re: % of positives in the hospital

the sky screaming hospital workers on the board make it seem like we are already overwhelmed.
Noticed that as well.

I will tell you the amount of PPE lacking is a serious issue at my little spot. The larger the hospital the worse it is. It is being locked down like narcotics. Of course we are talking equipment that is used for TB type isolation precautions. This is rarely used. And within 2 months it’s use has skyrocketed. No way to prepare for that.

Also, had the Ebola thing not happened a few years ago we would be double fricked. Many of the face shields and gowns and splash proof PPE is a result of that and still kept on hand for that. We went from NOBODY having an Ebola cart to everyone having an Ebola cart. Those carts have all been picked clean.
