Coronavirus Thread: Worldwide Pandemic

[the cac mamba]

I asked my mom the other day if she has the ability to reject doing a case or working if she feels unsafe. According to her, the administration at her hospital, so far, has been giving them a lot of leeway of how they can handle cases and said if they feel it is unsafe to do a case they can cancel or postpone. That gave me some relief.

They have a few cases at her hospital now but she said they get a daily notice of how well they are doing on supplies and things like that everyday and she says they've been status "green" so far which is the best they can be at right now.

My fear is that once this starts building up in her area that the administration she was talking about is going to start walking back and forcing doctors to work in unsafe conditions. I understand that to a degree but when you know someone personally who may be impacted by that, you can't help but think selfishly.

i fully support any nurse who says fukk this if they arent sent in with the proper equipment they dont owe us that

HCA is our biggest customer. I've been speaking with their DC/supply chain folks for days straight now. Their FL DC is yelling the loudest, not sure what that may ultimately mean.

Coronavirus Updates: Some COVID-19 Patients In New York Have Now Spent A Month On Ventilators

To mention my mother again, she worked with an intensivist who told her about a week or two ago that all the patients who have come in and were ventilated were dying. Pretty much once you're on a ventilator, your chances of recovery are very low. If that trends elsewhere, these people aren't coming off those ventilators unless its through death, unfortunately...

Give it a couple of weeks unfortunately. Got an email this morning from Raytheon that we have an exemption from the state that we're essential personnel. Corporate greed is going to get alot of people fukked over. Cases continue to rise in the 757.

Just you wait. All the real non-essential businesses staying open are gonna get a swift dose of karma.
