Louisiana’s largest hospital @ololhealth has 163 Covid patients now; it’s a record. 28 were admitted in the last 24hrs. The youngest is 3 weeks. Oldest is 17. Dr. Catherine O’Neal shares 1 story about how these stats are forcing them to turn away patients due to “no beds left”
Excellent Leadership theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/…
