Have to cancel our Christmas Eve party.

We have three regional hospitals, each had level 1 trauma center within the last three-five years. These were geared to support a mass casualty event at our local chemical company. Ballad Health bought out all of the hospitals and closed two of the trauma centers (reducing staff as a cost saver), leaving the ERs totally functional and mothballing the trauma rooms. The trauma center rooms are still existent and functional in the ER department and the only thing keeping them from being activated if needed is staffing. Just saying that we were lucky in the fact that treatment space for covid in our hospitals was never threatened even though we did not have the staffing to activate the rooms. IIRC there was a plan to activate NG medical unit to staff those rooms in case of emergency.

Sounds about right. It’s much like we are seeing anywhere….there’s little to no staff. Or a restaurant with a limited menu due to limited supplies. We really aren’t doing great through this thing.

I hate to say it, but I didn’t observe this in Europe. Not saying the way they do things is better (it’s not). But, there were no thin or bare shelves in stores. There were no limited menus or staff shortages.

Approaching 1200 posts. Looks like @TigerBait1971 and @RobBase (c) will have to throw down in order to determine a champion!

Of course @Flavortown Tebow will suck off the winner. (Loser settles for a rim job).

We used to pick them out of cow patties in college. Stuff them in a sock and boil them. Add some Kool-Aid mix and you are ready to party for several hours.

That's how we did them....exactly how we did them in fact. Hmmm...wonder if we ever tripped on them together?

Fever broke a bit, and down to 99.5 degrees. I don't know if it's covid or not, but I haven't had a fever like that since I was kid.

I'm battling some sickness right now as well. No fever and my taste and smell are still intact so it must be the flu. Achy as shit....woozy feeling when I stand up. I'll be fine and feeling normal for 15 minutes then suddenly a "wave" of discomfort overcomes me. Start getting clammy and sweaty....only to start feeling very cold soon after. Hot and cold flashes...ugh! It's been going on for 2 1/2 days now....hope it is almost done and over soon.

That’s what I’ve been observing here. Couple of folks in family have been feeling like this. One of them got a positive test for Flu A.

Apparently that fucker is making all the rounds right now too.

Have you had unprotected sex with a Haitian prostitute recently?

Just barfed, and have been ass vomiting for a couple hours. Taken 3 waist high showers this evening. Guts are just absolutely wrenching. Body aches went away, but I had a single cough earlier that made all my joints hurt, and couldn't move for a minute. This is weird. I felt great for a couple hours, after my fever broke, and now I'm right back in the thick of it.

damn dude. Sorry to hear this. Gotta be honest, this is exactly what others I’ve known say about this illness. It comes and goes. They said they felt better during the day but at night it comes back.

Gotta keep your immune system strong. Have you thought about the monoclonal antibody treatment? You need a script for it. If you don’t know a doc who will write one try going to the hospital and getting one.
