No intensive care unit beds were available in Tulsa hospitals Monday night amid record-breaking numbers of COVID-19 cases, a spokesman for the Oklahoma Regional Medical Response System confirmed.

Adam Paluka, a spokesman for the system’s District 7 in Tulsa, told the Tulsa World on Monday night that the capacity limit applies to hospitals in the city but not the entirety of Tulsa County.

He had said earlier in the evening that two Tulsa hospitals still had ICU beds available, and he noted Monday night that the situation can change by the hour.

He said “it’s been a concern” that beds could fill as the numbers of COVID-19 cases continued to rise, culminating Monday in the state’s reporting a seven-day rolling average of about 2,050 new cases per day.

It's not the fault of the Hospitals.

5. Okies, y'all hang tight. You're rounding the trump-curve! Good times ahead.

In these dangerous times, we know that you have healthcare policies choices, such choosing political solutions offered by President Trump or science based solutions offered by unexciting experts with nothing new.

We, the GOP, thank you for choosing leadership by President Trump and his team.
