COVID-19 Pandemic (Coronavirus)

[High quality poster]

Its so foul what they doing in the penitentiary to these dudes smh

We suppose to care about criminals at a time like this?

 

[Dr. Acula]

because clinics are closed
majority of the time hospitals are full because patients come to the hospitals for appointment. Now Drs are doing virtual appartments and most non essential surgeries are postponed it's "empty"

Secondly many hospital staff administrative/finance etc who can work remotely are working from home

Thirdly most hospitals are not allowing visitors, so becky with the baby who had 20 fam members come to visit her now just has her husband.

Plus even if you test positive for covid you go home, you only go to the hospital and becom ea inpatient if your symptoms are horrible

Also, to add, elective surgeries and procedures are canceled to prepare for the uptick in cases. For a lot of places, their elective procedures are their bread and butter more than emergency cases. Some hospitals are slow because they are not impacted yet while some are overflowing. A lot of people are working as "on call status". This is to prepare for eventual increase in cases.

To be honest, its better to be overprepared than underprepared. Because you can't walk back being underprepared. THere may be some places in the country that will be able to handle the amount of cases they get or won't run into danger of being overrun. For example, and I think Trump made this point which is one of the true things he says every now and then, that a sparsely populated place may not have to worry about this as much. Because if one person is infected, its much easier to isolate them. These people may not see heavy spikes.

Going to ask since you are in the thick of it. If someone has COVID-19 and is severe/critical, what communication does their family have with them? Can they call the hospital or is it strictly via cell phone? Is the ward with COVID-19 patients closed off to authorized personel who work in that area only?

i've actually worked on a couple of covid handbooks lemme screen shot. We've only had one covid death so far at my hospital

yup exactly
And that's another great point you added, many hospitals mine included don't have alot of isolation (private rooms). Usually just in ER , maternity/post partum/ ICU. And if a patient has covid and need hospitalization you need them in a private room not a ward.

Thanks for the info. I did see I think a few posts up a DR holding a cell phone for a patient.

that's why they are converting whole wards, not just rooms.

Where I live, a lot of hospitals have been converting all units to have private rooms only (so no more shared rooms) that can be capable of being converted into negative air pressure rooms. This has been taking place over a couple years, so not directly related to covid-19. But I know that's not something all hospitals can do, but this is what should be done in the future.

Just went out for my daily exercise, seriously the general public are a disgrace. Just an appalling disregard for social distancing at a time where it's crucial.

People might be saying the same thing about you when they see you out jogging. It's a bunch of people that felt they needed to get out for their daily routine all pointing the finger at each other
