The state health department reported 2,392 new cases of COVID-19 Dec. 13, and, as has become common on Mondays, zero more deaths. Hospital use continues to be high, with only 6% of all inpatient beds available in Arizona hospitals; there are 75 available adult ICU beds in the state.

The Show spoke with one of them, Morgan Prescott. She’s been an ICU nurse for four years and is currently the charge nurse in the COVID-19 ICU at Valleywise Medical Center.
The conversation began by asking what it’s been like for her over the last nearly two years.
