'A perfect storm' brewing for Missouri's metro hospitals as rural facilities strain to meet

Earlier this month, Misty Traver of Willow Springs, Missouri, heard a sound she won't likely forget. Her husband of nearly 25 years, who had tested positive for COVID-19, was dry heaving. "And he went to stand up. And that's when he passed out and I caught him. He had kind of hit his head on the wall," Traver said. Her husband, Kent, is 50, and Misty says his only preexisting condition is Restless Leg Syndrome.
