“I think concerned is an understatement,” Dr. Mark Siedner, an infectious disease expert at Mass General Hospital told WBZ.

With hospitalizations approaching 1,400, Siedner said we’re not near where we were last Spring, but he’s concerned about the rate at which hospitalizations are increasing. “It’s only a matter of time if this trend continues,” Siedner said. “I think we’re at the point where we need to start pleading with people. You know, there is a breaking point here. We can’t continue on like this. There’s a maximum number of hospital beds, there’s a maximum number of ICU beds.”
