And I received three or four 'EMERGENCY NOTICES' ON MY CELL PHONE!!! Within the last two days.
They cannot help themselves, they dream of sending out the Russian missiles inbound alert!!! Just like Hawaii.Trump's fault.
I think they removed the beds because of staffing.
It’s a holiday week, so there are a lot of people taking the week off. As a lot of nursing units are union based, the bed to nurse ratio is fixed.
In addition, there is a shortage of nurses all over the country.
My wife’s hospital has had several nurses quit and become “traveler” nurses. There are places in the Midwest and southwest paying 3-4 times what a nurse in MA can make.
In the hospital where my daughter works there are normally 500 open positions. This past week they hit 1,600 openings.
I am not suggesting ANYTHING about governments adjusting bed counts for nefarious uses. I am simply explaining that beds are directly related to staffing levels—and staffing is an issue.
There is little to believed from government at any level these days. That’s exactly the way they want it.
I do know someone who was recently in ICU w/Covid in Chicago. They were supposed to send her to a regular room but sent her home on oxygen instead because they had no rooms.
It is also Minnesota. No comments are allowed as the newspaper know it is a lie and they do not want the people making that comment.
‘No beds anywhere’: Minnesota hospitals strained to limit by COVID-19
Open ICU beds were down to single digits in some parts of Minnesota last week, when Gov. Tim Walz ordered a four-week shutdown of bars and other venues.
