I had a virtual Dr. visit yesterday and my Dr. just recently recovered from Covid in Integris Baptist. I asked him how the atmosphere was in the hospital. He said Baptist was like 35% covid patients and Integris Portland - which is an overflow for Baptist - was 100% covid because its only covid. He said he was in Portland for 9 days and heard code blues several times a day.I think the state has a report on the % of covid patients that you can reference. Not sure of the Methodology for the report, is it an average of all hospitals or what. I can only speak to the 2 hospitals I work at. I know the covid #’s but unsure if the maternity beds are counted in the total reported to the state, which can change the covid % drastically. But generally speaking, the hospital bed #’s are overwhelmed by the covid pandemic. ICU’s are still overflowing into other parts of the hospital. If that means 32% or 40%, I can’t say.
Unsure what liberal/conservative has to do with your job. I’m a conservative, and only report on what I see at work.
