I live in Idaho, near Boisie. The hospital my wife recently started working at has had one (1) Covid patient, he was 86 and passed away. They have a few people in ICU for other things. The ER is only seeing 1/4-1/3rd the normal traffic. Most of the hospital rooms are empty because all non-essential surgery is not being done. It's so empty that today the hospital wants the different areas to start sending people scheduled to be on shift home early because their is no reason for them to be there.
Other hospitals in the area a bit more busy she said, but still well below normal use let alone over-run. That said they are expecting to see more chinkypox sufferers as the number of cases climb over the next two weeks.
So yeah it might get bad soon, but right now not so much.
She said only 3-4 people in ICU and maybe a few from the ER that had something done, but they are getting people back out of the hospital as quickly as possible..
