You know, with all the millions crowding the airports and bars and beaches

[question everything]

I don’t think that several hundreds in places of worship make a difference.

And then the governor of S. Dakota refuses to mandate masks while not having facilities to care for the most seriously ill so they are flown to.. Minneapolis.

1. Santa will be stuffing a lot of stockings

with red and green caskets.

2. Minnesota should refuse patient transfers from Dakotas, WI, IA.

3. Yes and I live in Iowa

If we are too dumb to manage our own business, then why should we burden a rational state.

4. They need the beds for their own people. I'd be pretty pissed

if I lived in a state that managed its hospital capacity and covid policies responsibly only to have beds filled with residents from states that never even tried. Where are MN residents supposed to go if they reach capacity?

5. Sounding like Minny may not have a choice

per Relatives. Cases are exploding out State and Hospitals are full. By this time next week,all hell will break loose.

Ottertail and Yellow Medicine Counties are major hot spots. To be expected,cross border spreaders.

6. I fear that we are about to experience a new surge in cases,

due to all the travel. Hospitals are going to be full everywhere. That's why I'm sticking close to home.

8. Sticking close to home too.

I am really dreading the next two or three months, and steeling myself for a tremendously depressing onslaught of new cases and deaths.

7. Out in this region, it's SLC or Seattle.

I'm in Montana.

[question everything]

10. At least I think that Montana was implementing safe distancing?

It is one thing for the medical profession to "First, do no Harm" but before sending patients out of state, make sure that you do all you can to prevent the explosion.

12. It sort of started out that way but after June 1...

Bullock was browbeat into letting shit open up plus we already had a flood of out-of-staters from the beginning of March to present. Not enough people out here can pay attention for long, it would appear, and even if the locals were into it, the transient population is not.

9. Sounds like rural Missouri, they're shipping their CV patients into STLMO because their ...

hospitals etc. are either non-existent or already filled to the brim, which is no surprise, being that these people practiced no masks/no social distancing guidelines, so they expect us in STLMO to give up space in our limited capacity hospitals (which we pay for in many different ways here in STLMO)...

Thankfully, these hospitals have been turning away patients from out of state and from the rural parts of MO. The city of STLMO and KCMO are already straining at maximum capacity.

Our governor Parsons is worthless. Where's the national guard who can setup additional facilities within the state?

11. Whwen Republicans are in desperate situations due to their own stupidity, they turn to.....

Democrats, of course.

God doesn't operate any hospitals in the Midwest.
