We have 2 travelling nurses staying with us. We’re in Northern California.
.....
One is an Emergency Department nurse.
The hospital is a Tier 2 trauma center. They’ve got triage tent. Have a special unit set up for COVID-19 patients. Everything is ready.
I talk to her everyday and it’s always the same. Nobody is coming in. The place is empty. Most exciting thing all week was a kid broke a bone. One day she came back early because there was nothing to do.
One thing she complained about was it takes a long time to get results back, but that because until last week, California had only 1 certified private lab.
.....
The other is an ICU nurse at the same hospital.
The unit has 23 beds. Yesterday, he told me 12 were occupied. For them that’s slow.
2 did die last week but one was heart failure and the other from cancer.
Edit:
Most exciting thing all day...Not all week.
