We're doing fine thank you very much. Have a friend who is


a hospitalist... she says things have gotten a lot busier and they're looking to expand the covid unit into the ortho wing (which is almost all elective and therefore almost empty). There's nothing unique about the ICU when it comes to covid that can't be handled by taking over other parts of the hospital normally used for non-emergency stuff. Most patients that are hospitalized for covid need fluids, oxygen, possibly treatment for secondary infections, a few may need ventilators, but that is the last resort treatment now. All of that can be handled outside of the ICU.

Try your hair on fire scare tactics on someone else.
