In fairness, his mask is as effective in lowering cases as the cloth one everyone is wearing. Absolutely. Thulis meme needs to be totally dissected for accuracy. It'll give the cult something to do..

Oxbox, based on your experience, what is the approximate number of beds that are used by elective procedures at any given time? The total number of staffed beds in ND is 1931......Covid hospitalization rates seem to fluctuate in the 170-180 range. Are there 1500 beds a day occupied by unplanned visitors like heart attack victims or are there alot of back surgeries clogging up the system?

TheFlop Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 3 minutes ago, Oxbow6 said: Answer is both. So it's a combo platter. Is the ability there for the health system to flex more beds if Covid hospitalizations ever jumped significantly from let's say 170 to 300? I.e. could people get a couple days notice that their elective was cancelled.... instantly freeing up a significant number of beds? Generally speaking of course.

The Sicatoka Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Is there data from prior years showing hospital occupancy during October or February? How do we compare to a "normal" year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't fit the narrative and it would make people panic less if they realized hospitals routinely operate just fine with minimal excess capacity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also his mask does about as much good blocking Covid as 99.9% of the masks out there. You nailed it buddy! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you build hospitals like you build churches? You don't build a church for Christmas or Easter. You build so it's affordable through the year, and full at peak times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Where is "George" campaigning today? What I noticed is what the Brits dared say in the link: Jill whispered something to him. Based on that clip from yesterday Trump should start calling Jill Biden ... "Jeff Dunham". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxbow6 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 So Dr. Birx was in Bismarck visiting with Burgum today. Birx feels wearing masks mitigates the spread. Doug does not. So instead they both seemed to agree a crucial step will be more testing and isolating/quarantining more asymptomatic "silence spreaders" targeting the 20-40 year old age group.

It doesn't fit the narrative and it would make people panic less if they realized hospitals routinely operate just fine with minimal excess capacity. Another ramification of previously shutting stuff down. In addition to the dramatic drop in cancer diagnosis, there is a pent up demand for other medical services which were needlessly put off while the hospitals/clinics sat empty. Now the "crush the curve" strategy is actually going to lead to a shortage of space. Chalk it up to "unintended consequences" which were completely obvious to anyone with a hint of common sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on your logic, positivity rate should be pretty low with all these people just getting tested to get free stuff. Yet here we are with a 10.6% 14-day rolling average positivity test rate that continues to trend upward. And that number is the better on of the two, the positivity rate for those testing for the first time is near double that. We'll find out if today's numbers were just the standard Monday downtrend or things are finally heading the other direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 ND DOH stats: Statewide total staffed beds: 1851 Percent staffed beds available: 13.94% (258) <-- that means 1593 (86.06%) are occupied. Hospitalized with Covid*: 256 Again, how does 86.06% occupied beds in ND in the fourth week of October compare to prior years. (And we have to do percentages because of the new ten-story monument to Denny in southwest Fargo coming online in 2019.) *meaning as primary reason or in for other reason but have virus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
