There were ZERO available ICU beds in Mississippi as of early this morning. None.
That means hospitals across the state may not be able to provide the level of care needed to you or your loved one. Not just for COVID-19 but FOR ANY EMERGENCY CARE.

ICU bed availability is an indicator of the strain COVID is placing on MS hospitals.
We are caught up in a wave. Is it a rising wave, a crest? We won’t know until it has receded, but right now MS is in distress.
The weapons against this virus are EASY and SAFE: Masks & vaccines.

Please, if you aren’t already vaccinated, do it today. Vaccinations are FREE and easily accessible and the vaccines have been proven to be safe & effective.
Some people who are vaccinated are contracting the Delta variant but are experiencing significantly milder symptoms than those who are not vaccinated. It makes a difference.
Across the state, nearly 90% of hospitalized patients with COVID are not vaccinated, according to @msdh and @TCBPubHealth.
The vaccines work and could be the difference between you or your loved one getting sick and recovering at home or being hospitalized. And if there aren’t any ICU beds available, the advanced care necessary may not be available.
