Good Job Montana!

You have reached ICU capacity in many areas and they are calling in the National Guard to help out hospitals. How am I even supposed to care anymore, this is literally like shooting yourself in the foot and saying you didn't do it.

@highlander it's Montana. Don't worry, they'll shoot themselves in the foot too.

Unfortunately up here in Alberta, we're too busy trying to bandage ourselves up after shooting both feet

Meanwhile in WA, the governor is imploring deplorable Idaho to get its shit together and take some of that personal responsibility some love to preach about:

I wonder how many seeking care in Spokane are from two states over. I suspect idiots in CdA metro are enough to wreck things though.

@highlander

ICU beds here in Travis County (Austin) are full. The county, one of the few islands of blue in Texas, is over 70% vaccinated, but all the patients in the ICUs are from surrounding counties. That said, cases are coming down. Let's hope the trend continues.

@highlander Alaska wants to join the party.
