'Loss of hope': Idaho hospitals crushed by COVID-19 surge

Nope

"
Justice John Marshall Harlan delivered the decision for a 7–2 majority that the Massachusetts law did not violate the Fourteenth Amendment.[2] The Court held that "in every well ordered society charged with the duty of conserving the safety of its members the rights of the individual in respect of his liberty may at times, under the pressure of great dangers, be subjected to such restraint, to be enforced by reasonable regulations, as the safety of the general public may demand" and that "[r]eal liberty for all could not exist under the operation of a principle which recognizes the right of each individual person to use his own [liberty], whether in respect of his person or his property, regardless of the injury that may be done to others."[2]

Furthermore, the Court held that mandatory vaccinations are neither arbitrary nor oppressive so long as they do not "go so far beyond what was reasonably required for the safety of the public".[2] In Massachusetts, with smallpox being "prevalent and increasing in Cambridge", the regulation in question was "necessary in order to protect the public health and secure the public safety".[2]"

Nothing there about presidential executive orders.

Nothing there about presidential executive orders.

Nothing there about any "particular" type of reg. It neither includes nor excludes Executive orders

It doesn't reference EO's, hence it doesn't apply to EO's

Thanks for your opinion. I’m sure courts will consider it

It's not opinion. It's a fact that the ruling says "states police powers" and doesn't say "the president's police powers". The president doesn't have police powers.

The Executive HAS "state police powers"

Whatever. That would be up to the courts.

My opinion is that it will be regarded as precedent.

No, the president DOESN'T have "state police" powers...lol. That's fucking stupid.

Let's see what the Courts say counselor.

I wonder why no one has challenged it in court

Show us where in the Constitution the president has state police power...lol

Perhaps you didn't hear that the talking point has changed. Illegals ain't the problem. It's now the fault of The Negro. Did you miss the memo?

In actuality or course, the problem is mask and vax Karens.

Actually if you are infected with the SARS CoV-2 virus, wearing a mask will increase your viral load, thus making it more likely that you get a serious case of COVID 19. Especially if you wear the mask for long periods of time.

The masks can also give you mask mouth, which can lead to periodontitis and heart disease.

Idaho is the fourth least vaccinated state behind only Mississippi, Alabama and Wyoming. Sent this story to all my Idaho friends reminding them (whether vaxed or not) not to get sick, have a heart attack, a stroke, or an accident.

They are fresh out of beds at St Luke's and St Al's - the two largest hospitals in Idaho. And this is true even in Boise, where vax rates are much higher than they are in the rest of the state.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — The intensive care rooms at St. Luke's Boise Medical Center are full, each a blinking jungle of tubes, wires and mechanical breathing machines. The patients nestled inside are a lot alike: All unvaccinated, mostly middle-aged or younger, reliant on life support and locked in a silent struggle against COVID-19.​

​

But watch for a moment, and glimpses of who they were before the coronavirus become clear.​

​

Artfully inked tattoos cover the tanned forearm of a man in his 30s. An expectant mother's slightly swollen belly is briefly revealed as a nurse adjusts her position. The young woman is five months pregnant and hooked to a breathing machine.​

​

Down the hall, another pregnant woman, just 24 and on a ventilator, is lying prone — on top of her developing fetus — to get more air into her ravaged lungs.​

​

Idaho hit a grim COVID-19 trifecta this week, reaching record numbers of emergency room visits, hospitalizations and ICU patients. Medical experts say the deeply conservative state will likely see 30,000 new infections a week by mid-September.​

​

With a critical shortage of hospital beds and staff and one of the nation's lowest vaccination rates, Idaho health providers are growing desperate and preparing to follow crisis standards of care, which call for giving scarce resources to patients most likely to survive.​

​

St. Luke's Boise Medical Center invited The Associated Press into its restricted ICUs this week in hopes that sharing the dire reality would prompt people to change their behavior.​

Would had been nice if Biden spent some of those trillions of dollars on something needed, like makeshift hospitals with ICUs and hiring more nurses and healthcare workers.

Instead it just went to pork projects for Dems.

Where do you people come up with this shit?
Straight outta ya asses I suspect, and then y’all fling it like a monkey do!

Rather than putting more millions of taxpaper $'s into helping these states full of people who refuse to get the vaccination, we should be making it mandatory. You can't go anywhere without it: no stores, no work, no restaurants, no nothing. Make people suffer if they won't get it. No unemployment either. Nothing. Force them to get it. It isn't the responsibility of the entire nation of taxpayers to help out people who refuse to do what anyone with common sense would do.

That's not the way to force people. That's the way to burn down city halls. The way to force people is to have big men demand to see vax cards. If they don't have any, take them down and give it to them then and there.
