My nurse buddy who was in a room for a week with an intubated patient who tested positive for corona virus just got his results back.... Negative. | |||

Unfocused restrictions are crushing the health care industry. Here in Michigan, hospital systems are closing floors and furloughing thousands. Even in the metro Detroit area where hospitals are at capacity treating covid patients, they are hemorrhaging cash. Beaumont Hospital System is one of the largest systems, usually profiting about $16 million per month. Currently they are losing $100 million in cash each month. Too much being on standby has resulted in gross under utilization of our health care industry. In Michigan, we have 3 more weeks of statewide lockdown. No attempts have been made to only address restrictions where there is a critical need. Instead they apply them statewide. FYI, most of Michigan's population is in the small southeastern corner. The rest of the state is very rural, lower populations. The governor has failed to adapt as this has developed. | |||

While that's conspicious compared to the last three seasons, it's actually not unusual if you go further back. The same chart from the 2012/13 report shows similar or lower numbers at that point for the three preceding seasons. In 2011/12 the flu seems to have been almost a no-show with just 4,400 cases for the whole season. With over 157,000, the current one has actually been fairly serious, and I suspect that contributed to the rapid drop-off - compared to previous years, more people got it faster, so it burned out quickly. | |||

Still finding my way |
There's a lot of people around here saying fuck it and going back to work this week. There's been more traffic on the roads and I even see stores advertising with big banners that they are open again. The people who are too afraid to leave their houses can stay home all they want but the rest of us have had enough. The way it should have been all along. Seems like the political charade is almost over. I still find it odd that people can be so brainwashed by the media still. I hear otherwise intelligent people parroting what the MSM told them to say. "You got to stay home so I don't get sick" "If you're out and about and get sick then I won't be able to get a spot in the hospital when I get sick" Well chief, you do you and leave me the hell out of it. | |||

| Thank you Very little  |
That was a point made on Rush yesterday, hospitals are losing money hand over fist, procedures for anything but COVID-19, delivery of babies and emergency services are pretty much shut down. Revenue is going into the tank, no labs, xrays, elective surgery, followups etc | |||

Seems like the media has done a great job and getting under peoples skin on this. They got most people in America to lecture the msm's narrative to their neighbor then turn him in if he doesn't kowtow and obey. It's evident in this thread how even conservative members here aren't immune. | |||

I've not saw any signs about reduced capacity around here, but assume that's why they 're counting people and limiting capacity to 5 per 1000 square ft. It still looks like a tragedy waiting to happen. | |||

The DOJ is finally getting involved in the prohibition of church services and saying they can't do it.. Though it is so far, just a case in Mississippi, maybe Barr and the DOJ will go further in other cases now. If DOJ would smack down a few of these little tyrants, the rest might pause a bit. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news...-conduct/ar-BB12CztB | |||

The data for actual totals lags by several months, this happens every year. It's not a grand conspiracy to count all flu/pneumonia cases & deaths as Corona-19 deaths. You can't directly compare to totals from previous years without taking into account that we are looking at incomplete partial data for this year.

Our neighbor across the street is a nurse, and she told us today that she was furloughed last Friday. | |||

A friend of ours is a nurse at the local hospital and has only worked a couple days a week because of so few patients. Yet, our idiot governor said yesterday that he can't ease restrictions because of an impending shortage of beds. | |||

thin skin can't win |
Same at hospital I'm familiar with. Radiology volume is at 45% of normal, a pretty good indicator of the patient load. ER empty, patient floor empty other than the couple floors with some COVID patients there, staff on 50%-furlough type plan. You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

 So are we not giving sick people hospital beds in case we need hospital beds for sick people? | |||

Yep. People furloughed and on reduced shifts throughout our healthcare system and we're one of the largest in the region. There is no shortage of beds, PPE, staff, respirators, etc. Yet there's Governor Cooper calling for more restrictions. He's not a leader - he's a pandering, spineless, conniving fuck. Can't wait for the next election to vote his ass out. Icarus flew too close to the sun, but at least he flew. | |||
