The U.S. states of Florida and Louisiana were at or near their highest hospitalization numbers of the coronavirus pandemic on Monday, driven by the still-spreading Delta variant, as one doctor warned of the darkest days yet.

More than 10,000 patients were hospitalized in Florida as of Sunday, surpassing that states record. Louisiana was expected to break its record within 24 hours, prompting Governor John Bel Edwards, a Democrat, to order residents to wear masks again indoors.

These are the darkest days of this pandemic, Dr. Catherine ONeal, chief medical officer of Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, said at a news conference with Edwards. We are no longer giving adequate care to patients.

ONeal urged Louisianans to get vaccinated, warning that hospitals were overwhelmed.

Many nurses were out sick with the virus, she said, leaving the state with a staffing deficit of 6,000 people.

Hospitalizations in Arkansas are also soaring and could eventually break records.

In California, political leaders in eight San Francisco Bay Area counties reinstated mandatory indoor mask orders in public places as of midnight Tuesday morning.

Yeah, but no telling what long term effects they'll be facing. Not to mention the hospital bills.

Forgot the white Oakleys. The sign of stupidity. Bonus if they took a selfie in a pickup truck.

It's spreading everywhere, a county near me in Tennessee is up 1000% for cases in July.

Yes but you're missing the point. Hospital icu's are at capacity meaning they can't hospitalize everyone. It's again to the point where people are dying in ER waiting rooms because there simply isn't enough staff/equipment/rooms

Most people will survive a gunshot wound as long as they're fortunate enough to make it to hospitalization

Unfortunate for people who require emergencies unrelated to Covid.

That's a lie. Literally saw a article saying only 6% of the phillipines have gotten it. Likely not their fault but still makes this statement untrue

Nope. Canada was supposed to be on the way to phase 4 restart (everything back to normal essentially) in September, but our moronic top doctor decided to start telling people to panic over Delta so well likely have another lockdown soon too vaccines be damned.

And they will end up killing vaccinated people with non covid emergencies/conditions that get delayed care or lower quality care because their worthless asses are clogging up hospitals.

Really, Japan? I thought they'd be for vaccinations. They regurally wear face masks over there well before Covid was a thing.

The Japan one confuses me. Ganted I don't know everything about Japan, but aren't they pretty considerate about health and not spreading germs? Wearing a mask when sick is a thing they've done for a long time. You'd think the vaccine would be something they would take as a Civil or personal duty.

I feel like this is a drastically overlooked point here, the hospital isn't a strict COVID treatment facility. You have injuries, car accidents, heart attacks, strokes, women giving birth, aside from these places being entirely overrun with COVID patients. People with completely unrelated emergencies will suffer as a result of every hospital being at capacity and people waiting hours for treatment.

Yea how is this hard to understand.

For example, the biggest hospital in Baton Rouge (an average mid-sized city) has 800 beds.

Today they had 773 people admitted to the ICU (i.e. they each need one of those 800 beds).

This actually happened today, was just reading about it.
