To Vaccinate or Not---The Rat Flu Odyssey Continues
More anecdotal evidence but here in Issaquah where hospitals aren’t quite yet to crisis level I found it shocking to learn that the local hospital’s ICU has regularly been staffed 100% by travel nurses on a lot of shifts lately. Not a knock on travel nurses as my wife was one herself many years ago but it’s indicative of just how many veteran full time employees are utterly spent and burnt out after 18 months of this and have nothing left in the tank to deal with fuckwits who won’t even help themselves.

Honestly it’s such bullshit that people with non Covid related issues are getting the shaft. Time for all hospitals to start allocating a limited portion of ICU resources to Covid care and thus keeping it open and functional for those that didn’t have a choice to be there

Exactly. They are leaving because they’ve had enough of this bullshit that coulda been prevented.

Seem to me that the hospitals' woes are a self-inflicted wound. Yeah, Covid #s are a big problem, but THEY chose to lay off large swathes of their staff during 2020 and then got caught with their pants down during Delta after they had a hard time re-staffing. It's one of those "no shit, Sherlock" moments. Hard to feel bad for them when many a for-profit hospital system laid off staff whilst raking in record profits and paying outsized bonuses to their execs.
Truly sucks for the people who need non-Covid related care, but again, reduced bed capacity is due to staffing. Heads need to roll in the C-Suite. But nope! They'll just get another $20MM this year, give or take a few mil.

MF recycling arguments again.
Is it time in this thread for “it’s just a flu” - that took a bakers dozen attempts over a 12 month span before it fizzled out.
We could go with “we should do Sweden” - that one stays fresh

Its the HOSPITALS’ fault that they are full of unvaccinated COVID-19 patients!!!
LOL!
If only they had a bit more capacity, there would be no problem!
This is the average American. Stupider than a box of rocks (rocks dont believe outright false things) but arrogant as hell that he is so smart.

I just don’t get the “they are all going to walk” argument. All of these people have easily transferable skills that will get them a job with an organization that doesn’t require vaccination or are financially independent or have a spouse that can cover all the bills without a vaccine?

I already addressed this, for the most part they’re not quitting. It’s just a temper tantrum.
As far as staffing, staff are leaving to travel and make more money. It’s a racket. Addressing MF blaming hospitals that’s just regurgitated click bait headlines. We can staff beds, a good portion of them are full of Covid patients and we need a margin for inpatient care so we adjudicate “elective” surgeries to maintain the ability to care for the patients already in the hospital.
Hospital executives making bank is a separate issue but it makes people like Austin feel better to blame the man.

The great resignation—how do we support and retain staff already stretched to their limit?
https://blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2021/09/21...eVEgkVdhethM3Y
“ Eighteen unbroken months of responding to a pandemic have taken a brutal toll. Experiences of inadequate personal protective equipment (PPE), moral distress, challenging ethical decisions, colleagues debilitated and dying, all while striving to provide the best patient care, have left many disillusioned and wounded. This cohort of people are often not on the radar of their employers because they keep working to a high standard until they burn out and quietly withdraw from the job, unnoticed by the system.
The silent loss of highly skilled “go to colleagues”—expert clinicians, mentors, trainers, and key communicators—has a significant impact on patient care, training, career progression, and the workload of colleagues who remain. Loss of this “support framework” may add to the existing pressure on doctors from a high workload, leading to increased burnout, more adverse incidents, and greater patient harm.“

Last night on PBS when they were reporting that we'd passed the number of deaths for the Spanish flu they had an expert who said "well.... if you think of the population then and adjust for our population now that would really equal 2m deaths in today's world so we're not even close."
So it's not the flu?“When you see something that is not right, not just, not fair, you have a moral obligation to say something. To do something." Rep. John Lewis

Well we have a vaccine this time around, so account for all those prevented deaths.
