Exactly. And nobody is locked down. Some states are more strict than others but they are not locked down.
You do realize I'm a front line worker as are millions of other people across the globe. Talk to my boss for me tell her I want a year off with pay,
How do propose healthcare workers and front line workers isolate every time they come in contact with a covid postive person. This also applies to other workers that come in contact with hundreds of people on a daily basis.
Health care workers are understood...i
Actually at the beginning of all this they would make us isolate for two weeks if we had an exposer. As things progressed that wasn't feasible. Even now with just a handful of Covid patients in the hospital we don't have the staff for that.
No, airline job.
Mine too...
You must have missed that when a stat came out that only 6% of COVID cases had no comorbidity listed that some people were using that to claim that the deaths from COVID were only 6% of the total being reported.
Great point. None of the precautions we talk about are 100% effective or anywhere close to that. A mask helps reduce some risk of exposure, physical distancing reduces some exposure, avoiding large groups reduces some exposure. At the end of the day a combination of precautions may not guarantee 100% effectiveness but it’s a heck of a lot better than doing nothing. Same goes for testing and tracing. It won’t always be possible to catch and isolate everyone in time but the more you catch the less the virus spreads. It’s all additive. Instead people who resist restrictions jump immediately to if the precaution doesn’t result in the virus being gone completely it doesn’t work. Even the governor of FL used that logic in his press release on removing state restrictions. He said because Miami limited restaurants and still had cases this summer that‘s evidence that the restaurant limitations didn’t work. What he’s ignoring is that without those restrictions there may have been even more cases.
I thought you meant casually as well.
“Always” is relative. With the stay on elective surgery and the cycle calendar, my partners and I face an interesting 5 months to recertification for our licensure.
Speaking anecdotally, we’re at ~120 days current rate, state and local resources. I hope bigger states are better; they should be.
That’s unfortunate, but our ortho floor is overflowing. It’s like our Covid floor was two months ago. Keep in mind I live in a state where 20% of the population is retirement age.
But they got their free passes for them and their family to WDW!
Or will be fine, it’s clearing the backlog that will be the problem.
Our orthopedists have also been extremely busy since our ORs opened back up for elective procedures. A huge backlog accumulated during the spring shut-down.
Same.
