"It's going to be a rough winter": Hospitals overwhelmed by pediatric patients with respiratory virus

Hospitals in 33 states are seeing a dramatic rise in children suffering from the respiratory virus called respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Cases have more than doubled in 25 states, putting a strain on hospitals — with some facilities so overwhelmed, they're running out of beds.

At Connecticut Children's hospital, doctors said they're slammed with a surge in RSV cases. Dr. John Brancato told CBS News that every inch of the emergency room is filled, and the hospital is considering putting a tent on the front lawn to handle the overflow.

The state of Connecticut is even thinking of bringing in the National Guard.
