97% of ICU beds at TMC now occupied as COVID-19 cases reach record highs

"Should the number of new cases grow too rapidly, it will eventually challenge our ability to treat both COVID-19 and non-COVID 19 patients," said Methodist's CEO.

So who do you choose to treat if you run out of beds? Say, a protester who knowingly put themselves in harms way or an old timer with heart issues? You have to pick one!
Which would it be?

@Yep : Protectors less likely to be exposed. They were masks and were outside. OK rally goers were unmasks in a closed building and the AZ rally peeps no masks but were in a building who was equipped with an air purifier that killed CoVid19 in 10 minutes per the 2 preachers. Proved to be misinformation of course.

@cbp210 : No, it won't. Sorry to say no way but upward due to some people not complying with the guidelines as of Memorial Day. Plus more people were working from home, travel between states was stopped and if you crossed state lines you were quarantined for 14 days. This all helps tame down CoVid-19 and level the plain.

The uptick has started AGAIN and it will take longer to slow/stop it. Meaning it takes longer to slow this virus down once it is running rampant!!!!!!!!!!

TIME WILL TELL..............

You all do realize that every single one of us will be catching this virus, right? It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. Fabric masks may slow it down somewhat, but the virus still gets through. That's a fact. A vaccine won't be available for possibly another 12 months, then it will only be effective for 6-8 months before it wears off.

@Sammee : Not necessarily. I'm not saying I won't, but I've never had the flu in my whole life.

"Actually"

We all eventually will come in contact with the virus.
Now if you actually have a robust enough immune system or lucky enough to receive a small enough payload that your body can identify it and fight it before it can replicate enough to cause an actual infection is a different story.

Yep : I think nurses and doctors make that determination based on who has the best chance of survival as well as who has more life to live. Not sure they'll be making that determination based on who they think had it coming

@nikkiole : agreed, but if you were the triage nurse knowing what you know ( a middle aged white dude who got it at the Tulsa Trump rally, a teenage black kid who got it in Minneapolis at a protest, and an elderly person with underlying heart issues) and the old timer got there first by 15 mins and the other 2 arrived at the same time. You have one bed, who would you choose?
