Sadly I am afraid that's just what may happen just like in Italy. Going to get worse way worse before it gets better.I'm surprised gyms haven't shut down yet. I've already determined I'll have to work out at home or a park with my dumbbells.
I think it's just a matter of time before they put America on lock down.
I’m reposting this on UG.My Gym is still open. suggesting to use every other machine and not the one immediately next to.
I work in Orthopedics. We discharged all Patients over the weekend. All elective surgeries are cancelled for at least 3 weeks. Remaining Medical surgical floors will be held for Covid 19 Patients that tested negatve / not detected. for example, My Pt last week returned to ER with 103 Temp. Flu and surgical infection has been ruled out. Covid 19 testing took 3 to 4 days to result....but returned negative.
Now she has been transferred off the floor for Covid 19 to the step down...to probe for the source of her infection. There are some Pts that are positive. Then all the caretakers involved with that Patient during the admission are called and quarantined. this process started yesterday. as of today we have 88 employees quarantined.
soon we will be more short staffed. not to mention being short of ventilators and other equipment and protective wear.
this is only the beginning.
