Its not all hospitals but the 5 largest ones.
Edit: check out @dawgnms post above.
Most go to University of South Alabama Medical Center in Mobile. Naw Leans have thier own issues.
Edited original post to show they go to Alabama more often.
@PerroGrande - The cases related to 55+ have increased from 250/day May 31st to 3,025 TODAY ! It may be too late for that. The cases in this age group averages 2,234 per day so far this month. The deaths in August could be horrific. Also the deaths the last 2 days total 213 a big increase and hospitalizations today were 435 giving a 7 day average of 302 which is both a record for the 9th straight day and almost 3 x what it was 1 month ago
I thought this thread would get closed after two hours, so everything after this is gravy.
Biggest in the state is UMMC University Ms. Med. Center. You cannot go by ER wait times, as most major hospitals down here discourage it and have opened numerous outpatient walk in clinics some that are open until midnight. Garden Park right down the road is a privately owned hospital and has a small ER. Memorial Hospital which is publicly owned is very large and has many outpatient clinics in our 6 county area PLUS 15 or so walk in clinics no appointment needed. No need to go to the ER plus at Memorial if you walk into the ER for non emergent care it will cost you 2 Ben Franklins up front. Discouraging ER use for non emergent care at its finest.
😂
The beer/liquor drinking and name calling hasn't started yet.....😜 Hopefully it won't.
Still early though. For my part, I'm working on the drinking part. Luckily, I have a strict drinking/posting rule. Only have about 10 mins. left.
Down here ICU beds as of now is not an issue. Memorial, Merit Health, Singing River and Oschner run all in the 3 coast counties. I would imagine that the big hospitals in the northern half of the state are sending patients to the Memphis or Birmingham areas
Be patient grasshopper
@BayAreaDawg would love to have an update whenever you can give one.
Unfortunately, I have to agree with you. Late July and early August could be bad.
I hope new treatments combined with more experience treating COVID-19 cases will save some people and keep the numbers lower than expected.
