[quote:WildBillShow:MV80ODg5MzU3Xzg5MzAzNTYyXzlERkE0QUVF] [quote:Truthseeker2011:MV80ODg5MzU3Xzg5MzAzMjAzX0I5RThDQjdC] With lane county having a population of 400k the fact that 50 sick people overwhelmed the healthcare system is the real doom not covid. If we had the healthcare of Japan or Germany we should have 3,000 beds in the county enough to deal with those numbers 50 times over. But like everything the Pacific northwest is woefully unprepared for a catastrophe event. It's something that boggled my mind when I moved here. No air condition, no preparation. No call boxes on the highways. Hell half the bridges were built at the turn of the century and are delalpitated. Honestly it's laughable, I lost power for 24 days during the massive snowstorm 2 years ago. Luckily Im aware of how unprepared they are and have off grid systems to compensate. The only way we had our roads cleared was locals with their tractors. Just because we have a criminally inadequate healthcare and infrastructure system doesn't mean we have a covid problem. We have a Portland problem... [/quote] Man that is true!! I remember seeing something about Oregon being in the last 5 states per capita for hospital beds in the US. 👀 [/quote]

I live in Eugene, OR and I’m seeing in the news our hospitals are at capacity like this - [

My neighbor works on one of the Covid floors in this hospital. She used to think this was BS too, because when we last locked down, she said they only had 3 Covid patients. Now they have 36 on ventilators and quite a few more going to need them soon. She says she’s been seeing more people in their mid 20’s- early 40’s coming in and says it’s mostly unvaccinated people. I’m not shilling for the vax, I haven’t taken it myself. But I’m curious what is it like in the rest of the country? What is the vaxxed vs unvaxxed ratio like in your hospitals? Are they at capacity too?
