UPSOUND (English) Billie Barker, Branson, Missouri resident: "Hey, babe." BUT LIFE HERE HAS HALTED FOR BILLIE BARKER   SOUNDBITE (English) Billie Barker, Branson, Missouri resident: "I didn't think he would make it…" SHE'S SPENT THE PAST 17 DAYS CAMPED OUTSIDE LAKE REGIONAL HOSPITAL WITH HER SIX-YEAR-OLD SON, BRODY - WATCHING HELPLESSLY AS HER HUSBAND BATTLED COVID-19. SOUNDBITE (English) Billie Barker, Branson, Missouri resident: "Him being able to see us made him fight more to be here." UPSOUND (English) Chris Murphy, Registered Nurse: "When you take a deep breath in..." DARYL BARKER IS 31 – WITH NO PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS – AND GIVEN A 20 PERCENT CHANCE OF SURVIVAL BY DOCTORS WHEN HE CAME INTO LAKE REGIONAL STRUGGLING TO CATCH HIS BREATH. SOUNDBITE (English) Daryl Barker, Branson, Missouri resident: "It was the hardest thing I've had to do because I couldn't break a promise to my wife and my kid but there's a lot of times that I wanted to quit." AS THE DELTA VARIANT SPREADS, ICUS ACROSS MISOURRI ARE FILLING UP. SINCE THE BEGINNING OF JUNE, HOSPITALIZATIONS HAVE MORE THAN DOUBLED ACROSS THE STATE. ICU ADMITTANCE HAS MORE THAN TRIPLED. SOUNDBITE (English) Dr. Harbaksh Sangha, Chief Medical Officer, Lake Regional Hospital: "A lot of people who are very sick and are dying." AND THEY'RE YOUNGER. 50 PERCENT OF LAKE REGIONAL'S COVID PATIENTS ARE UNDER AGE 59.   SOUNDBITE (English) Dr. Harbaksh Sangha, Chief Medical Officer, Lake Regional Hospital: "The younger population who is not vaccinated, they become very sick and the mortality of that population is high too this time around." SOUNDBITE (English) Sarah Blake Morgan, The Associated Press: "Before coming down with COVID, both Daryl and Billie chose not to be vaccinated. They said they were worried about all the unknowns. But three weeks here in the hospital has changed their minds." SOUNDBITE (English) Daryl Barker, Branson, Missouri resident: "I was strongly against getting the vaccine. Just because we're a strong conservative family. But that little boy out there is a reason to have a vaccine." IN THE FIRST 22 DAYS OF JULY – 23 PEOPLE DIED HERE AT LAKE REGIONAL. MOST WERE UNVACCIANTED. SOUNDBITE (English) Billie Barker, Branson, Missouri resident: "Any side effects that you're going to have from being vaccinated are way better than having to do this." WHEN DARYL WILL BE RELEASED IS STILL UNKNOWN. AND UNTIL HE IS - BILLIE AND BRODY WILL SIT HERE – SEPARATED BY GLASS. SOUNDBITE (English) Daryl Barker, Branson, Missouri resident: "I'm that little boy's hero. I'm the strongest person that he knows. Right now, he could come in here and he could take me." THE PANDEMIC, PAUSING THIS FAMILY'S LIFE – AS SO MUCH OF THE WORLD CONTINUES ON WITHOUT THEM.
