Likely my last little COVID tidbit here for a while


Aug 1, 2021, 9:46 PM

I AM NOT GOING TO CHANGE ANYONE'S MIND.

This is more for y'all to have info if you want it. Not for me. And this is SOLEY what I can speak to in my hospital.

I wanted to follow up with something from yesterday that @runjumpcatch mentioned about my example of the young healthy looking 32 yo male admitted to our ICU with COVID... He suggested that example to be the exception. If this were the "first wave" so to speak, he'd be correct.
I intimated this to be different, but wanted to see the numbers.

So as I wrap up my shift, I looked at the pt list for ICU. We have 30 beds.
Today 10 beds are COVID pos and requiring either bipap or intubation. None of them are vaccinated.

Their ages/sex:
40yom
65yom
32yom
59yom
34yof
43yom
41yof
40yof
64yof

2 weeks ago we had 5 total HOSPITAL inpatients, including med surg, Tele, and ICU.

This morning we have 50.

As I sit here and scan the ED pt list and see people in the ED with COVID (doesn't mean they'll be admitted, but they are here for a reason!!), I see:

38yom
53yom
82yom
60yom
54yof

Half of the 91 people in the ED right now do not yet have a diagnosis next to their name.

This is just the raw data.

So, I thought I'd do a quick subjective look here in the ICU, ask their RNs if the pts were chronically ill.

2 of the 10 obviously obese.
6 have hypertension and/or diabetes, including the 2 obese.
The other 4 were seemingly young with no chronic illness, including the man I used in my original example who is still here.


OF COURSE I want people to get vax, for many reasons... but that in no way invalidates what's being presented here.

Like I started, I'm not going to change anyone's mind, and that's up to each of you.

I am your Tiger Brother, a dislocated-in-Cali good hearted Southern Man. I am not a politician. I am not an agenda driven news agency. I am not looking to rack up followers on some social media platform or argue anyone. There is nothing arguable in my post that I can see, nor is there any need for name calling or arguments anyhow.

Take the info, do as you will, and please be well.
