Field report from Mt Vernon WA emergency room:
Last night my wife was badly burned in a cooking accident at home (a scarf around her neck started on fire), and we had the misfortune of visiting the ER via ambulance.
In the ER there were two beds occupied by virus patients, and that portion of the ER was completely isolated. Huge warning signs regarding proper PPE, access only allowed to staff in full gear.
There are many empty beds in the ER. I asked the nurse about ICU capacity/bed availability, and he said that they were fine for now - but he was concerned about the next two weeks as they have patients in there on ventilators, not sure when they would be upgraded on status.
Just like we have been discussing.
OMG, your poor wife!
Prayers up.
Thanks for the field report.
How’s your wife? Is she home?
Prayers. I know that burns are painful.

How is the wife?
That’s awful, Datura. I’m sure your wife was terrified and I hope she, and you, are doing ok today. Horrible area to be burned.
