Well, from Renee's perspective, it's the wrong call ... not for the patients, but for the burnout. She's worked 9 12-hour shifts and 1 14-hour shift in the last 11 days, after only 1 day off. The previous streak was an 8 consecutive day streak, 12-hours per day. That money could have been used to hire some support staff to man the phones, something like candy stripers to help with the rooms, another refrigerated truck to hold the dead bodies, etc. It's not clear to me whether the laity know quite how bad it is.
It has little to do with the patients and mostly to do with the skills and workforce supply chain. On 1/27/22 08:57, Marcus Daniels wrote:
It isn't clear it is the wrong call? The public health measures have been ineffective (contact tracing) or unpopular. And by the time people are in hospitals, if they are unvaccinated, it's just a crowded place for them to die. One of the main values of testing now seems to be to track spatial movement of new strains as they occur. The home testing also suffers from high false positive and negative rates. -----Original Message----- From: Friam <friam-boun...@redfish.com> On Behalf Of glen Sent: Thursday, January 27, 2022 8:23 AM To: friam@redfish.com Subject: [FRIAM] check your units before turning in your quiz When is an ounce of prevention NOT worth a pound of cure?
