Total COVID census is dropping pretty quick - combo of more patients dying and discharges.

ICU census is staying the same or going up because patients that have been hanging out on lower acuity floors are now sick enough to need ICU.
Are you guys getting better and treating lower acuity cases with specific tactics so they don't go to ICU?

I would think there would be lots of trial and error gains taking place.

To some degree early management is better.

Lower acuity floors are using early proning, steroids, remdesivir, and convalescent plasma so some of these things do help in some cases.

Before there were limits placed on some of these treatments.

West of the Atlantic. East of the ICW.
moving mask wearing from my 76% to 95% results in a reduction of deaths
between now and May 1 by 30,000...paraphrased.

"huge difference; we know these things now."
Wow. Down 30,000 by May? How stupid do they think people are. Covid deaths pretty much vanished here in the hard hit North East last May. Its not rocket science. Winter ends and illnesses drop as people start spending more and more time outdoors. Had nothing to do with mask wearing then and it won't this May either. No doubt politicians will claim their rules made it happen though. Check out the date line at the bottom of the chart from April 1st to June 1st. This is the deaths in the state of NJ which was one of the hardest hit last spring.

I heard the plasma didn't work. They just published a study.

What weird virus that it just goes after targets of opportunity.

I read today that SA strain is resistant to the antibodies

The little virus that could.

Oh goody! So he can dine at the French laundry again sans mask.
Gov nuisance is a fkn idiot. They had people being ambulanced out of downtown Disney last week from heat stroke during the heat wave bc they aren’t allowed to drink water even if ur 100 ft away from anybody. Meanwhile in Florida...

Spain infection rate per 100,000 has tripled since rates just prior to Xmas.

Hospitals already rehabilitating surgical, ans reception areas to covid only patients.

ERs running out of room.

At least that's what we are told.

A testing pandemic....


Of our natural cyclical process of seasonal illness...

The test is the crux of the problem....

W/o a reported Ct value....the test is meaningless...straight up.

Don't be ignorant....educate yourselves....

We're being manipulated....

“SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California Gov. Gavin Newsom has from the start said his coronavirus policy decisions would be driven by data shared with the public to provide maximum transparency.”
However, now he has decided to keep Californians in the dark:
“State officials said they rely on a very complex set of measurements that would confuse and potentially mislead the public if they were made public.”
I would hate to be mislead. :rolleyes:

@casa_mugrienta
“Where test results do not correspond with the clinical presentation, a new specimen should be taken and retested using the same or different NAT technology…Most PCR assays are indicated as an aid for diagnosis, therefore, health care providers must consider any result in combination with timing of sampling, specimen type, assay specifics, clinical observations, patient history, confirmed status of any contacts, and epidemiological information.”
:roflmao:

So they couldn't show us what would be helped by closing, didn't show us that closing helped anything, wouldn't share their work at any point, and are going to pull back the closures for... reasons.
Goog thing we have all you "whatever you say Mr. Newsome" types living in California...

Given the WHO press release above, a huge chunk of the test positivity data was likely bad in the first place. Like Dr. Ioannidis said in March, this is a data fiasco. Interesting this is all coming out the day after a new president was installed. Suddenly, we are now told, COVID was not as bad as we were led to believe for the past 10 months? Yet the ICUs are still jammed. Which is it?

We are definitely a post-truth society.

We've seen so far that the WHO is only to be listened to when their advice or information aligns with the political agenda of whoever is making the decisions almost entirely in the dark.
