At my hospital our numbers are creeping up a little. Not overrun by any measure. But we had our main COViD floor completely closed at one point. Now it’s reopened with a decent amount of admits to it. All unvaccinated. Ages range…but seeing a good bit of those in 30-40 year old range. Currently the 30s and 40s groups make up 60% of the patients on our regular COVID floor. In the COVID ICU they make up 20% of the patients


What constitutes a regular COVID floor patient? Is that someone who's basically developed pneumonia? What's the baseline for getting your arse in the hospital for the rona?

Needing actual hospital care?

They aren’t just admitting you for the heck of it.

But yes…many likely developed pneumonia related to COVID and need to be in the hospital for oxygen, etc.

Probably requiring oxygen but nothing beyond that yet.
