Idaho allows COVID-slammed hospitals to ration care for first time ever.
The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare quietly enacted the move Monday and publicly announced it in a statement Tuesday morning—warning residents that they may not get the care they would normally expect if they need to be hospitalized.
The move came as the state's confirmed coronavirus cases skyrocketed in recent weeks. Idaho has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the U.S. The state health agency cited "a severe shortage of staffing and available beds in the northern area of the state caused by a massive increase in patients with COVID-19 who require hospitalization."

You're just cherry picking, I can do that too here watch: In my city the hospital is totally fine.
My whole point is that it's not a *widespread* problem. You're only going to find news stories about places where it *is* a problem, nobody is going to write a news story saying "Hospital totally fine and normal", so there's a huge selection bias creating the illusion that this is happening everywhere. It's not.
