hoping this is all overblown because i would much rather have to listen to annoying MAGA shitheads talk about how we overreacted than have to stare at images of mass graves

we're like 1/10th into the crisis and the only thing determining what's 'overblown' is how far the chuds can move the goalposts

under 15 dead was good, then 100k, 200k, a million, 2 mill...

Ohio is a lovely red state with a chud governor, but he made a good call to unilaterally cancel elections and close down most of the state before most others. The diverging numbers compared to neighbor Michigan make it clear.

https://covidtracking.com/us-daily/ which breaks down days as going 5:01pm EDT the day before to 5:00 pm EDT the day of gives the actual amount of tests done

Sun March 29 - 20,827 positives, 95,647 tests, 21.8% positive results

the number of tests we're running each day has plateaued and so we're not growing in confirmed cases as fast as we were, but now the rate of positive test results has been steadily on the rise

today's numbers:

Mon March 30 - 21,469 positives, 113,503 tests, 18.9% positive results

better than yesterday, i guess? still not great!

Tues March 31 - 24,240 positives, 104,117 tests, 23.3% positve results


seems like maybe we should be testing more than just 100,000ish people a day.

Day 10

"How many for you?" "Two." "Of twelve? Not so bad."

88F w/PMH of HTN, prediabetes, Afib (on Coumadin) presented w/ a 3 day hx of progressive SoB, cough and subjective fevers. Found to be COVID-19 positive. Hospital course significant for clinical deterioration during stay requiring supplemental O2 via NRB. Repeat CXR 3/29/20 showed interval development of diffuse increased interstitial markings concerning for multifocal B/L PNA. Pt started on comfort measures but was found to be…



Let’s start over.

There once was a woman who lived a really long time. Let’s call her Ethel; she looks like an Ethel.

Like any octogenarian, Ethel had a few health issues, for which she took exactly seven pills each morning. It sounds like she lived a full life. We only really know that she was a NON-SMOKER and LIVES AT HOME. No one wrote down anything more than that in the box that’s supposed to summarize Ethel’s social life. She had a husband who was her emergency contact. There’s no box to check if they loved one another, but it’s probably a given that this theoretical box would house a neat little checkmark inside. She had at least one daughter, whose name probably could be found in a chart under "Most Favorite Person in the World."

Unlike other octogenarians, Ethel never visited the hospital. She saw doctors, sure (that was the price of growing old) but as far back as the computer can look, there’s no record of her ever setting foot inside the Emergency Room, up until ten days ago at least.

Ten days ago she came to the hospital because it was getting harder to breathe. She also had a fever and her muscles were always sore, but it was the huffing and puffing that scared her enough to head in. She got some oxygen and was given a room inside the hospital all to herself. She got that room because she had COVID – that virus which was causing the whole world to go crazy and her neighborhood to shut down. But the nurses were kind and the food wasn’t so bad. The oxygen helped her breathe. She was getting those drugs the President said would cure COVID. She probably liked the President. She sure liked to watch the News on TV.

On her third day in the hospital, a doctor came by and explained that since she needs a mask to breathe, if things got worse, the next step would have to be putting her to sleep and hooking her up to machines to keep her alive. Ethel didn’t want that. But her Most Favorite Person in the World would want her to FIGHT, so she reluctantly said she would be ok with a plastic tube down her throat. But the doctor said that this was Ethel’s choice, not her daughter’s, and it was an important one. He left the room so she could decide what to do.

The form she signed was bright pink. It had boxes on it that housed neat little checkmarks next to DO NOT REVIVE and DO NOT INTUBATE.

Ethel continued to take her medications and continued to breathe with a mask. Sometimes the very nice nurses would tell her to lie on her belly because it would help her breathe better. It was getting harder to breathe, even with the mask. Ethel thought the medications were making it harder to breathe, but believed once she completed the five days, she would start feeling better and could go home.

Those five days came and went. She wasn’t feeling better and could not go home. Another doctor came by and explained that her specialty was helping people feel better towards the end of their lives (which was only a possibility in her case, not something written in stone.) Ethel liked the morphine this other doctor gave her because it made it easier to breathe. Ethel did not like the anxiety pills this other doctor gave her because they made her drowsy.

One day the same doctor she saw right before signing the bright pink form came to visit her again. He said she was going to die. Ethel was very angry at this because she thought she was doing better. She said some things which in the bigger scheme of things aren’t that important. But really she just wanted the doctor to call her family to tell them what was going on.

Ethel got more and more morphine. She kept asking for it so often that the nice nurses put a machine in her room that gave her morphine around the clock.

Ethel couldn’t or maybe didn’t want to answer the doctor’s questions anymore.

Ethel was very tired during the day, so she mostly slept.

Ethel went to sleep one afternoon and didn’t wake up.





227 of 257 patients in the hospital are COVID positive. 41 COVIDS on ventilators. The ICU has expanded to the Cath lab. We’re out of ventilators, I think.

The passing of "Ethel" today marks the first patient formerly under my team’s care to be killed by COVID.

It’s so much easier to write fiction than it is to write about how angry and sorry I feel.

I open up my email and the first one is titled "Heroes" and I want to pound the desk and go for a walk anywhere outside of these walls without a goddamn mask on my face.

I don’t want to humanize my patients more by imagining their lives outside their rooms back when they were healthy.

I don’t want to do the hard, right thing and be honest and get hurt.

I don’t want to see my patients be put on ventilators and/or die.

But I will. I have to.

The countries handling it the best so far (Germany and South Korea) have a CFR of around 1 and 1.6% respectively. They are doing extensive testing and their hospital systems are not overwhelmed. Probably minimal healthcare worker casualties.

Even granting a 1% CFR or even less, there's no way that the US keeps this thing to much less than 50% of the population, so even in an ideal and realistic scenario you're looking at close to a million dead.
