Social North Dakota's Hospital Capacity Exceeded; Infected Nurses to Continue Working

[Orgasmo]

That's the most dangerous aspect of COVID-19. It's not incredibly lethal normally, but it can rapidly drive up hospitalization in a relatively short period of time. Once the hospitals get overwhelmed, that's when the bodies starts piling up.

With US on par to reach 130k cases a day, some of the states with weaker healthcare system are already buckling.

BISMARCK — North Dakota's hospitals have reached their limit, and the coming weeks could push them past their capabilities, Gov. Doug Burgum said at a news conference on Monday, Nov. 9.

Due to a major shortage of health care staffing, the state's hospitals have a severe lack of available beds. Rising COVID-19 hospitalizations and high noncoronavirus admissions, some resulting from residents who deferred health care earlier in the pandemic, have caused the crunch on medical centers.

In an attempt to alleviate some of the staffing concerns, Burgum announced that interim State Health Officer Dirk Wilke has amended an order that will allow health care workers with asymptomatic cases of COVID-19 to continue working in hospitals' COVID-19 units. The Republican governor said hospital administrators asked the state to take the extraordinary step.

Nah bro, COVID doesn't affect Democrats or BLM rioters. It's woke.

Oh shit..
If positive asymptomatic nurses will attend the Covid ward getting a false positive will be disastrous.

Now you might really get infected!

Why does President-Elect Joe Biden consistently refuse to set an example for masks and social distancing? The rest of the world is laughing at the US right now.

He did. Biden says he recommends, but doesn't impose, a national mask mandate, which is the right thing to do. It's not his fault the scientists are saying that it's your duty to protest in large gatherings, reopen cruises during all time highs, and go to voting booths even if currently infected with Covid. We have to listen to the scientists if we want things to improve as quickly as possible, which Joe will do.

This is the point where targeted lockdowns start to make sense

The shutdowns and masks prevented it from happening initially. We're now seeing the result of fewer and fewer people taking this seriously. Somehow they've convinced themselves that almost 250k deaths is not such a big deal, because they are mostly old anyways. People really need to show more empathy and self-control.

Watch his victory speech with Kamala Harris. At the start of the speech, the two of them, both masked, fist bump each other to show a positive message about masks and social distancing.
30 minutes later, the two of them are on stage with a dozen people, most not masking correctly, hugging and dancing and holding hands.

Why would normal people follow CDC guidelines if the President-elect won't do it?

This is why I hate the idea of forced quarantines like what some cuntries like Giant North Korea did.

Imagine getting false positive test and getting sent to the covidward and then a covid nurse infects you for real?


And what about nurses health who are not infected yet? Having infected nurses in a close environment like a hospital ward would just increase the Virus pool

 

[Big Nasty Edison]

This thread is a hoot.

Now its Biden's fault a conservative red state is at hospital capacity.

Ho-lee fuck. I've had multiple Trump supporting posters argue that its completely normal for hospital icu capacity to be high.

 

[Yehudim]

When it comes to hospitals reaching max capacity, lockdown and mandatory masks are absolutely justified.

what do you suggest we do?


The new cases for the last two weeks have absolutely dwarfed our worst peak


Hospitals are going to get hit with a massive wave
