Just a flu, bro.
Nothing in this article actually suggestions COVID is that bad (100% full before first case). It actually suggests there were way too few ICU beds going into this at this hospital.

it’s the public hospital in Atlanta. I assume if you take a round in the chest in the hood, this is where you wind up.
Grady is where the poor folk go in the ATL.
“Just a flu, bro.”
...and think of all the fun when the cases increase 10-fold in 2 weeks!
It sounds like COVID had no impact on ICU bed use across all of Atlanta.
I’d say this means the virus is harmless!
Wonder how The Real Governof of GA would have handled this...
Relieved you are still with us. Best to you.
Boston hospitals are doing fine. Nurses are wondering when the deluge will come.
Yikes.
Short on detail, but if true, this in not good news.
I wish there was more granularity. “Four major hospitals” is pretty vague. There are many more that four major hospitals in ATL, but four major hospital groups is probably about right.
All Atlanta Hospitals ICU beds are now full. Very surprise Atlanta’s Grady Hospital only has 100 ICU beds.
I heard it take anywhere from 14 to 21 days if you have this flu bad enough to need ICU.
Meanwhile the next Flu patient who needs ICU will have to just try to hang on until a bed is available.
Very Nasty Flu.
Dumb article. Doesn’t give any numbers and how many are non-corona patients.
Flu can be deadly, bro. We usually don’t shut down society in fear though, brah.
Atlanta Georgia has about 139 hospitals I don’t think they are running out of ICU Space. Plus Georgia has over 300 hospitals. Or more I quit counting..
There is a brand new hospital with 408 beds available. It also has rooms for offices and meetings but nobody is in those rooms. It is totally vacant and ready to be filled with whomever. It is on N Peachtree in Atlanta.
There are 85 bed hospitals recently closed in East GA that could be reopened Of course, most of those with COVID-19 are in West GA from Floyd to Cobb to Carroll to Douoghtery to Early.
There are many 25 bed hospitals in the SW GA COVID-19 hot spot that could be reopened. Probably non-COVID-19 patients would be transferred to them to open up beds in the bigger hospitals for the current pandemic
There are other creative ways to find hospital beds.
Does Atlanta have a lot of people who go to NOLA for Mardi Gras?
“Just a flu, bro.”
Hey Laz, hope all is well with you.
Today while working I went from Johns Creek, to Alpharetta, to Roswell, then on to Buckhead. On the trip I passed at least half a dozen Emergency Care facilities that had tents in place outside. There was no one there in line. Not a sick person in sight. Those poor folks in the tents had no patients to wait on.
I was doing patch panel/switch work in a high rise building on Roswell Rd in Buckhead. Those boys were working as usual. None were ill, none were coughing. Work was getting done. Production was good according to the CM. ATT had been onsite and the internet connection was as close to a gig per second as I have ever seen. Made me want to put a cot in the AV room, for sure.
The less better news is that since everything is shut down, I got there in record time since there is no traffic, plus, for the first time ever, parking in Buckhead was plentiful!
All in all, what I am seeing in the news is not what I am seeing working around Atlanta.
