After some days of “only” a couple hundred COVID deaths in the US, it seems the deaths from the surge are now starting. Nearly a 1000 yesterday and already 700 reported today.

56 Florida counties have full hospitals. They are setting up triage tents in parking lots in some places.

Arizona now above 90% hospital capacity. 50% of ventilators used and that’s starting increase rapidly. Most hospitals have stopped non-essential surgery.

One doctor I read today has said 80% of the patients she admits to hospital are COVID cases.

Basically we are getting very close to the point where doctors will be forced to decide who to treat.
