State officials made the announcement Thursday, which will permit medical facilities to ration health care and triage patients.
Kootenai Health, a hospital in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, has already converted a conference room into an overflow Covid unit, started paying traveling nurses $250 an hour and brought in a military medical unit. The hospital received permission from the state to begin rationing care last week. That's all in response to the Covid surge that in recent weeks has taken over much of Idaho — a state with one of the nation's lowest vaccination rates.
"It's just nonstop trying to find placement for these patients and the care that they need," said Brian Whitlock, the president and CEO of the Idaho Hospital Association, who noted that hospitals across the state are struggling with the same issue. "It really is a minute-by-minute assessment of where beds are open, and hospitals saying we don't know where we're going to put the next one."

A regional transfer hub for patients in urgent need of critical care — typically things like car accidents, heart attacks and strokes — Kootenai Health has had to turn down 392 patient transfer requests in the month of August because of their number of Covid patients.

If they can’t accept truth
Truth will come after them
The comments come despite Kenney’s government making decisions this summer to leave the pandemic behind itself by treating it as endemic and attempting to live with the virus. The province first removed almost all public health measures July 1 — a move chief medical officer of health Dr. Deena Hinshaw acknowledged this week led to the fourth wave — and then planned to remove all virus containment measures in August before walking back that plan.

Wouldn't it be great if the Trumpiods would purge themselves by refusing to get vaccinated.

Always a laugh the way those on the right can take an abstract concept as "freedom" and reduce it to a bumper sticker cliché
When freedom comes to be defined in terms of shopping at Walmart and attending the Golden Corral's buffet you know we have gone beyond the point of diminishing returns
As Locke implied, and Voltaire explained, Freedom is based upon reason, not desire
it is a sign saying you do not have to wear a mask there or practice virus safety.
