Listening in on #hospital capacity update with docs from @UNMHospital, @PresHealth, Lovelace Medical Center, and Sandoval Regional Medical Center. They're sadly preparing for #crisis care levels - and that means rationing care. @KOB4
Doctors say they are absolutely seeing the effects of people gathering over the #Thanksgiving holiday.
Just asked all these doctors if they've ever worked in this potential #crisis level - short answer... never.
Long answer - only thing that comes close is military or humanitarian crisis situations that are fast and furious... nothing this long and sustained. @KOB4

When asked what comes after this situation - rationing just becomes more intense. There is no new "level" designed to handle this #pandemic.
