I was listening to the CEO of the largest health care provider in Idaho Speak with Briana Keilar on CNN this morning. He was saying it is a real problem because they are overwhelmed with cases and 50 of their doctors and nurses and health care providers are out with coronavirus at this point so they have had to close down 6 of their 50 facilities state wide because of not enough medical help well at this point to carry on. This is another state having the nightmare scenario of turning away new patients.
In this state's testing they presently are testing 30% positive which is a very high rate which means that basically 1/3 of the people getting tested are coming up positive at this point.
This creates a chain reaction of problems for any state this happens to.
For example, people with other problems besides coronavirus cannot get health care either like heart attack and stroke victims and people who have accidents. All of them cannot get health care either during these times. Pregnant women cannot deliver their babies in the hospital and the list goes on and on.
So, if you are in one of these states maybe go to another state nearby where relatives are where you can get help and stay for awhile because hospital and personnel shortages at all these hospitals during these times so you can stay alive through all of this.
