Hospitals in springfield are full. the tide of covid patients is still only increasing. they are asking the state to come in and open an alternate care facility, presumably some kind of emergency field hospital in springfield, missouri, because the icus are full, the ventilators are maxed out, the staff is maxed out, the beds there are at capacity. again, this is now. weve been watching over the last couple of weeks as hospitals in southwest missouri have been sounding this alarm announcing they...

Youre hearing from doctors who say theyre seeing patients who are no longer as old as they used to be, not the vulnerable patients one doctor told me who are in their 60s and 70s and 80s. hes now seeing younger patients, people in their 20s and 30s, sometimes ending up in their icus, sometimes needing that oxygen support so that is the concern theyre seeing and you hear that frustration this is largely preventable. the idea the vaccines are out there, that theyre widely available and new incenti...
