My next door neighbor died the other day, not because of covid directly. He had a fall, busted his knee bad and had some issues because of it. He was in the hospital a couple of weeks and they tried to find him an ICU bed but none were open in the 6 state region.
While his wife was visiting the other evening he coded from a blood clot and died right there. They don't call the hospital Death valley for nothing and why people try to go elsewhere. He was a very good guy and huge Chiefs fan. He went to the Vegas game earlier this year and was planning on going to the Pro Bowl. just terrible. |

To keep my son in school. For example, right now he has a cold. We tested so we can show he is negative so they don't keep him out for 10 days. |

My wife is a pediatric NP. They have no real quarantine period...if you don't have a fever then you need to come to work. And, luckily, I telecommute most of the time so it's a total non issue for me. The worst part is if my son gets it - they're still doing an automatic 10 days out. That school is effing expensive so I don't want him missing days! |

No, it doesn't have to mean the doors are shut and people are bleeding to death in the parking lot. It means the system can't provide the level of critical care that it used to and real people suffer real consequences. This is why in the short term we want to spread out the current wave of cases. And in the medium/long term it would probably be useful if society could figure out how to entice more medical workers into and staying in the system. |
