Alabama, we can do better. We have the resources and tools to do better. Our health care workers are overburdened and our hospital is at capacity with ICU beds.
Wear a mask. Get the vaccine. Social distance. Do something differently today than you did yesterday.
#Alabama is struggling mightily w/ #COVID19. Deficit of ICU beds, staffing shortages, 40+ children critically ill hospitalized, & worse to come. How will we accommodate @WhiteHouse #Booster plan to start for all adults late September?!?! @IDSAInfo @UABNews @DoctorRachael
