1. A question comes to mind... In cases such as this, should we call

Alabama the "failed state" or should we reserve that term for the USA?

2. 100% America

Failed Nation.

3. I hope the local magats have plenty medical emergencies

Be it Covid or whatever. Wonder what they’ll say if they get in an accident or have a heart attack and there’ll be no medical care available. And hurricane season is here, they are about due for a hit.

5. And they will continue to vote for the same Trump-loving, vaccine-hating, anti-maskers

who got their state in this mess.

We are so far gone there is no hope unless the Darwin rule kicks in and has a significant impact on that crowd.

8. I don't agree with that. Trump lost and those using Covid to further their political future could

lose also.

6. The mortality rate for the least vaccinated states is already 5 times higher

…compared to the most vaccinated states.

In the 10 states with the lowest vaccination rates, there is an average of about 34 deaths per 1 million residents, and in states with the highest, the average is six deaths per 1 million, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.

Now that the demand for ICU beds exceeds the capacity one can only imagine their mortality rate is just going to keep going up.

7. Republicans did this to Alabama and America

9. This is what the people there

voted for.

This is what they want.

No sympathy from me for the state of things there.

10. Time for field hospitals.

Palliative care care quarantine facilities.
