Hospitals are certainly being choosier at this point. We are also trying to avoid transfers and help the smaller hospitals take care of complicated patients without transfer.

Luckily, I got my second N95 since August. Only took being on inpatient service and seeing numerous Covid positive patients.

ND can't keep up with processing the death certificates.

Worldometers has been using the higher number, so it doesn’t change the 1 in 800 number.

i believe the “backlog” has to do with the state trying to figure out the actual cause of death. The state has been tracking and publicly reporting two numbers all along with respect to hospitalizations— those hospitalized with Covid and those hospitalized because of Covid. They are trying to do the same for deaths — those who died with Covid and those who died because of Covid. Don’t worry though. Most places monitoring the count in each state have been reporting the higher number, although apparently not the group you linked about.

It’s too bad that North Dakota’s testing fell off a cliff sometime this summer. Even without ideal amounts of people wearing a mask, that would have helped. I read Burgum blamed the lack of a coordinated response at the federal level on the shortage of supplies to the state.
