We are overwhelmed, ICU is full. In fact almost our entire hospital is full. The floor I'm on is the only one with empty beds. It's the momma/baby floor. Please, don't accuse hospitals of not caring (physically or emotionally) for patients. Some get the virus and have no symptoms. Some get it and are sick but don't need hospitalization. Others are gravely ill and can be hospitalized 4-6 weeks or longer. We cannot help it if people won't mask up around grandma and don't bring her to the hospital until she's critically ill.

Currently there is no cure for Covid-19. Hospitals can offer supportive care only and try a few antiviral drugs that were originally developed for other viruses. At least that's what's available to the general public. Deaths are starting to move north of a thousand American fatalities a day again and hospitals in some areas are being overwhelmed. Please help out by wearing a mask in public and social distancing. You could save someone's life. BTW, the flu vaccine works just fine. The only time I got the flu as an adult was during one of the few years when I got too busy to get the vaccine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-76066393322644335912020-10-27T23:16:36.069-05:002020-10-27T23:16:36.069-05:00There is no cure for COVID.
