Alaska. hospitals in kentucky, hospitals in montana and several other states have reported that they are teetering on the brink of the same designation, but this announcement in alaska tonight is new, and we have never as a country had multiple states rationing care like this simultaneously. weve just never had it. and forgive me for just putting this in personal terms for a second, but people say getting vaccinated or not is a personal decision, as if it only affects you. i hear that a lot, exp...

Overrun, and the standards is that allowed that death to happen are now in place statewide in every hospital in alaska and in every hospital in idaho, and theyre going into effect in other individual hospitals in other states now too. that is because people are not getting vaccinated. your decision whether or not to get vaccinated can be a life or death determining factor for somebody else who did get vaccinated, but gets in a car wreck or needs dialysis, or needs a heart catheterization procedu...
