Washington state ICU’s nearing capacity as COVID-19 continues to surge

About this coverage

"This will stress our healthcare system to collapse if we continue at this rate but the community can step in and we can prevent this from happening," says Danielle O'Toole, an ICU nurse in Tacoma and WSNA member."People, please wear your masks over your nose and your mouth. Your nose holes are connected to your lungs, so we need that mask covering your whole face."
