President Joe Biden on Thursday announced the deployment of six teams of military medical personnel to overwhelmed hospitals in New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Rhode Island, Michigan and New Mexico.
The deployments, which total 120 personnel, come as hospitals grapple with staffing shortages as nurses and other medical personnel call out sick from omicron amid a surge of patients infected with the highly contagious Covid variant.
However, due to the massive firing of healthcare workers for not being vaccinated, a great shortage occurred due to this decision.
Also, since the Omicron that is spreading, and infecting all vaccinated and nonvaccinated individuals alike, the basis of this let go decision is currently non valid and act only to exacerbate the shortage in healthcare workers. The National Guards can help but can't act as Nurses,. etc. Just a thought.
