As space runs out in hospitals amid COVID's worst surge yet, who receives treatment and who doesn't could come down to healthcare systems that aren't free of implicit bias.
Gov. Roy Cooper moved Monday to close loopholes in the state’s mask mandate and require masks in indoor settings, as well as outdoors when with non-household members.
The surges are so severe that in Idaho, one hospital reached 99% capacity last week, while medical centers in Kansas City, Missouri, were recently forced to reject ambulances because they lacked space for patients.
