2. Saturday night. Pioneer Park at Lewiston, ID. Terrorist sympathizers and COVIDiots

are havin' a flag humpin' hootenanny, about 1/4 mile from our slammed hospital. 6000 of them packed the Lewiston Roundup grounds the weekend before last. COVID is running through the schools. 55 deaths in the state reported yesterday, that was double the week before. I'd bet it's over a hundred next week. Maybe over 200.

Less than two weeks after crisis standards of care were activated in two North Idaho health districts, the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare announced Thursday that they have been activated statewide.

The rationing comes as COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations have continued to rise, filling hospital beds and creating the situation that health officials have been warning about for weeks and desperately hoping to avoid.

“The situation is dire – we don’t have enough resources to adequately treat the patients in our hospitals, whether you are there for COVID-19 or a heart attack or because of a car accident,” Health and Welfare Director Dave Jeppesen said in a news release.

Crisis standards involve rationing health care resources when hospitals become overwhelmed. Patients may be prioritized differently, with treatment given first to those considered most likely to survive.

The article goes on to explain what you need to know about crisis standards of care and how Idaho got itself into this mess.
