  • How are hospitals doing?

    Seems like they are doing better since the mask mandate and the vaccine being rolled out with some type of competence

      But putting 3000 people in a hefty bag and huffing each others germs for a week. Never again.
      Can't disagree with either of you, but with all of the cruises we have been on, we have seen first hand how they deal with realities. And I've seen some studies that some of the more modern ships have much better air handling than they are given credit for. The specific examples that were studied were the newest ships that we cruise on normally.

      Touching food stuff, though....

        “Cases” and hospitalizations peeked months ago and have been plummeting since.

        And “Seems like they are doing better...”

        They are wide open.

        Mask usage hasn’t changed one iota if anything it is more lax.

        And that’s around the World.

        Another who makes a virus political and eliminates themself from any serious discussion.

          here in Maine we are still supply limited and aren’t having problems finding willing people to vaccinate.
          That is what Michigan appears to be doing now. They will be opening it up to people 50+ on March 22nd. It is at least the easiest way to verify if someone is eligible as most (yes, not all) people have a state issued ID that includes birthdate.
          I don't like it though, because that means I have to wait for the 30s crowd (as I am just shy of 39...will be 39 by the time my turn comes around). The question for me is how many more outbreaks does my workplace have before than, and how long until it gets to the 30+ age group?

            Hospitalizations are dropping nicely. As the US has focused on those most vulnerable, those most likely to end up admitted are now less likely to contract it at all and much much much less likely to have a severe case. This is spectacularly good news.

              I have read that our mitigation techniques on Covid have kept our normal glut of Flu hosptializations down drastically. I assume that's true. And isn't that exactly what we need to do? Cause if we had had Covid and a normal flu season would that not have overwhelmed the system entirely?

                One person in the entire state of North Dakota in the icu because of Covid.

                I am sure they all started wearing masks unison and taking it seriously all at the exact same time. Doubt it had anything to do with a virus behaving like every other one known to man.

                Looked it up, mast mandate ended on 1/18.

                This is great news. Unfortunately for many, they would be more excited and giddy if they could point to a more fearful, hysterical story.

                Disgusting really.

                  I thought our lack of mitigation techniques and compliance were the problem? Now they saved us?

                    It might have? One thing the nitwits continue to ignore is that when hospitals have to move to surge capacity they obviously lose the ability for normal procedures to happen. PACUs are converted to ICUs. Procedural areas like CT rooms, GI labs, heart catheters are converted to patient rooms, etc. So none of the normal care gets to happen, which is bad for population health and absolutely horrible for hospital budgets. COVID does not pay the bills.

                    We're also a year into this and I find the selfishness insane. You want to go eat at a restaurant and go to the gym, so f the nurses, techs, doctors, schedulers, IT folks, aids, transport staff, janitors and anyone else involved in patient care can get ***.

                      Thank you. Exactly as I figured but it's nice to talk to someone who knows and is involved.

                          You are selfish you whack job. Stay at home if you would like. Quit fetishizing over what others do with their lives, especially healthy people.

                          And what is it with CovidZombies and gyms? We are an overweight as F nation and it ties into just about every health issue. And ding, ding, it is highly correlated with bad Covid outcomes.

                          Healthy People going to a gym isn’t causing people to get sick you selfish whack job.

                          • Also, influenza and other respiratory bugs are at historically low levels. So obviously masks and social distancing has effects.

                              Yeah, that is the conclusion my mother and I came to on the phone the other day. Seems to be entirely logical.
