Many of the facili- ties are clustered in the South and West. An Associated Press analysis of federal hos- pital data shows that since November, the share of U.S. hospitals nearing the breaking point has doubled. More than 40% of Americans now live in areas running out of ICU space, with only 15% of beds still available. Intensive care units are the final defense for the sickest of the sick, patients who are nearly suffocating or facing organ failure. Nurses who work in the most stressed ICUs, changing IV bags and monitoring patients on breathing ma- chines, are exhausted. According to data through Thursday from the COVID Tracking Project, hospitalizations are still high in the West and the South, with over 80,000 current COVID-19 hospital patients in those regions. The number of cases reported in the U.S. since the pandemic’s start surpassed 25 million on Sunday, according to Johns Hopkins University. Encouragingly, hospitalizations appear to have either plateaued or are trending downward across Molalla Continued from A1 And in the long run, the machine should prove cost-saving. A gallon of hypochlorous acid was costing the department $35 per gallon at the lowest bulk rate. Now, the department can make it for about 4 cents per gallon. And Hamilton calls it “game-changing.” “When (COVID-19) first came out, we’d go on a COVID patient call, and we’d transport in the ambulance, right? And we’d come back, and it would take literally 45 minutes to an hour to decontaminate the ambulance,” Hamilton said. “Well, that ambulance needs to be available for emergency calls, and if it’s out of service because of decontamination, that’s a problem for our community.” The hypochlorous acid, aerosolized through an automotive paint sprayer, has sped up the process, reducing apparatus cleaning time to less than five minutes. “It literally breaks it down to 0.8 microns and sprays everything,” Hamilton said. “Because it’s in a fog, not even a mist, it’s a fog, it gets into ev- ery nook and cranny. It goes into porous fabrics … and decontaminates literally everything. You don’t have to go down and wipe every single Biden to reinstate travel limits President Joe Biden on Monday will formally rein- state COVID-19 restrictions on non-U.S. travelers from Brazil, Ireland, the United Kingdom and 26 European countries that allow travel across open borders. South Africa will be added to the list. all regions. It’s unclear whether the easing will continue with more contagious versions of the vi- rus arising and snags in the rollout of vaccines. The situation in Oregon In Oregon, hospitalizations and intensive care unit placements for COVID-19 continue to drop from December levels. The number of hospitalized COVID-19 pa- tients across Oregon was 310 on Sunday, the same as on Saturday. Of those, 80 were in intensive care unit beds, three fewer than the day before. Hospitalization and ICU figures, in general, have declined since December and early January.
