Per my comment, there are exactly 4 free ICU beds in all of Idaho. If there are more than 4 hospitals in Idaho (Wikipedia lists ~30), all hospitals after the 5th are therefore full.
- DiffEq 5y agoSo these are due to staff shortages. I don't live there now but I use to live in that region and this occurred from time to time...because the hospitals are small and the staff are few...it was normal procedure to fly patients out of state for care. These headlines are misleading because it does not put the issue into context. This is why the National Guard is being considered...because of staff. One reason why there are fewer staff these days is because people are tired of this crap and also may get paid more to sit at home.
