Record-breaking COVID-19 counts, Utah may need to implement ‘crisis standards of care

With record-breaking COVID-19 counts, Utah may need to implement ‘crisis standards of care,’ hospital leader says

Utah reports another 1,765 COVID-19 cases, death of someone between ages 15-24

SALT LAKE CITY — After a week of record new COVID-19 case counts and hospitalizations, Utah hospital officials are sounding the alarm that the state might soon need to implement crisis standards of care.

They just don’t know how soon.

If crisis standards of care are invoked by the state at the request of hospital leaders, hospitals with no room would make decisions based on triage criteria, which is when health care providers prioritize treatment based on the severity of patients’ cases and their likelihood of survival with or without treatment. First responders and hospitals use triage in mass casualty situations.

Because the state has exceeded 1,500 new cases for the past several days, “we just know that hospitalization follows disease, and so we have to think in the next week or two that we’re going to be at the maximum of even our contingency planning for ICU beds,” said Greg Bell, president of the Utah Hospital Association.

But Trump's death cult super spreader rally goers cheers him on...

“We’re rounding the turn,” Trump said. “You know, all they want to talk about is COVID. By the way, on November 4, you won’t be hearing so much about it.”

Utah is a long way from the record......I doubt New York will ever be beaten.......

They certainly do not have the population density,. Do you think that is a fair comparison?
They are saying it is a record for them and a tax on the healthcare structure they have. Why do you post?

There it is! The parroting of the talking points! Covid is raging this week!
(This is the theme for the week: "Covid raging: It's Trump's fault".)

Thank you for proving to me my method of reading the Commie douches' playbook is accurate.

This would be an excellent opportunity for der bidenfuehrer to dictate to us EXACTLY what he would do about successive waves like this.

His plan is to get medicine that works to people and make it affordable. The vaccine thing..eh..they never came up with one for the flu or common cold, so..
IMO, that's not very practical.

They do not have one for aids either. We do not have one for Corona at this time.,

I got one for AIDS: Don't boofoo people or share drug needles. Simple.

Or get transfusions? You sure do judge. Nobody should smoke. They should not drink. they should not get fat. They should eat no meat. They should work out every day. I guess we solved it all, didn't we?

Trump's already put together the distribution plan, and says it will be free. And I've heard of their vaccine skepticism, and I'm smelling a big chinese rat here. Have you been hearing anything out of them lately? Supposedly they have a vaccine and their economy is roaring along pretty nicely. I'll bet those bastards had a vaccine before they unleashed it on us.

I don't think its fair to compare you with an intelligent person, but we do it anyway......the OP said, "record breaking Covid counts.......they could have said record per million population........still wouldn't be a new record, but at least then your point would be relevant......as it is, it isn't.......

Hello Cinnabar,

But Trump's death cult super spreader rally goers cheers him on...

“We’re rounding the turn,” Trump said. “You know, all they want to talk about is COVID. By the way, on November 4, you won’t be hearing so much about it.”

The cult is strong juju.

They still don't think this kind of thing is a problem.

COVID COVID COVID,

COFFIN COFFIN COFFIN,

Ahhh, what's the difference, they don't care.

Until it hits THEM, or someone in their family.

Oh, then it's real.

But if that doesn't happen then they think it's overblown.

One conservative told me more people die in traffic wrecks, you haven't stopped driving, have you?

I had to explain that no, that was wrong. Only about 36,000 people died in highway fatalities. And that's for a whole year. We are already at 230,000 and it hasn't been a year. Wait until next March and then see how many have died.

It could be another 200,000 by the end of the year. More by next March. It will probably be way over a half million in a year.

And no, he has NOT done a great job.

He has done a LOUSY job.

You are so stunningly stupid. Utah is not like NY. You made the comparison. They have record-breaking Corona. It is just that simple and goes no further. It has nothing to do with NY.

[Matt Dillon]

you have no right to tell Nordie to give up his favorite things......

If he wants poopy penis, I have no right to deny him that.
He can have all the shit on his dick that he wants!
Personally, I'm not into that.
