Some schools in Washington are closing for a day to do a teacher in-service around remote teaching.
Earlier in the year, a number of schools were closed for a week here in Tennessee because of the flu.Originally Posted by Guisslapp
6 have died in Washington now.
The folks in that same nursing home are falling fast.
Doctor Radio opines that more than 100,000 in US have or have had Covid-19 since 01/01/2020 with more than 80% be asymptomatic and that the very old (>90) and the compromised and untreated for the compromised condition will be the hardest hit demographic.
I'm an asshole! What's your excuse?
But Pawdawg assured us it couldn’t happen here.
No I didn't. I've already told you I was referring to your statement about how understaffed we were when you compared our medical care (intensive care) to China.
Are these people dying in the US ever even making it to intensive care?
Yes, almost all of them are being treated at the same hospital (EvergreenHealth in Kirkland).
I never said we were understaffed, but we might not have enough ICU beds in communities that get hit.
ICU beds can be increased if needed. Not in China though. Are those dying here even being admitted to ICU? I’m guessing no
My daughter is an neuro ICU nurse at Parkland hospital here in Dallas. She said that they have "negative pressure" isolation rooms on her floor, that would receive patients suspected of coronavirus. There are 3 other ICU groups that would also potentially receive patients. She's a little nervous, but I told her that if they cannot contain the spread of the virus once it hits the hospital with all of their infectious protocols, then there is no hope for rest of us.
ETA: They currently don't have anyone with the virus.
King County, Washington is buying a motel and converting mobile units they procured for homeless to help with isolation.
Isolation is not ICU. Not even close.
I didn’t say it was. I was just posting the latest news tidbits.
