treating unvaxxed people with COVIDMore than half of the hospitals within a major healthcare system in the western US region are suspending "almost all surgeries" for "several weeks" due to rising COVID-19 cases.
Intermountain Healthcare, a major healthcare provider whose headquarters are in Utah, announced on Friday that it would postpone "all non-urgent surgeries and procedures requiring a hospital admission in our trauma and community hospitals" starting Wednesday.
The system has 24 hospitals, 13 of which are expected to adhere to the suspension, according to the press release.
"This postponement starts September 15 and will last for several weeks. We will evaluate the situation on an ongoing basis," the release says.

(373 posts)so Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada are all greatly affected, and can't send their overflows. The other big hospital system is University of Utah, which is also getting tapped out.
