State governments are reportedly considering asking hospitals to consider rationing care amid concerns that the second wave of coronavirus cases is overwhelming health care systems, and New Mexico and Idaho may be the first to take action on the plan if cases in those states do not decline, according to local media.
Both New Mexico and Idaho are seeing record numbers of coronavirus cases. While positivity rates and positive cases do seem to be in slight decline, at least in New Mexico, both states are concerned that the Thanksgiving holiday could give rise to a steep uptick in cases as early as this week — and that means hospitals, which are already overwhelmed, could be further hindered.
