Governors have mandated stay at home for all families in some states during this virus, so why not mandate those who have loved ones over 65 at home to stay at home or at a minimum isolate from them in their homes. My point is one size never fits all.
As for the ICU bed situation, to date no hospital (that cancelled elective surgeries) has had ICU bed shortages. It did not happen in New York as we saw Cuomo cry about it and then the POTUS ends up wasting valuable resources by building hospitals. The idiot allowed seniors to go back to nursing homes versus using those resources. Fact, as a result a lot of older people died.
What are hospitals doing to convert regular rooms to ICU units right now? Most nothing as they refuse to make the investment. In spite of the number of cases, the amount of serious cases and deaths continue to decline. We are finding out they are counting 1 person over and over again each time they are tested in states all over the country. We need accurate data, so the experts can put out the fires in the right places.
We need the criteria used by every state to determine cause of death. As you have said, reports of under reported, but also reports of over reported (people in hospice on death bed recorded as Cov-19 because they got it late in the process. Is money involved in cases reported or deaths reported due to China Cov-19? I hope not as we all know for money some would kill their mother.
As I am out (not often on purpose), I see 95% wearing masks. I require my 250 employees to wear masks. I installed plexiglass at every customer touch point and put plexiglass in between employees who can't social distance. My point is many people are working hard to keep employees and customers safe, it is priority #1 for me.
I commend you for all you do both personally and professionally to stop the spread of Covid 19, but could you please stop posting demonstrably false information?
There was a hospital near here that completely exceeded their ICU capacity and needed to divert patients to the hospital I work for. But, we couldn’t accept all their patients. So they had to divert to multiple hospitals.
The hospital also renovated a floor of a building for approximately 30 inpatient and 7 ICU beds at a cost of about $2 million while losing $25M/week due to decreased patient census and services.
You’re a businessman, do you invest $2M in something you probably won’t need in 18-24 months, especially while already operating at significant losses? I don’t think so.
Just two examples of false information. Because I don’t want to go through it line by line here.
