Hurley Medical Center is at capacity and McLaren Medical Center - very close. The only other hospital in the area, Genesys, which is located just south of Flint, lost a whole lot of employees over the vaccination mandate. That place was bad enough before Covid. It's the hospital where I routinely spent 10 to 14 hours every single time I had to take my mom or aunt to the ER, and they were there, often. I can't even begin to imagine what it's like, now.

No telling when or even IF we will ever get back to pre-Covid style living.
