MOBILE, Ala (WKRG) — WKRG News 5 viewers have been asking for several days how many people are in local hospitals, and if the hospitals are being overwhelmed. WKRG News 5 has been asking for information from local officials about that for a few days.

Thursday, however, the Mobile County Health Department said that information was on a “need to know” basis and is only being shared with certain people and individuals. MCHD Epidemiologist, Dr. Rendi Murphree, told reporters, “Hospitals are uploading that information three times daily to the Alabama Instant Notification System. These numbers include all their bed types including negative pressure rooms and ventilators.” That includes not only Mobile County but the entire state.

Mobile County has 18 cases of covid-19.

3. That is insane

No information ?

What are pregnant women supposed to do?

Everyone should scoff the next time one of these Maga types claims to be pro-life. Right now, a whole lot of the GOP looks like it's biggest donor is the grim reaper.

Hopefully, this particular stupidity stops soon.
