What's the maximum overall/ICU bed capacity numbers, anyway (ignoring most of the labor force getting sick/quitting from burnout)? :thunk:

**NEW RECORD**

Florida breaks record for new coronavirus cases as positivity rate surges

quote:

Florida on Friday and Saturday reported its largest single-day increases of new coronavirus cases, driven by the spread of the omicron variant, according to the Associated Press.

The December surge has come with a rush to get tested ahead of the holidays. That trend continued after Christmas. Many retail testing outlets were booked solid so people turned to government facilities as they returned from travel or concluded visits with famlity and friends.

The West Tampa Neighborhood Service Center had a line wrapped around the building for much of Sunday, as residents waited to get tested the day after Chrstmas, according to Tampa television station WTSP.

At a drive-thru testing site at Barnett Park in Orlando on Sunday, hundreds of people waited in their cars in the dark before it opened, and it reached capacity by midday.

“We just got back from the plane and everybody was coughing so we really wanted to see if we had COVID,” Yaree Pierre told Orlando television station WFTV.

The state reported 31,758 new coronavirus cases on Friday and 32,850 on Saturday, breaking a record for the most cases in a single day, according to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The previous single-day highest number of cases was in August, during the height of the delta variant wave in Florida, when 27,802 cases were reported.

The number of cases reported last week in Florida grew by 320% percent compared to the previous week, according to data released by the state Department of Health on Friday.

The positivity rate for the week also more than doubled from 5.4% last week to 13.8% this week.

The seven-day average for new cases was 21,125 on Saturday, passing 20,000 for the first time since the peak of the delta surge.

The state's COVID-19 death toll now stands at 62,342, up 122 from a week earlier. That's compared to 194 new deaths recorded last week.

Researchers have said the omicron variant is highly contagiou and has shown mild symptoms in most patients. Long-term health issues with the variant are unknown. Public health officials continue to stress the importance of vaccination to minimize the threat to health care systems.

Even this guidance is extremely desperate and cutting it more won't matter. We're at the point where the limiting factor now will be the fact that a lot of people are just going to be too sick to go to work regardless of guidance.

Looking forward to people collapsing on the job in the next few weeks because their bosses won't listen when they say they can't get out of bed.

They're saying the positivity rate is artificially high because they've urged only symptomatic people, close contacts and rapid positives to get a PCR.

Yes, those are only PCR positives.

seeing a lot of people saying they have lower back pain as a “mild” omicron symptom and very worried about what that really means given what we know COVID does to kidneys

Covid kidneys are real. My gf's dad got covid while unvaccinated last year and complained about back pain. He was concerned it was his kidneys. His sister who is a MD said in his case it was more likely just the virus/his immune response causing more than usual inflammation in his bad back.

Oddly when I got my second Pfizer shot, I definitely remember my lower back and my one bad knee that I injured hiking a few years ago hurt for a day.

I'd definitely be very concerned if someone with no history of back pain complains about it as a covid symptom though

National US hospitalizations. We're just hitting the on-ramp for this peak and the numbers look pretty incredibly bad. NY hospitalizations especially.
