Yup, the same here. They are warning that they don't have the ICU capacity that we had last year anymore. Then, over 1200 people were in ICU. Now they won't be able to accommodate that number anymore.We are beginning to encounter shortages of ICU staff. There have been a significant number of health care workers who have taken leave of absence, quit, or simply refuse to work in the COVID ward anymore. Simple fatigue due to overwork is also coming into play.

So, if we are at 18% confirmed cases, and the estimated case rate is double that, (16-18%) and over75% of people are vaccinated aren't we nearing herd immunity?Minnesota Report for the week of 12/2-12/8 2021 - just some general stuff
Minnesota has had ~949,000 of its residents test positive for COVID-19 since the epidemic began (in addition ~11,400 haves tested positive twice). This indicates that over 18% of the population has had COVID-19.*
We have had a total of ~9,910 deaths attributed to COVID-19, giving a fatality rate of ~1.03%.
Over the last week Minnesota's hospitalization rate has been significantly higher than in the previous few months - approaching the rate during the worst period of December 2020 - with an average of 155 new hospitalizations per day. Overall, ~20% of hospitalizations have resulted in admission to ICUs.
Although we have had a few cases of the Omicron variant in the last 2 weeks, the Delta variant is still accounting for ~98% of new cases.
For those who are fully vaccinated, the 'break-through' infection rate appears to be running at ~0.2%.**
~84% of new cases are still occurring among the unvaccinated (the unvaccinated account for ~27% of Minnesota's population). An unvaccinated person who catches COVID-19 is ~14x more likely on average to die than vaccinated person.*** The hospitalization rates of unvaccinated vs vaccinated appear to be in the same approximate ratios.
*The true number of people who have contracted COVID-19 is unknown due to many cases not having serious symptoms and hence no test being performed. The epidemiologists estimate that the number of cases is probably about 1.8-2x the confirmed test value, the majority of the undetected among the under age of 50.
**A 'break-through' case occurs when a fully vaccinated person contracts COVID-19 in spite of being vaccinated.
***An unvaccinated person age 65+ is ~17x more likely to die, while someone unvaccinated age 50-65 is ~12.5x more likely to die.
imho, the herd immunity is not applicable with variant at high contagiousness like Omicron and probably Delta, i hope some more educated people can deny itSo, if we are at 18% confirmed cases, and the estimated case rate is double that, (16-18%) and over75% of people are vaccinated aren't we nearing herd immunity?
Steal anything you can from the UFO. Some people need proof.
