They are entirely out of child intensive care units and at 99% capacity for adult ICUs.

As the delta variant of COVID-19 sweeps through Florida, hospitals in Broward are almost out of beds, an unaudited report the county published Tuesday says.

Hospitals across the county as of 11 a.m. reported that 98% of their acute care beds — beds accommodating patients for up to 18-day stays due to severe illness or injury — are now occupied, leaving just 70 of 3,270 such beds available with enough hospital staff available to properly treat patients.

They are entirely out of child intensive care units, of which there are 74, and are at 99% capacity for adult ICUs, with just 3 of 491 open for use.

Of 4,441 total staffed hospital beds in the county, just 187 are unoccupied, according to the report, which makes clear the true number of available beds “may vary significantly from the number depicted,” as hospitals may be able to add more beds and staff as needed.

Whether the rate at which Broward hospitals can add staff and beds can outpace the rate of COVID-19-positive patients being admitted remains to be seen.

There are 1,683 patients who tested positive for the virus hospitalized in Broward now. Of those, 230 are on ventilators.

COVID-19 patients now account for about half of all ventilators in use in the county.

Of 705 total ventilators Broward hospitals have on hand, 230 remain available.

School closed down by corona - only one student was met in 2nd grade

Professor predicts streak of local outbreaks, but at the same time does not believe in large repatriations.

Happy children's voices usually fill the premises at Hem School near Skive. But less than two weeks after school starts, the premises are again almost on holiday. On Tuesday, only three out of 51 students in the schooling showed up for classes. And that is due to the corona, says school principal Helle Kappel Nielsen.

- It went really well the first week after school started. We thought we were going back to normal.

Since August 9, one infected student has turned into ten, and that has sent even more students home because they are close contacts. In addition, some parents have also chosen to keep siblings at home from school.

- We must continue to believe that we get through the corona and that it gets a shape we can be in, it sounds from the headmaster, who expects to be back to normal on Monday next week.

In the large, empty classroom, Mille Esager Melgaard was today the only student from 2nd grade who could practice reading with Danish teacher Mette Nordendahl.

- It's nice that we have more time, but it's actually a little strange, says Mille.

Her teacher points out that one is trying to get the best out of the situation. Therefore, the three students and their teachers today had made lasagna for lunch.

- When we have a different day, we also have to do some different things, Mette Nordendahl explains and adds:

- We are really looking forward to the other students coming again. This is really nice, but it will be nice to get the others back.

The repatriations at Hem School are far from unique in the region. In Holstebro, the large school Rolf Krake is currently also affected by a corona outbreak. Here it has gone beyond 8.C, where 7 are reported infected, while 15 have now been sent home as close contacts.

- We had probably hoped that we could solve more so that the students could be more together across the year groups. But with the start we have got, it will be difficult. This confirms that we have to keep them in class for a little while longer, says school principal Ole Priess.

The Danish Health and Medicines Authority's director Søren Brostrøm warned even before school started that the autumn would offer an increase in infection.

- Now that the Danes are returning from summer vacation and coming back to work and school, and the last restrictions are being phased out, there will be more infection in our society, it sounded from the director in an interview with Berlingske .

The same interpretation is repeated by Lars Østergaard, professor at the Department of Clinical Medicine and chief physician of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Aarhus University Hospital. He points out that eruptions like those in Holstebro and near Skive will fill the whole country.

- It would be wishful thinking to think that we can return to something reminiscent of before the corona, he assesses.

as a floridian this just makes me crack and ping and laugh crazily

ok just for fun i'm gonna turn on the local 911 dispatch right now and see how long it takes for just my area (which does not include any big cities) to get to 5 covid or covid-like-symptoms calls

keep in mind these aren't cases, they're people desperately calling the emergency line for help because they can't loving breathe anymore or their heart is exploding

I definitely lost my vaccine card

If I wrote a fictional story where a guy starts up a second vaccine card under an alter ego, what kinds of things would he realistically have to look out for?

