COVID-19

The part I am salty about is they won't test her until she's symptomatic. So she's back on the non-COVID floors today, along with everyone else she is teamed with that also worked on that patient last week. Gee. I can't figure out why we can't get a handle on this.
I hope she's okay.

Re: your latter point, that's asinine. A similar thing happened with a friend of mine. She went to her son's house for his birthday, had a meal with them, cake, etc. Two days later her son and his wife both tested positive for covid. My friend works in the local hospital and called human resources to tell them what happened. They told her to keep coming in to work and to not get tested unless she became symptomatic. :face:

And in keeping with my last comment, Gov Newsom is expected to lift regional safer-at-home orders today, and return California to the color-coded tier system.

Much of LA County is still at a fraction of 1% ICU bed capacity.

I went to a place that had zero questions asked. Walked in, they asked for my information (name, DOB, etc...) and I got my nose swabbed and sent away. I just called them since I hadn't heard (tested on Thursday) and they said, "Your results came back negative."

I'm sure I'll get something in writing at some point. She should try finding somewhere else to get tested.

My wife made it four days at Forbes before working with a COVID patient on a non-COVID floor. She worked with the patient in the morning and then their chart was COVID flagged when she went to update it at lunch time with the session notes. That was 5 days after getting her first shot of the vaccine so she won't have had time to build up immunity. She was wearing regular, non-COVID PPE. Hopefully, that was enough.

Should be, but who knows. I mentioned before that she's there to learn PT acute care. But they're so short-staffed she's doing orderly **** to help out. It's a mess. **** Forbes.

This is common at UPMC too. They basically don't give a **** about the workers. It's get in here unless you are positive, we don't care if you have the symptoms or have been in contact with a positive person.

Two questions:

1. How long has CA been in this latest lockdown? Since November?

2. Can you give two cents as to why, after a month or two, there has been little to no improvement to ICU capacity?

Not trolling, not doubting, I just don't get it.
1 - First one was bout 2 weeks prior to Thanksgiving, and then there was a more strict one handed down in the first week of December. The idea was to issue the orders ahead of holiday travel periods, and that did not work as intended.

2 - Capacity is calculated by a formula that takes into account available beds, % of COVID patients in a region that are in ICU, and headcount to monitor those beds, and I'm sure a few other things like daily new cases. LA County has a little under 100 ICU beds open right now, but we show 0% capacity because nearly 70% of hospitalized COVID patients are in the ICU, and that knocks our effective capacity down by 20%. The two biggest impediments we're facing is explosive rates of transmission (we have neighborhoods in the city with daily caseloads that have been consistently over 4,000/100,000 since early December), and a lack of medical staff to man additional beds; it doesn't matter if you can triple bed count if you don't have anyone to monitor the patients. And because of that case count issue, we're just tapped out on staffing.

Absent a monumental surge in vaccination rates, I'm not expecting parks to be open until very late 2021 at the earliest.

That makes sense considering that WV is doing the best job in the country at vaccine distribution. Time to get in there and foul it up.

My MIL got her first shot on Friday and my sister should be getting her second this week. My parents have put their names on every list they can find to hopefully get theirs in the next few weeks. I’m waiting (not so) patiently for 1b to start. It’s at least refreshing to see people you know get vaccinated. Light at the end of the tunnel hopefully.

My grandad used to say people in southern West Virginia didn't know they were poor until LBJ's do gooders came down and told them they were.

Governor Sheets falling down on the job.

Seems to me that states who have an organized effort statewide ("here are the rules" now get it done at the top level) where as those that are leaving it up to the local officials to figure it out are failing. Maybe just my perception, but seems to be that way.
