As we ve been reporting in the last few days, it was just over a week ago now that crisis standards of care were implemented for specific hospitals in north idaho, including the coeur d alene area. just the overwhelming of hospitals in that part of idaho due to covid was already provoking its own kind of crisis even in neighboring washington state. hospitals and even just individuals were deciding to try to get patients across state lines, trying to get patients into washington state hospitals when all the north idaho hospitals got so completely full with covid patients that they had to officially start rationing care last week. so north idaho has already been in crisis. that crisis, as washington state s governor put it, had already become washington state s problem as it washed over into eastern washington. but this declaration from idaho tonight means it s not just the north idaho panhandle any more. ....

People have like moved on, you know? the covid crisis is really bad. it s really bad in places that have low vaccination rates in particular. as we talked about last night with the staff director at the largest medical center in alaska, alaska s largest hospital is having people who show up at the emergency room now, they re having them just wait in their cars in the parking lot for hours. that s how you go to the emergency room at the largest hospital in alaska now, because they re so overrun with covid patients. the entire state of idaho is now in crisis standards of care as of today. they are so full of very sick covid patients, they may now just not treat the ones who seem least likely to make it. and that s not just true for covid patients. that s true for everybody who needs to come to any idaho hospital for anything. the covid situation right now is really bad. but joe biden s president enough that he passed and signed the huge covid relief bill and ....