Forseti posted:

I have no idea what their code looks like, but it's not going to scan every row with an index there* if it's written in a way that can use the index (which yours is). Even if it did, 100k rows should be a joke to a modern server, especially with caches.

What it most likely would decide to do given your query and index is index seek at O(log*n) to get the page's worth of indexes, then retrieve the data for only those rows. Although in the case of the drop down, they shouldn't be pulling back the entire row data to populate it since it doesn't use that.

There are a lot of things you can do to speed things up, starting with at least a prepared statement so it doesn't have to go through the query planner every time. For something that gets done very frequently though they should really be using a stored procedure.

* In general. The query engine can decide that it's faster to scan depending on its statistics and what exactly the query is doing. This is one of the reasons it's important to keep the statistics up to date, which can be a nightly task (or however frequently it starts getting out of whack).

The cost of a growing thread should scale like the red line here but it's very easy to mess it up and end up with the cyan line or worse if the developer is just banging out naive code (or letting some ORM library write the code for them because SQL is "too hard")

To tie it to the thread, this stuff is depressingly similar to epidemiology from what I can tell. Paying people who know what they're doing is too hard and they also tend to tell you things you don't want to hear. Just let some dingus who doesn't know wtf a database is bang it out with the ORM for max quarterly profits.

EFFORT POST INCOMING

my advice to anyone looking for a wfh gig:

- make an email address just for job searching

- set up a google phone number or buy a burner or something if you don't want your phone number sold to every scammer and coldcalling salesperson on the planet. or be ready to change your phone number after you land a job

- make a resume. in the resume, briefly describe your wfh setup (pc specs, # of monitors if you have multiples, internet connection type and speed, etc). say you have remote work experience. (if you don't actually have remote work experience, just lie and say you do remote video captioning work on Rev or some poo poo like that. "remote work experience" is just a way of saying "i know how to use computer")

- make a nice looking linkedin profile with a picture of yourself and set it to "looking for work"

- may want to go ahead and install and (re)familiarize yourself with the common remote job programs: office, zoom, slack, teams, ringcentral

- prep ahead of time for interviews. i suck at talking to people so i made a cheat sheet with answers to common interview questions. kept me from floundering around too much. be prepared for video call interviews - get a cam and headset if you don't have them. don't sweat it if you bomb the first few interviews, just think of them as practice runs

- sign up for multiple job search sites. i used indeed, linkedin, zip recruiter, rat race rebellion, my state's employment site, and a temp agency for the field i was looking in. i liked indeed the best because they have a good remote-only search, employers have to pay to post so that cuts down on scam postings, and their mobile app made it very easy for me to spam out my resume from my phone literally all day long. it was even easy to do simple little cover letters on there because it autosaves the last one you sent, so you can just edit it a little bit each time as needed instead of writing a whole new one every time. i got the most responses from indeed and that's where i got hired from

- run searches at least once a day, multiple times a day is even better. some sites will let you set up alerts for new postings. job postings pop up quickly, but they get taken down quickly too when hundreds of resumes immediately start pouring in

- apply like crazy. apply for everything legit looking that seems tolerable, even if it's only tolerable enough to be a placeholder job until you find something else. apply for poo poo you think you probably don't have a chance in hell of getting. go loving hog wild

- if you have enough free time, start stacking up free certifications, even if they're not relevant to the jobs you're looking for. they pad out your resume nicely and it makes you look like a smart, ambitious person who is willing and able to learn new stuff

it's tiresome, it's annoying, it sucks, it will make you want to scream

but somehow even with my lovely weak rear end resume i managed to brute force my way into a fully remote job that i never expected to get, and is better paying than any loving job than i have ever had before in my entire life. not trying to brag, i'm trying to encourage and motivate the jobseekers in here. if a horrible little goony goon like me with a mostly food service background and no social skills can do it, so can you! it is possible, keep looking, don't give up!!!

now might be a better time than ever to score a good remote gig. boomers are retiring or dying out of the work force in droves. some of your potential competition is literally too loving sick to even apply for jobs right now. many companies are shifting to remote on a more permanent basis and are desperate to fill suddenly open positions
