Ed goon update: Things are getting busy and grim. We’re making protocols for who we will and will not resuscitate. Nursing homes are all infected and dumping patients on us en masse, even if they’re already DNR.

Have 2 docs out sick and one is getting worse. That crazy I mentioned that wanted a tour of the ED has been spotted around again and authorities are looking in to it. We are out of gowns. We’ve got 3 ventilators left.

Its very impressive how in a single presidential administration the entire world is going to shift from the US sphere of influence and into China's because they are a more reliable global partner.

it’s really no wonder detroit is such a hot spot. i went to pick up some groceries from my parents since i didnt wanna go to the store and i havent got a shipt order through in a week, and i’d say the majority of businesses were open as i drove by, not to mention relatively normal traffic for a friday afternoon. i saw a loving smoke shop open.

and seeing as ive now been sick for three weeks (longest sickness ever for me, by a week) with mild mystery fever and shortness of breath (never had breathing problems ever before) that keeps coming and going i wouldn't be surprised if i have it

would be nice if i could get those covid-19 test results. It's been a week, they say it might take more than 10 days. My breathing got worse than ever last night after days of feeling mostly better. Its like this poo poo is trolling me lol. Couldn't sleep because of it. Going to get a chest x-ray (wow previous doctor, thanks for saying i didnt need x-ray last week lol) and another check up at the urgent care clinic today lmao

In central florida my county has triple more cases than any other and everything is open............ I lost my job somehow in a covid layoff but it seems like everything is open. So many cars on the road, so many people. Smoke shops also open, drive thrus, gas stations, unbelievable really how ignorable this has become after a statewide mandate.....

This particularly rapid💨 unintelligible 😖patter💁 isn't generally heard🧏‍♂️, and if it is🤔, it doesn't matter💁.


Surprising nobody, nursing homes are low (a.k.a. nonexistent) on the list of places that get PPE. The results are exactly what you'd expect.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/nursing-homes-overwhelmed-coronavirus-it-impossible-us-stop-spread-n1174171

quote:

Over the past week, coronavirus infections at nursing homes have skyrocketed: More than 400 long-term care facilities around the United States now have infected residents, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — a 172 percent increase in a single week. In New York state, one in four nursing homes have cases of the virus; 1,228 residents have tested positive and 224 have died, according to a spokeswoman for the state health department.

But nursing homes have been unable to get enough protective gear and tests, in part because overwhelmed hospitals are getting the supplies first, industry executives and groups say.

"We seem to be a second-tier priority," said Stephen Hanse, president and CEO of the NYS Health Facilities Association-NYS Center for Assisted Living, which represents long-term care facilities.
...
On March 21, New York state issued an advisory stating that any nursing home residents or health workers in the New York City area with symptoms of acute respiratory illness "should be presumed to be COVID-19," and that testing for those residents "is no longer necessary."

That has made it impossible to identify and isolate all the residents who are infected from those who are not, LaRue said. "If I had my druthers, I'd do widespread testing, and I would test every employee."

Oh, and Cuomo wants to draft all medical personnel and send them to "hot spots" AKA NYC. Yes, that'll succeed.

Yeah there's been a few posts on the UK corona reddit from health care workers saying uhh I know we have more cases than officially reported. Whether its from a delay in reporting, or fudging numbers by not including say nursing home cases, or outright suppression, assume all numbers from every country are underreporting tbh - even aside from testing not covering all actual people infected

yeah, like right now I am classified as essential, but I am making safety stock because none of our product is selling and we're getting overwhelmed with returns. It's great, I love it

again, the stuff I am making isn't even being shipped to customers, it being warehoused in case customers decide that a pandemic is the time to build a new apartment complex
