I work in a state hospital in a highly rural state. We already had hall beds on the floors and in the ED on a daily basis before all of this. We aren't ready for this.



I’m in Des Moines, ~200k

We are major city in the area so we get a flood of patients from more rural parts on a daily basis without this going on. Our icu operate near max capacity without this going on. Notttt prepared. Not sure what’s really going to happen when push inevitably comes to shove

Better spend your time on starting a vegetable garden. Protip


Social distancing. Allowing so many into the store. I should have dressed warmer but I was able to stick up pretty well on everything including the 30 pack of charmin :)

Honestly I'm pretty sure it is my favorite store. I think I showed up right after it opened and they only so many people in the store. I'm encouraged that people are taking this seriously. The membership places just offer better experiences.

Everyone who can be sent home is being sent home to do remote. I will be by the middle of next week and I'm grateful I'll be able to earn an income whether I'm sick or not. I live in an urban county but drive to a rural county and it's gonna be rough at my hospital. Every county basically has one hospital, Hamilton County Ohio where Cincinnati is has about a dozen hospitals and the post acute world is massive.

But we have been managing the heroin epidemic for years now, which has killed more Americans can the Vietnam War, with the epicenter in Ohio, so we have the infrastructure in place for a massive public health disaster and we are putting up new walls in places to create negative pressure areas, going to lock all entrances and taking everyone's temperature as they come in, make every room private, ram hand hygiene and personal protective equipment training down everyone's throat. Everyone hates it , it is a nightmare, nursing are putting in for medical leave/leave of absence/walking out....

We will see what happens. I hope other people are preparing like us. I'm very pleased with our leadership in the hospital and have no criticism of Dewine in this matter.

With a 30% false negative rate on a test that there is a significant shortage of. A year from now the world will look and see which countries truly have superior systems in place and all eyes will be on Korea.

3rd world medicine is currently in progress here. Complete disaster across the entire country with nothing remotely resembling a plan. Every hospital in the country is doing things differently without any leadership or guidance. Changed to droplet precautions solely because it’s been accepted there aren’t the resources in place to treat it appropriately as airborne

Some hospitals still quarantining physicians with possible exposure for 2 weeks, even tho potentially 30% of positive patients are being sent to the floor without any precautions whatsoever. Just chaos, all eyes on WA, CA, and NY. This week will be telling. Trump can’t send a hospital ship to the Midwest


My hope is that this highlights the real reasons why playing bullshit politics with healthcare to protect the profits of certain industries isn't patriotic. Hopefully this leads to a real change in society.

I am a 3rd year Internal Medicine resident in a large hospital on the east coast and I will be starting Infectious Disease fellowship this July.

This thing is the real deal, while as with most diseases it appears to be far worse in the elderly, I have seen young people intubated and doing poorly too.

We are seeing a large influx of (fever, dry cough, myalgias, SOB) in our ED, the hospital I work in just created a coronavirus critical care unit, the rooms are negative pressure, and over the last 4-5 days it has filled up and everyone in there is intubated. Some of them are under 50.

Most of the doctors and nurses in the hospital are worried that we too are going to get it, we are dangerously low on PPE and the equipment that we do have is of very poor quality anyway, some of the intensivists are taking prophylactic Hydroxychloroquine....

Now residents are being sent home early, we have cancelled our clinics, all med students rotations are cancelled, no visitors are allowed in the hospital so the corridors are deserted, the lunch room is closed, etc....

Corona is a deadly superfungus they repackaged as a virus. They replaced CoronA with CandidA Auris - 1st & last letter hence the alcohol reference since yeast feed/produce ethanol.
Have to know your enemy in order to survive it.
Been saying this in multiple threads for a year now in various ways so I would expect the same trolling here but
If you've read this you're informed.

*A CoronAl mass ejection is a kind of fiery Aura/is for those who are shrewd enough to understand parables. Either way:

The mark of the beast 666 or three Six is to be 'Tree' Sick : Yeast/mushrooms/fungus are trees of death or the white horse plague of the apocalypse as it were.

Repackaging a fungus into a virus is just word salad. It literally makes no sense. A fungal genome packaged into a viral package would do literally nothing, and viruses are simply too small to allow packaging of a full genome. A biology 101 student could see that not only are your claims unsubstantiated, but the entire concept is nonsense.

Larger organisms than virus can produce dangerous sub-products, in certain conditions, some of them are most lethal substances on Earth. Peace.
Hopefully it's not the same deal than virus.
