Drive with special care!

 

 

From a N.Y. Times story about ER's (or, ED's if you will)

In Alabama, all I.C.U. beds are currently occupied. In recent days, dozens of patients in the state have needed beds that were not available, according to data published by the Department of Health and Human Services.

“It means they’re in the waiting room, some are in the back of ambulances, things of that nature,” said Jeannie Gaines, a spokesperson for the Alabama Hospital Association.

 

Even if you avoid Covid, any injury from any cause that would normally send you to the ER may now send you to a hospital hallway. Drive carefully and stay off ladders.
