredible reduction in income over the last several months. No matter, I will never willing be vaccinated with this garbage.
For what it is worth here, if the mechanically ventilated Patients have the filters (and HMEs) changed out properly, the circuit is closed and airborne dispersal of the deadliest killer of under a half percent of victims, of all time, then it is likely rather not too dangerous to leave those doors ajar. Especially if the volume levels on all of the pump alarms are not shut down. .
Take care of yourself as there may be very dark days ahead.
I certainly worked hard, and I completely burned out. I suppose that is normal for my age. I had to retire many months before I ever intended.
The work load was overwhelming for me, and I do not know where it all fell apart for me, but I have always been a big strong highly energetic person, but I was unable to keep doing that work. It is heartbreaking for me.
So now I have surrendered huge financial rewards and I get to read more books and learn how to figure out the Cable contents.
