COVID situation in St Louis is out of control and now out of hospital beds

and the same with all the bordering Illinois counties and in Kansas City they will have no more bed available in days.

No national plan, no help and we are a long ways away from seeing the peak

I think constantly reminding them about the cameras and the benefits of masks against the DeepState surveilance might work on some of the more impressionable...

like the east coast cities did in the spring when we were hit pretty bad? The National Guard (medical specialists) was brought in to setup some of these facilities...

In some cases, the major hospitals could offload their routine hospital patients to the surge locations to free up beds that needed access to the necessary equipment to handle the covid patients, and in other cases, the surge places either took "recovering" covid patients who were close to transitioning out, again to free up beds, or ended up with some full blown covid patients.

That's what they proclaim, isn't it? The Show Me State?

Maybe then the idiots will believe it.
