I am becoming more nervous out now, there are way too many people falling for the Government blurred reality and behaving as if things are pretty much back to normal. They are not. Trying to find out what is happening is becoming way too difficult, almost as though it is deliberate.
Then last night the news carried a bit about how the 'R' factor in Germany has suddenly shot up to 1.7. That's not good.

Stop it Channers; you’re beginning to sound more and more like my dear, departed mother-in-law. 😉

Sounds though I would like to have met your mother-in-law. Anyway, the R factor in Germany is now above 3 and the virus has spiralled in the US. This was always going to happen when lockdown was released. So, just don't fall into the trap of thinking everything is OK. Obviously it will be in the end, but just not now. Stay safe. |

The first plane* came in this morning - get away, you horrible plague-ridden Brits!  Just as we're down to zero cases, we open the borders to import some more, f'in idiots. (*excluding the emergency service to Southampton for medical reasons) |

Britain is among the countries hit hardest by Covid-19.It has been slow on testing, slow on supplying PPE to NHS and care home workers, sent care home residents back to care homes from the NHS, slow on going into lockdown, has no quarantine for international arrivals. The list is endless. Actions have consequences. It's tragic so far. The ramifications when this passes will be intense.

Last week I was covering a hospital on the outskirts of Austin. Not much covid there - but we were very busy, to some degree due to ER to ER transfers from Austin hospitals that were at capacity due to covid.
This week I am in Austin (at hospitals under a different management group) and half my census is covid. I was asking an icu doc how full they are. His answer- the icu is at 100% capacity, all covid. The IMC (intermediate care, stepdown unit) was originally repurposed as the non-covid ICU, and but is now half full of covid. For less critical patients one wing of a floor was designated covid isolation, and is now full with patients spilling into general medicine wards. Basically, everyone is on divert and enacting contingency plans. My wife was on a call yesterday where she was told she should be prepared to be called into service on general medicine. And the daily new admissions are showing no signs of slowing.
Our governor just today finally mandated public mask use (with the exception of in churches, due to religious freedom!!! Smh) whereas the lieutenant governor was publicly saying Fauci doesn’t understand pandemic disease (double smh).
Wake me up when 2020 ends.

Was just thinking of you orde They’ve just done an item on Sky News over here about Covid in Texas. Despite spiralling infection rates the death rates are fairly low and they were at a hospital in Houston where they are giving a cocktail of steroids, anti coagulants and vitamins which seems to be doing the job and survival rates are over 95%. Hang in there. |

Hang in there. Which leads me to another thought, I spend at least half my time now questioning whether what I see and read is actually true and what the journalists angle actually is? there are very few that I actually trust, and even than I wonder if the details fed to them are correct. Wasn't technology supposed to make information more readily available? Instead misinformation seems to rule these days. |
