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?CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Thu Dec 09, 2021 9:21 amWell what is the difference? It's an ICU not a hotel.BasketballJayhawk wrote: ↑Thu Dec 09, 2021 9:18 amI only ask because at some hospitals around IL they have empty rooms, but not enough staff to consider them open beds.TraditionKU wrote: ↑Thu Dec 09, 2021 9:12 am
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

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
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.BasketballJayhawk wrote: ↑Thu Dec 09, 2021 9:18 amI only ask because at some hospitals around IL they have empty rooms, but not enough staff to consider them open beds.TraditionKU wrote: ↑Thu Dec 09, 2021 9:12 amlast report i heard on the news was that ICUs were at 102% capacity…whatever that actually meansBasketballJayhawk wrote: ↑Thu Dec 09, 2021 8:29 am
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.

Nah, just making an unnecessary detour for the sake of arguing semantics because he read an article.Cascadia wrote: ↑Thu Dec 09, 2021 9:35 amHe's trying to get to a blame Biden stance.TraditionKU wrote: ↑Thu Dec 09, 2021 9:30 am whatever point are you trying to make, just make it

Not the side effects, the shot itself. Hate needles.TraditionKU wrote: ↑Thu Dec 09, 2021 12:09 pmi 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)

These are clearly the only two possibilities.BasketballJayhawk wrote: ↑Thu Dec 09, 2021 2:58 pmNot at all.
I provided stats from my area.
I was curious if
(1)SLC literally didn't build big enough hospitals to accommodate patients in a pandemic,
OR
(2)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.
