Our local #Portland hospitals have switched to "crisis standards of care", the disaster-level triage mode where they decide who to treat based upon their overall likely outcome.
The pandemic is anything but over. Please act accordingly.

I heard kaiser has a 3 day wait for urgent care here in Portland. I shudder to think what ERs are like.
@downey Austerity fails to provide & maintain Adequate Medical Care
Only our Currency-Issuing-Self-Govt can afford the provision of People well trained & well paid in all areas (eyes-ears-teeth-body-mind) of non-pandemic Human Health Care which number may then provide pandemic care when needed
Such readiness is too great a cost to bear by For-Money-Profit firms
note the reality of pre-Covid-19
