But seriously, study after study shows admission criteria for ICUs vary widely across the country. People are routinely discharged from the entire hospital with unstable vitals. "Serious condition" is subjective, so to insinuate every single serious condition would require an ICU bed is hogwash. It's that simple.

Difficulty breathing due to pneumonia is an unstable vital, is it not?

No “difficulty breathing” is a complaint. A respiratory rate of 40 would be an unstable vital sign and would definitely get someone an icu bed.

I’m not insinuating shite, I’m stating facts on occupied ICU beds available at a large hospital. Yes there are times the census gets low, but something like this with a 10 day or longer quarantine stay would overwhelm the system. If you decide to use one 12 bed unit to house the China virus peeps, even if it’s 1 patient , you’ve just cut your available ICU beds in half.

But but but a few numbnuts on Tigerdroppings said every serious condition is, by definition, in ICU.



Y'all wonder why I'm labeled a contrarian, but it's hard not to be when so many are always so wrong...

WAKAYAMA, Japan - A man in his 70s who was treated at a hospital in western Japan where a doctor was recently confirmed to have been infected with a new coronavirus has also tested positive for it, local officials said Friday, although they denied the two came into contact.

Man you are reaching so hard.

If you want to get picky let’s just take the 10% of cases that are “critical” in Hong Kong and Singapore. Would you agree that they are in the ICU?

That means that if a million people get this in the US that’s every ICU bed with no room for other illnesses. There were 22-33 million flu cases this year. If it is half as infectious as the flu then run 10% of that number.

I am curious what that is.

Lol it’s called fake news for a reason.

, nice research. Nevermind the fact Scalise was readmitted to the hospital due to an infection in July of 2017. He was in ICU, then discharged, but remained in serious condition.

I'm getting tired of the winning here. All I said pages ago is that it is unwise to group EVERY serious condition as if it's an ICU case. Should have known by now that any positive spin is frowned upon by you and a few others, but I didn't expect that statement of fact to be so controversial.

As you know by now, I think a travel ban everywhere is the only way to help, but a travel ban everywhere is far too draconian.
