So I know were I need to go if I need it. Just joking. I was wondering if there were any hospitals ready.
I think our local system in the upstate of SC is ready, they are worried. That is normal to be worry after seeing Italy on the news.
We are spread out here so there will not be a big surge like the cities I hope.. I think we have one to two weeks before a surge.
News from the Great Northwest (aka Minnesota)...
Bethesda Hospital in St Paul is converting to a COVID-19 facility. It was (until six days ago) a long-term care hospital dealing with brain injuries, etc.
It now has 90 beds, 35 of which are ICU capable.
Here’s a link to the story:
I was at this one last week, so far just 12 confirmed cases in the Hospital location testing site....and thus far not revealing if they're being sent home or not. A week ago we ad none...... I suspect only those having breathing issues are admitted but the first case they monitored closely at home quarantine I understand..... Pittsburgh has renowned medical facilities and hospitals so I think they will also handle this ok when considering the populations size there and surrounding area. Cleveland clinic is over the border and just a couple hours away....also a great hospital system. Actually Pa. sits pretty well overall I think to handle what will come. They're a self sufficient people for the most part and know how to hande themselves in emergencies....that carries over into their work place settings as well.
