Covid patients are coming in at a faster rate than they can discharge.

It's time for everyone to pull their damn heads out of the sand and stop sugar coating everything. This is scary.

He asked the doctors if we don't backtrack Thanksgiving when will we see results. Answers were symptoms will start appearing in a week but full effect won't be known until 2 weeks.

Where will we be in 2 or 4 weeks if we don't tamp this down?
We are seeing a 25% increase week over week.
At least a 50% increase of hospitalizations

All I keep thinking is that this day last week my boss was saying that the hospital staff at their meeting last week were saying they were fine.
Sure Jan
Also we got an email that we are able to do flexible work agreements again next semester and need to de-densify the campus BUT people must be on campus and full department WFH every day is not to happen because it isn't good for students. We are doing our 2 days a week 2 hour shifts again so I am fine with it, but just no there is no reason for students to be meeting staff in person.

Lol first reporter question was you had a nurse last week saying they can't sound the alarm loud enough and again today, is it time to admit the curfew isn't doing anything. My kid went screaming through the house so I didn't hear the answer.

In the spring there was a big to do about convention centers being set up as alternative hospital sites, are we reaching that point now?
In Columbus, we had a plan with cots... and then my TV froze.

I missed a lot but something has been stored and put away but they have a plan to be able to have it set back up in 7-14 days. The hope is that they won't need it. But if we do need it then it's there.

This doesn't answer the question. Are we reaching capacity to the point of needing that? Answer the question.

CC says they are lacking staffing. They don't have all the beds open because they lack the staff to take care of those beds.

Even if they wanted to extend to the alternative plans, they don't have the staff to do it.

How close are we to needing to rationalize covid care? It depends on which resource you are talking about. Hospitals across zone 2 are not at risk of running out of vents. Perhaps a hospital might but they are working to transfer things around. Treatment options are limited so they are working on prioritization methods.

We will not have enough vaccines to medicate even all Healthcare workers much less any amount of Ohioans.

Speaking of vaccines, how many will jump for the vaccine when they can? I'm torn. On one hand yes let's do this. On the other hand it has been researched, developed, and potentially out to the public in under a year?? Do we really know enough about the safety? Are the no adverse health concerns just that people didn't drop dead on the spot?
*I am pro vaccine in general but brand new things like that make me pause to think.

They also don't even know yet if it is an every year vaccine and how fast it takes effect right? or am I dreaming this was said.

They've only been testing it for 6 months. There's no way to know the lifespan of the vaccine.

I am pro vaccine and unless I am required to get it for work which I can see happening since they require flu shots my family will not be getting it right away.

I just don't know how they know this is working, but I am not a scientist for a reason.

I just read an article about this. I'll see if I can find it again. Basically they're based on decades long research and the funding usually holds things up a lot. In this case there has also been a lot of funding, which helps. I get that it seems much faster and that can be scary, but personally I also have a lot of confidence in the scientists.

My county had 407 cases today and I got 2 Covid letters from the high school, but no notification DS has to quarantine yet. We were having around 150/day, then 200, 250 and now a huge jump. I feel like I’m always surprised at how bad it’s getting. I don’t know why. Thank goodness only 1 more day of school this week.
I trust the scientists and Fauci, so if they say to get the vaccine, I will.
