Nov 10, 2020
No intensive care unit beds were available in Tulsa hospitals Monday night amid record-breaking numbers of COVID-19 cases, a spokesman for the Oklahoma Regional Medical Response System confirmed.
Adam Paluka, a spokesman for the systems District 7 in Tulsa, told the Tulsa World on Monday night that the capacity limit applies to hospitals in the city but not the entirety of Tulsa County.
He had said earlier in the evening that two Tulsa hospitals still had ICU beds available, and he noted Monday night that the situation can change by the hour.
He said its been a concern that beds could fill as the numbers of COVID-19 cases continued to rise, culminating Monday in the states reporting a seven-day rolling average of about 2,050 new cases per day.

that's what Spokane and all of hard-core GOP eastern WA have been doing: sending their overflow to Seattle.
It's not the fault of the Hospitals.

We, the GOP, thank you for choosing leadership by President Trump and his team.
