'All the beds are taken up by Covid victims': Hospitals in the South are running out of space or sta

Susan Walker has been calling out-of-state hospitals trying to get help for her husband, who did not get vaccinated against Covid-19 and is now in a medically induced coma.

"He is on a ventilator and in dire need of an ECMO treatment, which is not available at the hospital that he is in," the Florida mother said Sunday.

"All the beds are taken up by Covid victims also getting ECMO."

An ECMO treatment uses external machinery that can function as the heart and lungs. It's been used with some severely ill Covid-19 patients, including young adults.

Why are the willfully unvaxed allowed to do this to our country?

[roamer65]

1. Because no one has the guts to make the right decision.

The sending of WILLFULLY unvaxxed infectees to temporary field hospitals.

Food, water, cot and roof over their heads.

[SheltieLover]

3. I sure would, without hesitation or regret!

[roamer65]

5. ...

Same here. It’s a war.

Decisions like this have to be made in wars.

[SheltieLover]

8. Yes, yes they do. And it sure is!

Why the absolute hell are these willfully unvaxed asshats being coddled???

[dalton99a]

2. "And the worst part about this is this was foreseeable. And this was preventable."

[SheltieLover]

4. Absofuckingloutely!

[RockRaven]

6. Such a fucking waste of resources -- including "human capital" (a phrase I generally hate using)

[SheltieLover]

9. Sure is!

The medical workers are walking off jobs.

7. If he had gotten vaccinated, he wouldn't need the damn ECMO

[roamer65]

10. He doesn't deserve the ECMO.

If he can’t make it otherwise, let him go.

He made his choice. Let him live or die by it.

[SheltieLover]

20. Great point!

[SheltieLover]

11. Very true, mcar!

[dalton99a]

15. "But this is more fun than a sore arm"

It's complete idiocy

[viva la]

12. Don't have a heart attack this month!

All the beds and machines are taken by people who refused to get a vaccine shot.

[SheltieLover]

13. Or a stroke, car accident broken bone, etc.

All because willfully vaxed are being coddled.

[dutch777]

14. I really feel for the docs and nurses that are having to deal with this first hand...SO frustrating!

You sign up for fighting disease and injury but not on this scale and this emotional intensity and NOW when so much could have been prevented. I am amazed more med professionals dealing with this have not quit or otherwise checked out.

[SheltieLover]

18. Many actually have quit.

I think CNN has article up.

[Ilsa]

23. There's a nursing shortage and respiratory therapist shortage

in many places over run by. Covid.

[pwb]

16. The south had its chance to rise again?

And fell flat on its ass. I for one am tired of trying to lift the taker states up. Stay down below the rest. Your Pride is foolish and your people stupid on this vax thing.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

17. Misapplied compassion.

[LaMouffette]

19. I hope the hospitals are doing triage, putting the willfully unvaxxed at the bottom

of the list of those awaiting care.

[SheltieLover]

21. Not that I know of!

Filling beds & ICU's with willfully unvaxed!

[dweller]

22. What's to happen once the hospitals are full ?

Where will the ambulances take the covid sick, or will they just not pick them up ?
They need to be putting up the tents now for the overload that’s coming …
This is not going to end well 😕


✌🏻

[Texaswitchy]

24. People will die at home or in tents.

Triage will happen.

Sad but true.

Only so much to go around.

My housemate and I stay home now.

No car accidents.

It will get worse with school opening.


Time to get tough on the anti vex crowd.
