    Not impossible that we reach 1m US deaths before this is over.

    Might not be in the tracking numbers, but the excess mortality will show the actual impact.

    So the entire state of Oklahoma is out of icu beds? Is that what I’m reading there? What happens at that point do they have some overflow capacity they can dip into for a bit or are they already at the reserve capacity

    Surge capacity is typically obtained by converting a “regular” icu to temporary covid icu, then converting other units to “regular” icu. For instance a Post Anesthesia Care Unit can be used as an icu since it has most of the medical equipment that is needed. Keep in mind that not all icu beds are created equal. However, the biggest concern nationally right now isn’t the number of beds- - - it’s the number of trained health care workers available to service the beds. In North Dakota covid-infected health care workers are still working bedside if their symptoms aren’t bad.

    I’m in the moderna trial and will repeat what I said earlier because this thread is so active with a lot of new eyeballs. Immune response wasn’t a joke - fever/chills/bodyaches were all pretty bad but not terrible. I’d do it every couple months if I had to. I’m a nurse and a lot of the nurses I work with have said I’m crazy and they’ll never get this “unproven vaccine” so yeah we’re likely fucked. My facility makes us get flu shots or we face disciplinary action so hopefully they’ll add this as well when it becomes available.

    Nailed it. I’d say maybe only 2-5% of RN’s out there can provide quality care to a ventilated patient. After that, maybe only 10% of RN’s have any desire to work in that level of critical care. Not surprisingly, a lot of nurses have no interest watching people die every day and being in high-intensity situations day after day.

    Lots of focus lately on improved treatment protocols since the spring that can knock down the mortality rate, but two dynamics that could assert very soon across the country are shortages of qualified staff to treat and save the excessive number of patients, and more people dying from other acute and chronic conditions that can’t get timely treatment.

    Whatever they do, it surely won't involve the rationing of healthcare or doctors determining which patients get further treatment (death panels). I was told those happen only in countries with socialized healthcare

    A benefit of the Moderna vaccine is that it will store effectively for 30 days at 34-44 degrees. Makes distribution and storage much easier.

    I don't know either, the person who coordinated recruiting people said that they likely would unblind people and give the placebo group the vaccine once they apply for authorization, but that was not something set in stone. They did say that you're allowed to leave at any time and then at that point they would unblind you. However you would not get the vaccine then since you're unenrolling, you'd have to wait like everyone else.

    Not sure if this has been mentioned, but Ohio now has set up a mask enforcement team through its workers comp agency.

    Private businesses must enforce the mask mandate on their employees and customers. First violation is a warning. Second violation is a 24 hour closure of the business.

    My local supermarket Kroger had 100% compliance yesterday while I was there.

    Because they basically accused Pfizer of sitting on their results until after the election so they wouldn’t boost his chances. But with Moderna benefitting directly from the Trump administration as part of Warp Speed and them still announcing results post-election, it pokes a gaping hole in that claim.

    if you already had Covid in July, I think you're probably not likely to get it again at this point. Don't worry too much.
