(Here's looking at you Anti-v**xers, with your selfish and delusional "personal freedom" that is k*****g "we the people" and ruining our economy.)

More than half of the hospitals within a major healthcare system in the western US region are suspending "almost all surgeries" for "several weeks" due to rising C****-** cases.

Intermountain Healthcare, a major healthcare provider whose headquarters are in Utah, announced on Friday that it would postpone "all non-urgent surgeries and procedures requiring a hospital admission in our trauma and community hospitals" starting Wednesday.

The system has 24 hospitals, 13 of which are expected to adhere to the suspension, according to the press release.

"This postponement starts September 15 and will last for several weeks. We will evaluate the situation on an ongoing basis," the release says.

Dr. Marc Harrison, CEO of Intermountain Healthcare, told CBS affiliate KUTV that half the system's ICU beds are occupied by patients infected with C****-**. An overwhelming majority of those patients - 90% - are unv******ted, he said.

"We need some drastic action in order to preserve the public health," Harrison said. "The cavalry is not coming. We are the cavalry, and when I say 'we,' I mean the community as a whole."

When asked by KUTV of his stance on a v*****e mandate, Harrison stopped short of an endorsement.

"Our epidemiologic projection suggests we're not even at the worst part yet," he said. "We believe we're going to need about 40 more ICU beds, and about 70 more general beds in the very near future. And guess what? We don't have them."

According to the press release, the hospitals are "at a critical point" due to large spikes in C****-** cases, particularly in Utah.

"C****-** cases have continued to significantly increase in Utah-resulting in consistently high volumes in hospital ICUs and acute care units across our system," the release says. "Our teams are overwhelmed and we're running out of staffed beds for patients."

Positive C****-** cases continue to spike in Utah, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. Hospitalizations have also been on the rise since July. Just over half of Utah's population is fully v******ted against the c****av***s, JHU data says.

If you'd bother to open your eyes and your mind you'd see this was originally reported by "Business Insider" Yahoo simply carried the story. It's easy to claim f**e news or disregard a source, it's a little harder to examine the t***h and know it for what it is when you don't like what you see.

The same quack hospitals who are firing their nursing and other staff members who SAVED THEIR BUTTS during the 1st c***d crisis because they now have immunity and don't need/want the shot.
They're cutting off their nose to spite their face....

They need to begin emergency triage, putting c***d folk in a parking garage until space becomes available for them.

Agreed and there should be a few beds for other emergency beds for people who care about their health. In Alabama things have improved some. now there's only 40 people waiting for a bed in ER and I still can't get a shoulder surgery for lack of staff.

They are covering what they want you to see.

The reason your vision is so limited is because you put an unduenamount of trust in the media.

>>>Probably because they are coming in with new variants caused by and incubated in the bodies of those that were v******ted. But you knew that of course. Nah, probably not.
