One of my locations at work is experiencing more cases every day. Critical people are being taken off the floor. Projects are being shut down. I spoke with one of the managers today and she sounded exhausted from dealing with it. N95s now required to be on site. I will not be going to that location.
Wife's hospital is now floating nurses off the MH floors (and others) to where ever they are needed in the hospital. Then floating them back. A COVID+ patient was just admitted to one of the MH units. And someone knew they were positive. Not just sick, not symptomatic, a known positive. My wife still isn't given an n95 for daily use. Just a surgical mask. I think we're going to have a long difficult conversation about what our options are.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

We might actually be seeing a type of survival of the fittest. Natural selection was ended by modern medicine. But with finite resources Earth's carrying capacity of humans is still strained and Mother Nature always finds a way.
Enter cultural selection. It is possible that in the absence of physical mutations causing selection differences we will now see cultural mutations perform the same function. Conservatism has always carried selection costs and benefits.
Survival Costs of Conservatism:
lower education --> worse decision making
higher religiosity --> less leveraging of science and reason
greater fear and aggression --> higher likelihood of violent death in war or domestic violence
less mental flexibility --> more dangerous work, higher morbidity across all behaviors
Survival Benefits of Conservatism:
reducing women to slave breeding stock --> an explosion of offspring
higher religiosity --> ineptitude at birth control
Like rabbits, lemmings, or opossums, the huge brood compensates for greater morbidity.Last edited by Kepler; 12-02-2020, 06:22 PM.Cornell University

Originally posted by dxmnkd316 View PostCoworker's brother works at a big hospital. This is far worse than what's in the news. They're already beyond capacity. They're already rationing care. Apocalyptic is how the ICU doc described it. Patients get intubated and sit or lay in the hallway until someone else dies and gives up their bed.
It's not just vents they're out of, it's everything else too.
In April, the state had 1,244 ICUs ready.
Today, that number has shrunk to 1,212.
Meanwhile Minnesota has received $4.1 billion in covid funding…
Where has the money gone? Where are the questions?
Oh and amazingly there were 1,848 ICU beds just a week ago. Now the number reads 1,212. That is one way to play with the numbers to keep the CovidZombies *****ng themselves 24/7.
And shutting down hospitals in Oct/Nov.? Good move.

Pretty much every hospital system in the state has a direct interface with the DPH, some report numbers daily in data dumps and others (like we do, and other Epic users) do it in real time. The state page isn't updated in real time, I think that's updated mid-afternoon. But I've never seen anything that looked fishy. And they've been super communicative about issues (like when we got zapped with a ransomware attack in July and didn't have data for about 36 hours) and holiday pauses.
I firmly believe Baker would have closed restaurants again (except for takeout) except for the fact that the state is out of money and there's no indication that McConnell or the useless outgoing president will allow for additional financial help. Baker is making the rational decision that COVID + closures and foreclosures is worse than COVIDplus + open businesses. I'm not sure I agree, but it's a rational decision in a ridiculous situation. Other local governors seem to be coming to the same conclusion.I gotta little bit of smoke and a whole lotta wine...

BTW the US passed 100k hospitalizations. I mean they don't matter cause they aren't dead and no one sees them but that seems rather significant."It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."
