Idaho Falls — Recently, a number of medical professionals have come out and said there’s a breaking point with COVID-19, and the community has reached the point.

But if you glance at COVID-19 hospitalizations and intensive care unit bed numbers reported to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, Eastern Idaho Public Health or EastIdahoNews.com, you may think hospitals aren’t in dire situations. For example, Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center saw a dip in COVID-19 hospitalizations from last Tuesday to Thursday, and Idaho Falls Community Hospital had half of its ICU beds full last Thursday.
