@ghostofuga1 I love the way you think!
County and City shut us down today, we go back to work on April 13th.
As mentioned before, I’m in IS for a large hospital organization in Georgia. About the only time I have to worry about the virus itself and the economy is when I’m off work, which by the way is becoming less and less by the day. The largest hospital that I am closest to (in proximity), we are dedicating one complete floor for confirmed cases and those “heavily considered” but not confirmed. That means a ton of moving people – computers, phones, printers, print ques, switch vlans, etc… I am so busy at work, I’m completely exhausted at the end of each day.
I know this is a tough crowd at times, but I can promise you the numbers of positive infections and deaths due to the virus are not very accurate. We received an email today saying we had one confirmed case who had just passed. It was explained that the patient passed away, then we received the results of patient’s test as being positive, but that was early this morning – still shows no confirmed and no deaths for this particular hospital on any maps (with numbers). DV me for this portion if you choose, just being honest. This is an extremely serious situation.
Please, please, everyone do their parts to stay healthy and help the community. God bless all!
We had a suspected case pass away today. Still waiting on the results to come back. If it's positive it will be our first confirmed death as well. I'm kind of 50/50 on the patient, but leaning towards a positive case.
My story sounds very similar to yours @amjadawgs . Dedicated wing for the non critical Corona patients, and the critical ones go into negative pressure rooms in the regular ICU. And they're starting to fill up too. I got a feeling it's about to get real busy.
Where is the balance of trying to restore the country vs keeping everyone away and slowing the progression of a disease during a pandemic? There's some tough questions to answer coming real soon. And sure to be plenty of finger pointing too sadly.
Finger pointing will happen. But not on here. Already had to ban someone today on his "finger pointing" views. So let's just keep it out of the discussion.....😉
Today I learned that both my personal physician and my mother’s personal physician have tested positive. They are self quarantined at home and have not had any complications yet. They are the first people I know personally With the corona virus.
Please keep them and all health care providers in your prayers.
BTW... If any of you know an RN on LPN who works in ICU at ANY hospital, please take the time to tell them, "Thank you!"
One way to show support for healthcare workers is to tie a white ribbon in your trees. We have a niece who is a nurse, and have several white ribbons in our front yard. It is catching on in our ‘hood near Emory.
That's a good idea.
Pls spread the word in your neighborhood, Facebook, and Nextdoor. Mention me If you get on Good Morning America!
I do. My good friend is out in the hospital parking out swabbing noses. Like in the hazmat suit, sweating his nuts off taking samples. I was hanging out with him tonight. Says they are having about a 7% positive rate (compared to the 40-80% the media is predicting). Man, he's got some funny stories.
Will do.
That probably means they've had to deal with the viral load of many infected patients.
