Hospital workers prepare for another COVID surge

NEW BLOOMFIELD — “This last year has been the toughest of the tough."

The number of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in Missouri have been increasing over the past few weeks, and health officials say another surge is near to challenge an exhausted health care workforce.

“After two surges, it looks like we’re currently building towards another," said Dave Dillon, spokesman for the Missouri Hospital Association.

Missouri's seven-day testing positivity rate is 12.5 percent, and there are nearly 2,000 hospitalized COVID patients.

Let me repeat that, it is bad.

I just ordered more N-95 masks, few people wear them in my pro-Trump area.

I follow college wrestling and there is a small tourney scheduled for the 20th - 21st in Florida. This is where I learned that Cornell (one of the teams) is shut down. Classes and tests have gone on line.
