Clarification. The 1473 is the total number hospitalized. 319 are in ICU. Not sure where you are getting your numbers. The below screenshot is directly off the MA state website that tracks all things Covid. It shows the total number of breakthrough cases in fully vaxed individuals at 100K. That’s only 2% of all fully vaxed individuals in the state.

You do realize that hospital costs are collective costs?

Ok, I haven't figured out how to get this out of my search cue, but anyway. Gov. Sununu was on AM 610 this morning, he was asked about the Covid issues in NH. A few things he said that I thought were striking. He said the ICUs in NH are being overwhelmed with covid patients. He said that a typical ICU patient, like the TYPICAL heart attack or stroke victim, spends 5 to 6 days in the ICU. He said the typical covid patient who is sick enough to require the ICU, is in a bed for 5 to 6 weeks, hence the issues with beds. He also said, and I thought this was most striking, that depending on the hospital, between 80 and 95 percent of the covid patients requiring the ICU are not vaccinated. Anecdotal for sure, but pretty striking. He said that he did not believe it was his place to mandate masks statewide, he had a few good reasons.

I tried to see if there was a link to the interview, but apparently his car was involved in a minor car accident and that is much more important news.

He does press conferences that live stream on WMUR.
He is just seeing what everyone else is seeing, except he knows the $$$.

Same as what my wife heard from her Dr. that works in ICU. Almost all were unvaccinated.

You do realize 2% is a pretty high number.

That’s 1 in 50 got COVID (bad enough to be in the ICU)

Approx 1 in 329 died from COVID in the USA and that’s a large number.

Hold on to your masks folks it’s gonna be a bumpy ride. And unfortunately NH is leading the way for the whole country. Not something to be proud of.
