wtf how do you use more beds than you have



The numbers places report are "staffed beds." That means they have enough personnel to give the baseline level of care to those patients. There's other beds, but then you have nurses taking more patients than they're supposed to, which reduces the care each patient gets and increases time between checks so you get stuff like that guy lying on his junk so long they had to amputate it.

Everyone's expecting the collapse to be hospitals just turning away droves of sick people. It's more like they're going to keep wedging people in until everybody's standard of care falls through the floor as fewer and fewer nurses have to manage more and more patients with fewer and fewer resources.

This is because healthcare providers are good people (generally) and genuinely do want to save people, and we were able to carry the first wave through people going above and beyond. But that human reserve that got us through the last one is rapidly depleting in the face of dumbshit citizenry and dumbshit governance, so...

how do you get the anonymous vax at cvs, for a third shot? Don't they ask you for an ID, SSN, or do anything to confirm identity?

In 2019 when my roommate had her surgery I did note that when she was recovering there were connections for a second bed, despite all the rooms in that ward being single occupancy. I remember at the time speculating that was for the unlikely event of a disaster :lol:

For almost a decade I ran an ultimate frisbee league which used university fields (Concordia) but was open to both students and the public. We last played on March 8th, 2020.

Some players reached out to ask if we were starting up again. Before replying "lol, no" I went to check the uni website and see if anything had been updated recently.

Oh


Oh goddamnit you idiots

Welp, time to start raising hell.

Just run the league normally and say people can go maskless if they know they'll be 6 foot distanced, then drop your shoulder through them as you catch the frisbee and stare them down when they're on the ground

they don't know all alien abduction experiences can be explained by people thinking saving private ryan was a documentary

That girl trembling triggered a memory, back in high school there was a clique of girls who all did that when they "got too hungry", they would claim they were all "hypoglycemic" and start just twitching like that collectively when lunch got close or they had to skip snacks.

Of course hypoglycemia is a fictional disease and they always needed "sugar for my hypoglycemia" and would eat candy all day.

DING! DING! DING!

It also has the huge side benefit (for them) of giving their followers a shorthanded way to appeal to authority without pretending to. "Don't you Trust The Science?!?!?!" essentially means, "I can't argue the actual point, so you should just shut up and do whatever the CDC says because they know best."

check out these three sentences in a row from a report on de blasio's press conference from yesterday.

Touting the “Vax to School” effort, the mayor called the effort a cornerstone of getting kids safely back to physical classrooms in the nation’s largest public school district.

"We want people to feel this is the moment for kids to get vaccinated,” de Blasio said.

But de Blasio said vaccines would not be mandatory for returning public school students returning to in-person classrooms.

my work is being stubborn and is basically trying to torpedo my homeschooling plan by insisting that my work schedule isn't nearly as flexible as they first implied. part of the reason they gave was because other people have been quitting and so they need others to fill in the schedule gaps

feeling pretty close to going for the nuclear option and just quitting and laughing in their faces as it dawns on them how hosed they are now that most of their staff is loving gone, but goddamn it would be hard to find wfh employment on short notice

just matches on the peak of both. I know I at least was expecting the ratio to change this wave, but so far it really isn't. my initial guess is that vaccinated people aren't really testing either, so it's still primarily testing and deaths of unvaccinated people

outdoor outlets fully masked in LA. Gap and banana republic had the best feeling poo poo this season. went right at opening, not very crowded, and honestly shocked at how good masked compliance was. Occasionally a small kid running around without one, but most adults was wearing one basically proper, and I even saw some solid in 95s out there too. Coincidentally, everybody I saw wearing an N 95 was a minority. The more overweight and white they were the less likely they were to wear one properly.

my asian/indian coworkers started buying masks and n95-equivalents and started wearing them in jan 2020. it was kind of interesting when one of them was like 'the news from back home is not good' while the white coworkers were just like it'll die down in a month or so, just another sars
