It would mean that we don’t have any more ICU or hospital beds, which leads to worse outcomes.Have we started bringing COVID patients into this county? Possibly a couple, but there is not a large influx of COVID patients into our county. As long as we have capacity and another hospital doesn’t have capacity, we are required to accept patients from them.Could we have a more positive theme song and where does Dr.Drew Colfax come from? We’ll consider changing the theme song when the curve improves and Dr. Drew Colfax is from “West” Boonville.
