Latest news from my wife's hospital, if quarantine is necessary but no symptoms only 7 days quarantine because they are that short on staff... I assume negative test too but who knows... such bs... dont go to a hospital unless you break a leg or show symptoms and call a head of time... first for your own safety and second because of short staff.

I know its the NYT but this article echoes what I have seen as far as age of those hospitalized. https://apple.news/AFOl6uXuiSvu7FEMZxaqMaw

Agreed never reused an n95 in my life before this bs and its the best our hospitals can do. Yet NBA stars and rich and famous get tested when our hospital just got a few. CDC budgeting screwed this royally and folks can decide who to blame but what a ***** show. PS argued with hospital admin and nursing supervisors and been told to do my job. My wife and I assume we will get the virus.

Yeah I know, taken to wearing another mask on outside of mask so I dont contaminate outside of it with my hands but yup shortage we are told to keep up to a week. If pt is coughing i ditch it... and have squirreled away a few... best I can do. And nfw we are getting the above mask. Decon room ha... Bio hazard suit ha. Its a bigger shiite show then you might have imagined.

Vodka higher than 160 proof to sterilize the innirds!

drive thru testing with less than a day turnaround is being implemented as we speak.. National guard triage sites being set outside hospitals to screen patients and testing supposedly... we will see but setup work is being done.

no it was a w

Surface/fomite issue is why and high grade cleaning solvents are so important as well as washing hands thoroughly and frequently is so important.

Testing may not have been adequate and it is taking far too long, but we are now seeing it ramp up big time in my area, so there is hope.... Also people are following stay at home rules much better than down south.

Not sure but Cuomo calling for it and we have gone from 2 to 3 and now 12 in a week here. Be safe

also national guard setting up triage on thursday outside plus testing im told we are opening up an old floor too

Hair coming... weird its curly... Im told we have up to 12 suspected corona pts now here at yonkers hospital
