I went on a walk for lunch and passed by a Starbucks that was suspiciously empty that usually has a massive line for the drive thru backed up into the street. I saw there was a sandwich board with a sign in the drive thru that said they were closed until further notice because they were out of food. As far as I'm aware that food distributor in Centralia WA closing due to Covid is the cause.

My patient was dying and I had to hit the Big Blue Button, which means 2 MDs, a respiratory therapist, and a gaggle of other nurses rushed into the room. I jumped on the bed to start chest compressions (I'm small and the bed didn't have a CPR lever so it was a bit too high for me) and the RT takes their position at head of the bed. He suctions the patient and we get a MASSIVE flash, about 0.5 liters, of BLOOD. It's in the suction canister and now pooling in the tubing of the ventilator itself.

Our protocol is: if a patient is covid+ and on a ventilator, DO NOT BREAK THE CIRCUIT TO ADMINISTER RESUSCITATION BREATHS! Only do drugs/chest compressions/shocks. Well, we're supremely short staffed which means we have traveler RTs who don't know our protocols, and this motherfucker not only breaks the circuit, but does so BEFORE TURNING OFF THE VENTILATOR!!!! He unhooks the patient and then says "how do I turn this thing off?" meanwhile aerosolizing all that blood. Everyone and everything in that room got sprayed.

By the end of the code there was a liter of blood in the canister and the patient did not make it.

I "failed" my N95 fit test so I'm guaranteed a CAPR. To be fair, I legit failed the fit test the first time around, so this time I just cut the process short and "failed" it right away. I'm eternally grateful I did so because there was definitely blood splattered on the face shield.

I'm still genuinely curious how airborne precautions aren't being commonly used for SARS-CoV-2 positive patients, given that we know that this virus is airborne. Aerosolized blood shouldn't be a big deal if everyone is in proper airborne precaution PPE, right?

I assume these precautions aren't being followed because there's not enough equipment for everyone, but then we should at least be explicit about it.

I'm not an infectious disease specialist by any stretch of the imagination but I imagine the risk is relatively low if everyone is in N95s, since the eyeballs are really the only "exposed" part given that people wear non-sealing face shields. While it's technically possible to get it that way I really want to believe it's unlikely

At least one person in the room got a religious exemption from the jab (and went around telling people how easy it was so that they could get one too). He's probably fine too, but he was doing compressions when the RT accidentally popped off part of the ambu bag valve and exposed us all for a second time lololol

Thankfully i was CAPR'd and vaxxed

3rd street for life
Trip report for my first Moderna dose (I had 2 pfizers previously). Walked in to Wal-Greens and asked for a first dose of Moderna. I used my real name and birthdate, but did not provide insurance / DL info and did not have to show ID, so I probably should have gone the Max Titers route and made something up.

I immediately came up on their computer because my name was already in their system for the rewards program. The girl at the counter seemed relieved because I guess whatever they put the info in generally takes a few minutes and they had had problems getting the person in front of me through the system? I have no idea what, if anything, they are processing if you don't have insurance. Anyway, they rang me up for $0 and there were like 2 other people in front of me so I had to wait a few minutes, but I was in and out in about half an hour.

So far no issues with the shot a few hours out, but it took about 8 hours for the body pain to kick in after dose 2 so it's still early.

Negative case growth rates would be something to celebrate; I don't see why you'd break into your hopium supplies over lower but still positive case growth rates. Also, is NH even testing all that much. Probably tons of free-state weirdos getting infected and not testing.
