'People 50-years-old come in here and in two or three days they die,' said Dr. Wallace Thomas, who is working in the ICU at Larkin Community Hospital.
The organization also projected that more than 75 percent of the state's hospitals are expected to face a"critical staffing shortage" in the next week.
"There can be no question that many Florida hospitals are stretched to their absolute limits," Mary Mayhew, president and CEO of the association said Tuesday."While hospitalizations continue to increase, three out of four Florida hospitals expect to face critical staff shortages in the next seven days, an increase of nearly ten percent since last week, and half of our hospitals will no longer accept transfer patients from other facilities.
In a letter issued by the Committee to Protect Health Care last week, more than 800 physicians called on the governor to reverse his ban on school mask mandates, and"do much more to get vaccinations in people's arms." "As the virus burns through Florida, health care providers feel we are fighting this fire without any leadership from Gov. Ron DeSantis. Blocking communities from making local decisions to protect themselves with his top-down, one-size-fits-all edict will only make matters worse," the letter said.
