University of Illinois had a big flagship routine testing program for all students and staff last year. After an initial small surge in the fall, it actually worked pretty well all things considered to keep the campus open for in-person learning with minimal COVID risk.

They're doing testing again this year. Unless you're Verified Vaccinated, then you don't need to. LOL.

yeah some studies were showing canada and the UK might have actually lucked into a better outcome than israel and the US by waiting about 8 weeks between shots. but it was pre-delta and i dunno if that still really stands now

So when power goes out we often have to have family on standby to bag ventilated patients because generators are notorious for failing when you need them.

Yes, there are a few different "code" statuses.

Full code means you want CPR, intubation, the works.

Intubate only means no CPR, just the breathing tube.

DNI means Do Not Intubate, but yes CPR.

DNR means Do Not Resuscitate - just lemme die

Not quite a code status, but there's CMO, which means comfort measures. We give you awesome drugs like fentanyl, versed, propofol, morphine, ativan...whatever you want to keep you comfortable as you pass

ECMO is what they put a patient on when they need to perform open heart surgery and they try to limit the minutes spent on ECMO as much as possible due to complications.

I can't imagine being on ECMO because your lungs broke for three weeks is going to leave much upstairs even if you can technically breathe again.
