Colorado currently has a 72.4% fully vaccinated rate with over 78% having at least 1 dose. ICU rate is at 85% and hospitals usually like to keep that at 80% but it's certainly not overflowing. We've been at this 20 months now and Colorado has had 3 surges as have most states - it would seem by now that everyone is either vaccinated or has natural immunity from having Covid.
I find it funny that when Alabama, and Florida had surges, the Dems on these boards were out here writing the most vicious things about the residents there but when the same situation hits a blue state they jump right to it's defense.
As stated - all states have had 20 months to do something about the situation. Many just failed at providing protection for their residents by firing the very people that could help.
Colorado is an incredibly liberal state compared to Virginia.
Incredibly high rate of violence in Colorado, extremely expensive with rents on the level of some of the suburbs of San Francisco, ignores the sky-high rates of drug addiction and encourages drug addiction.
Denver is just like Oakland without the good weather and nice in city topography.
Colorado Springs, Grand Junction and Greeley lean Republican but the Republicans are far-left and would be considered Democrats in a majority of states.
Boulder is a city of Nancy Pelosi and John Corzine liberals.
Pueblo, Colorado is a city of women who marry parolees and have lots of babies a majority of them can't afford and get everything nearly free from the Democratic state of Colorado.
Sounds like a state to avoid like a plague even with vacation dollars. My brother lived there years ago, and it was bad then. Sky high costs, illegals living in trailers sometimes as many as a dozen or more in a single trailer. Crappy construction done by said groups. He had a house built and I could not believe how crooked things were in it. Paid a ton of money for it. He and his wife moved out as soon as they could. Liberals ruining a beautiful state.
Say what you want about Florida, and our wave in midAugust was atrocious - we never ran out of hospital beds to treat our patients. We never needed to send them out of state. We took care of them down here, and we had the most cases of anywhere else in the USA, 7-day average 20,000+ new cases for days, during the height of the pandemic.
The fact that Colorado is out of beds (as I assume also happened to Idaho and some other states) is a big cause for voters to vote in a new government.
Same here in good old backwards Kentucky. Of course, we weren’t firing healthcare workers who had already had Covid. We are coming off our surge now. Yes, we did have a places were people were treated on gurneys in hallways and tents to treat those that were sick enough for intervention but could be handled without hospitalization, but they made it work.

Correct.

So, if you're so concerned about covid patients being refused needed hospital services, why didn't you bring up how in the ruby red state of Oklahoma where urban hospitals were so overrun with covid patients in intensive care that they refused to accept new covid patients in intensive care from rural hospitals. They had come down with serious complications, which required specialist care not available. So the rural hospitals had to let those covid patients die. The story of how it was with one such Oklahoma patient made it in the national news: https://sports.yahoo.com/news/48-hou...135102615.html
Interestingly enough the article said, "Gov. Kevin Stitt, R, did not institute restrictions for the latest surge, such as limits on gatherings or mask mandates. In fact, he issued an executive order prohibiting state agencies from requiring vaccinations and masks in public buildings. A judge temporarily blocked a state law banning masks in public schools."
Were those all the hospitals overrun with Ivermectin overdoses? Oh wait, that was a lie.
The guy is more insane than the average democrat. What a disgusting piece of work. Colorado down the drain. Pretty soon all decent people will migrate out.
I already did -- 16 months ago. Other than choosing to marry my husband, that was the BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE!!
I don't know what Colorado ever did to you that you would feel compelled to tell so many outrageous lies about it. Is it because Colorado voters committed the horrible crime of electing yet another Democrat as governor? Moderator cut: off topic
Whatever the reason for your vitriol, your post is wrong on every count. From your own link:
Yep, it's terrible that ER's in Colorado have been authorized to redirect patients to hospitals that still have enough beds.
Yep, it's awful to set up guidelines for allocating ventilators and intensive care beds if a hospital is overwhelmed by a crisis.
Where was your outrage when red states like Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Montana, and Alaska activated their own crisis standards? Hmmmm? Well, where was it?
Finally, Colorado Democrats would NOT enjoy seeing anyone suffering in pain. Moderator cut: off topic
Thank you!!
I’d wager that virtually every governor has signed similar orders, but that will never be addressed.
Overall, I wouldn’t have wanted to live anywhere else during the pandemic, than here in CO.
Gov. Polis has done an excellent job managing this crisis.
What I can't figure out if how all these people are against the science of the vaccine but want the same science to save their lives when they are on ventilators in the ICU due to getting Covid?

unfortunately Californians moved there to be near nature and escape the higher prices in California and brought their votes with them.
