0 Health & Fitness Here's how the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has affected hospital capacity in Rutherford County and across TN. Local Data , Patch Staff Posted Reply LA VERGNE-SMYRNA, TN — The omicron coronavirus variant has quickly reached dominance in the United States as the holiday season gets into peak swing. The highly-contagious variant will likely sicken many of the country's 40 million unvaccinated adults in the near future, and some will require hospitalization, President Joe Biden said Tuesday. The vaccinated, and particularly those who have been boosted, have better odds of not getting sick or only catching a mild illness. "That will mean hospitals are going to get extremely stressed again, both in terms of equipment as well as personnel to care for those who get sick," he said. Biden directed the Pentagon to mobilize 1,000 additional military personnel to help staff local hospitals and expand … [Read more...] about Latest: Hospital Capacity In La Vergne-Smyrna Area
