People forget most hospitals are back to handling normal patient things unlike in the spring and early summer. |

There wasn't a covid surge here in the spring and early summer so hospitals were pretty much dead. Not the case now. It's a warzone here in both hospitals at the moment. |

There's alot of "it won't effect us, it won't get here" until it does. So I would guess thats why.
They had a couple large gatherings in my hometown about a month ago and last I heard one of them was up to 27 cases from that alone. |

We are under a "mask mandate". I went into the gas station this morning and saw 1 out of about 10 wearing one.
Don't shoot the messenger but I think most feel that have sacrificed enough of their time to the cause and are moving on as if things are back to normal. Being basically the last place to get hit hard in the country has it's pluses (better treatments/understanding) and minuses (tired of the shit that didn't effect us much until recently). |

Apathy was always gonna be an issue. People are just worn out over it and that's when it can get really bad. Hopefully things improve. We shall see.
Europe is having a hard time again, so I'm guessing we're in for it as well. |

From what I understand the hospitals would already be back logged with regular cases without Covid. This is something people warned about early on. |

They're absolutely full because of Covid. There are 155 Covid patients in the hospitals here. They require alot of staff and PPE which stretches the hospital thing. I don't understand trying to downplay the situation. It's not at a breaking point, but it's not something to hand wave. |
