last report i heard on the news was that ICUs were at 102% capacity…whatever that actually means

they first went to an ER here in the valley and were turned away and told to go to Park City. that’s all i know
I only ask because at some hospitals around IL they have empty rooms, but not enough staff to consider them open beds.
Well what is the difference? It's an ICU not a hotel.
The difference between an empty room in a hospital and an empty room that can be filled with a patient because they have the staffing to utilize it for hospital purposes?

whatever point are you trying to make, just make it

we all know, or at least it’s been widely reported, that there are staffing shortages across the country

i really don’t know what the relevance is. getting turned away from a hospital is getting turned away

Bottom line, they can't take new patients. If the term "available bed" is more accurate, it's just arguing semantics.

Curious about SLC "no bebs" available....are they out of "staffed beds" or simply out of beds period because hospitals are overflowing?

IL has started differentiating between the 2 because there's a difference.

We currently have 641 covid patients in ICU out of 3,043 staffed ICU beds....but we only have 359 beds available due to all the other reasons people are in ICUs.

We have 284 patients on ventilators out of over 5k available.

Sitting in a hospital bed with no staff available to treat you because they have reached the max capacity of patients they can treat is no different than not having a hospital bed. In both cases, the hospital is unable to treat you and you are left to find other alternatives if you want or need to be treated.

Nah, just making an unnecessary detour for the sake of arguing semantics because he read an article.

Thank you for your interest in this position, however we just don’t think you’re quite the right fit here. While your skill set and experience are both impressive, you just don’t display the desperation we look for in our employees”

i wouldn’t worry

i know some have had reactions, but mine was incredibly mild (and i got the flu jab at the same time)

(plus you’ll be even more magnetized and trackable after)

Not the side effects, the shot itself. Hate needles.

Not at all.

I provided stats from my area.

I was curious if SLC literally didn't build big enough hospitals to accommodate patients in a pandemic, OR if people getting turned away was more due to their likely privately owned hospitals not paying essential workers enough to entice enough people to work for them so that they're fully staffed.

That's all.

These are clearly the only two possibilities.
