Mississippi's five largest hospitals are out of ICU beds

1. So sad but this is what happens when you cut costs to the bone....

...no extra capacity when the s**t hits the fan. It's really bad when the state college medical centers get here as they are usually the best funded and have the medical students as extra resources. Think how bad the smaller suburban and rural hospitals must be is they are getting hit too. I am amazed the medical staff and nurses' union aren't screaming as they will be having to decide who get treatment and hope and who gets left out to die. This is a true American tragedy and was oh so preventable.
