to die or be hospitalized. and so we really need people to get vaccinated. the really good news is that here in louisiana people are hearing this news and we more than tripled the number of people that have gotten a vaccine in the past few days. number one per capita. so my hope is that people will see this and start taking care of themselves and others. right now it's really hard in these hospitals, taking our surgery units and putting them into recovery centers for covid, put putting off all elected procedures. it's really challenging for our staff. they're tired. they've been at this for a very long time. >> who can blame them? they're physically and emotionally drained. what will happen with the shortage of doctors and nurse and staff? >> right now we're caring for the patients but we need people to get vaccinated. new numbers are good but it will take a good month and a half to see the result of these vaccinations. we'll have to take care of people like we've done all along.
