So, I know this will fall on deaf ears here as there are a lot of people who think this is a hoax or just the flu, but my wife, who works for a large hospital system here in metro Atlanta, has completely maxed out its Emergency Department rooms due to an overwhelming influx of Covid-19 admissions. Mixed bag of Covid related and non-Covid related patients are on a wait list and delayed entry due to this. They are also filling up emergency surgery rooms with Covid patients to try to handle overflow. I guess the thing to note is that besides the travesty of having this Covid influx, there are people who are not Covid related that need emergency care but have to wait. This is about to get ugly again.
**update**
This Hospital is at full capacity. Opened up a shut down wing and it was filled up today. Yesterday 26 ICU beds available, as of 4:00 today, down to 7.
