China Posted August 20, 2021 Author Share Posted August 20, 2021 'Bracing for the worst' in Florida's COVID-19 hot zone As quickly as one COVID patient is discharged, another waits for a bed in northeast Florida, the hot zone of the state’s latest surge. But the patients at Baptist Health’s five hospitals across Jacksonville are younger and getting sick from the virus faster than people did last summer. Baptist has over 500 COVID patients, more than twice the number they had at the peak of Florida’s July 2020 surge, and the onslaught isn’t letting up. Hospital officials are anxiously monitoring 10 forecast models, converting empty spaces, adding over 100 beds and “bracing for the worst,” said Dr. Timothy Groover, the hospitals’ interim chief medical officer. “Jacksonville is kind of the epicenter of this. They had one of the lowest vaccination rates going into July and that has probably really came back to bite them,” said Justin Senior, CEO of the Florida Safety Net Hospital Alliance, which represents some of the largest hospitals in the state.

EmirOfShmo Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) Local country-style bar/restaurant near me has shut down due to covid. I'm assuming staff member(s) tested positive. We haven't been there since the start of the pandemic. It has that "I'm-not-vaxxed-I'm-free" vibe to it.

There’s a Trump rally tonight. This is a death cult. Worse, they have -29 ICU beds: “We are set on a path that looks disastrous”: Alabama hospitals near collapse Medical professionals in Alabama are sounding the alarm over the monstrous surge of COVID-19 cases that is overwhelming the state's hospitals—which are quickly running short on staff and space. "We are set on a path that looks disastrous," Dr. Donald Williamson, president and CEO of the Alabama Hospital Association, said in a state medical association COVID-19 update Thursday. Currently, Alabama is reporting around 4,000 new cases per day. Medical experts in the Yellowhammer State expect that sometime next week, Alabama will exceed its previous record in average daily cases, which was set in January at around 4,500 new cases per day. Meanwhile, hospitalizations are also nearing all-time highs of around 3,000 people hospitalized each day. Statewide, 81 percent of hospital beds were in use and ICU beds are at 100 percent capacity. The Alabama Department of Health confirmed to Ars on Thursday that the state reported having "negative 29" ICU beds available on Wednesday (an updated number for Thursday was not yet available). "Basically, throughout the state, we're now in situations where we're seeing patients who show up in the ER needing to be admitted [and] spending—in some cases—days in the ER getting ICU-level care, in the ER, because there's no place for them to go," Williamson said.

China Posted August 21, 2021 Author Share Posted August 21, 2021 8 hours ago, Cooked Crack said: It would be nice if one of these idiots taking ivermectin decided to sue Fox News: Rachel Maddow Rips Fox News For Pushing 'Horse Dewormer' For COVID Treatment MSNBC host Rachel Maddow blasted Fox News on Friday night for promoting a livestock dewormer as a treatment for COVID-19. Calls to poison control centers in Mississippi are on the rise due to individuals ingesting the drug ivermectin, which is commonly used to eradicate and prevent parasites in livestock. “People won’t take the vaccine because they’re super suspicious of that. But they’re taking horse deworming medication that they’re buying at a feed store? For COVID?” asked Maddow. “Why, on top of everything else Mississippi has to deal with right now, why are they dealing with this?” “I have a guess,” she added, before playing a series of clips of Fox News personalities — including Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity — promoting ivermectin. Hannity pushed the drug as one of the “proactive treatments and practices that are already helping COVID-19 patients all across the country.” Click on the link for the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted August 22, 2021 Author Share Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) Doctors tracking new COVID-19 variants in Florida The delta variant of COVID-19 is taking a major toll on Florid, but as it continues to spread across the state, there are now two new variants that have arrived here in Florida and have health officials concerned. “One of them is called Lambda, and it’s been named as a variant of interest by the WHO, and it’s the dominant variant in South America and Peru” said Michael Teng, associate professor of the College of Medicine Internal Medicine at USF Health. The lambda variant has also made its way to Florida and 43 other US states. Experts are closely watching this variant because a Japanese study found that it may be more resistant to current Covid vaccines. Lambda isn’t the only Variant to have made its way here to the sunshine state. “There’s another variant that has not received the WHO designation, and it’s called B1-621, and that one became dominant in Colombia, and these two variants have some level of transmissibility at least in those two countries,” Teng said.

China Posted August 22, 2021 Author Share Posted August 22, 2021 ‘I’ve never seen anything like this’: ER doctor says hundreds of patients are waiting to be admitted into hospitals, but there are no beds Emergency room doctors in Southeast Texas say they are running out of hospital beds, and some patients are waiting hours, sometimes days to be admitted into a hospital. “Are there patients dying because of this that might not have died? Absolutely, yes,” said Southeast Texas Regional Advisory Council CEO, Darrell Pile. “I am very concerned about the fatalities that are about to happen.” As of Friday afternoon, Pile says 482 patients were waiting for hospital beds in his 25-county region. He said 211 of those patients are COVID-19 positive. An additional 120 patients are waiting for an ICU bed. Of those patients, 65 are COVID-19 positive. “The poor nurses and doctors and respiratory therapists can’t see all the patients that are mounting in the lobby, and now we have patients waiting in parking lots and we have patients waiting in the back of ambulances in parking lots. It’s a gridlock at the emergency department level,” Pile told KPRC 2. The SETRAC CEO says the Southeast Texas region is short about 2,000 nurses, which he says is the main reason behind the bed shortage. “It’s a situation where a patient, after waiting hours, may get into an emergency department room with a curtain drawn and be assessed and be decided they need to be admitted, but there’s nowhere to go, and that’s where they stay for hours and hours and maybe days,” said Pile. In some cases, he says patients are being flown out of state to places like Louisiana, Utah, Colorado, North Dakota and Minnesota, instead of going to the Texas Medical Center.
