Coronavirus hospitalizations in Arizona and Texas have hit record numbers as cases continue to surge in states in the South and the West, overwhelming medical professionals
.
Meanwhile, 84 percent of intensive care unit beds were in use at Arizona hospitals and 83 percent of inpatient beds were in use as of Monday, according to the data. LoVecchio said they had their highest number of intubations last week and based on what medical professionals have learned from colleagues in New York and around the country and from medical journals,"the last thing you want to do is put these patients on a ventilator, but you can't just let them die if they can't get enough oxygen in them."
Dr. Michael White, the chief medical officer at Valleywise Health Medical Center, said they had seen the biggest increase in patients over the last five to seven days. "We're going to make some announcements later this week once we get the facts on where Arizona is specifically," he said, but did not elaborate on what that meant.
