Covid wave. In Idaho, officials warned last week that Covid hospitalisations of mainly unvaccinated individuals had climbed to record levels, exhausting the supply of staff, available beds and resources. Just over 40 per cent of people in Idaho are fully vaccinated, one of the lowest rates in the US. “It is so frustrating that we are facing another Covid surge in hospitals, which could have been prevented,” said Matthew Crecelius, an intensive care unit nurse working at a Michigan hospital. “About 99 per cent of Covid patients we see in ICU are unvaccinated . . . That is the impact of misinformation.” Crecelius said the psychological impact of witnessing so much death and illness, particularly among young people, has forced him to seek counselling and explore other job opportunities in healthcare.Please use the sharing tools found via the share button at the top or side of articles.

Existing staff shortages in many states have added to the sense of crisis. Tennessee’s department of health has called on the National Guard to provide support at some hospitals while in Alabama some nurses temporarily walked off the job this month in protest against low pay and poor conditions. Doctors are also feeling the strain and expressing frustration at politicians and the public’s failure to take effective precautions to tackle the Covid crisis. “This wave is so difficult because we didn’t have to do this all again. The vast majority of our patients in our ICU are unvaccinated,” said Dr Jennifer Caputo-Seidler, a doctor working at Tampa General Hospital in Florida. At one point during the recent wave, fully awake and alert patients with Covid had to be put into the ICU alongside patients on ventilators due to severe space restrictions, she said.
