Oklahoman
At Integris Miami Hospital in the northeast corner of Oklahoma, hospital beds are full again, like they were at the peak of the pandemic.
Like everyone, hospitalist Dr. Justin Mitchell and his colleagues there hoped the worst of COVID-19 was behind them. They still do.
“But it’s been ramping up quite a bit over the past month,” he said. “We went through a period at the height of the pandemic, where all of our COVID beds were consistently full, and anytime we were able to get someone out of hospital, there was someone waiting for that bed.”
Eventually, that waned, and at one point, no COVID-19 patients were in the hospital. In recent months, patients resumed trickling in.
