Calendars say April 2021, but in hospitals around Metro Detroit and Michigan it looks like April 2020 -- back when Covid was new and had no vaccines.
Michigan hospitals have nearly 4,200 confirmed and apparent Covid patients, up over 400 since Friday.

Statewide, 85% of adult intensive care beds were occupied Wednesday, including by 864 patients with confirmed or suspected Covid-19, according to the Department of Health and Human Services' daily capacity report. More than half the Covid victims in ICUs -- 470 -- were on ventilators.
