I work in a cancer center. Rural hospital. We had an outbreak in our nursing homes in the spring. Other than that, we had very few cases in our community. This was until early November, when we started seeing community spread. By December we had half of our beds filled with Covid patients. I don't work on the floor, but I know ventilators were only used on a handful of patients. The number of Covid inpatients has decreased steadily since then, to less than 1/5 of the patient load. I have had a few cancer patients test positive. None of them have been hospitalized for covid.
Tagging onto your post. I work in emergency medicine in an area of about 150k residents. We've seen a good number of COVID patients recently but generally minor symptoms. Treat and release with very few ICU stays outside of the usual 80+ y/os with comorbidities.
Numbers on par with the past few years for this time of the year. Lots of transports for admits outside the area but again... Pretty standard for this time of year
That's the question. I don't know how we popped up to 55% of tests coming back positive at one point. The tests face very little scrutiny and no one questions sudden, significant increase in positivity rates
If they are using the PCR tests, the answer must be "who knows!". That's even in the documentation for it... Covid, common cold, or possibly nothing. Flu cases have vanished, but the government doesn't pay hospitals for those.
Emergency medicine in Southern California. Hospital is over 100% capacity with 5-15 holds in our 20-30 bed ER. Covid patients in rooms with only a curtain because were out of negative pressure rooms. 1-6 code blues from someone dying per 9 hour shift.
