The seven-day average is less than 150.

Mercy recently announced it ran out of ventilators.

It had to ask for other hospitals around the region to send help.

116 COVID+ @MercySGF. New day, new record. Spent the night looking for ventilators because we ran out. 47 patients on vents. A lot of those are COVID but not all. We’re blessed to be part of a large health ministry @FollowMercy. Vents coming from @mercysaintlouis and @MercyNWA
