       mask mandate Wednesday evening, requiring businesses to ensure

       vaccinated. ... ...
       People do not have to wear masks in restaurants, convenience

       numbers of Covid patients needing hospitalization continue to
       rise. He estimates that 50 to 70% of their ICU patients, on
       average, are there to be treated for Covid, and most of these
       ICU patients are unvaccinated.

       “We just can’t sustain these additional patients in our
       healthcare system, and it’s really weighing on our staff,”
       Dobson said. “And it’s really not fair to those in the community
       that are vaccinated and trying to seek other types of care.”

       “In my 30 years, I’ve never been in a situation wheere we just
       aren’t able to get patients the care they need when they need
       it. It’s sort of been the American norm that we can get patients
       to where they need to go, and there’s always availability and
       somebody at the other end of the line that says, ‘Yeah sure, we
       can help you,’” Rousse said.
       “And now we’re finding that there isn’t anybody at the other end
       of the line that says they can help us, because they’re
       overwhelmed themselves. It’s tearing everybody
       up.”

       “When you have a doctor in front of you saying, ‘Yeah, you have
       cancer,’ the big C-word, whether it’s small, big or different,
       you get a little bit wigged out,” Striebe said. “Then you kind
       of just keep going along. But I just — I want it done.”
       [move]Striebe is just one of hundreds of Vermonters whose
       surgery has been delayed in recent weeks as hospitals struggle
       to manage high numbers of patients — both sick with Covid-19 and
       not. ... ... Last week, Dartmouth-Hitchcock, which serves many
       Vermonters in the southern part of the state, posted on
       Facebook: “Due to the high number of COVID-19 patients in our
       hospital, we are experiencing a shortage in the staffing and
       beds needed to provide you with the most appropriate care. For
       these reasons, your surgery or procedure may be delayed
       &#129397;. Thank you for your patience
       &#129318;&#8205;&#9794;&#65039; during these challenging times.”
       Dartmouth-Hitchcock did not respond to emails with questions
       about delayed  &#128531; surgeries. On Nov. 30, the University
       of Vermont Medical Center announced it was postponing
       [b]elective ::) procedures through the end of the year [/b]to
       preserve the capacity amid surging Covid-19 cases. That decision
       delayed care for an estimated 200 to 250 &#128556; patients ,
       said hospital spokesperson Annie Mackin.[/move]
