It Sucks To Be In The Top Ten

[White 6]

Usually it would be considered good to be in the top 10 in the country, but not so if it is Coronavirus numbers. Yesterday, or actually today, ending at 7:00 PM. Tennessee was 10th in the nation on Total Cases confirmed, 10th on new cases and also 10th on new deaths. I will be glad when they get this crap under control.

What is your ICU bed percentage used? Personally I stopped looking at case numbers awhile ago and focused on serious cases. Arizona ICU bed usage is just about at nominal levels, so unless the college kids go ape shit, we should be ok.

All meaningless. The only way to get an infectious virus under control is to develop an effective vaccine. We are at least many months away from any chance of that.

Did not see percentage of ICU Beds used. Am aware local hospital has added rooms that were normal rooms specific dedicated to Covid, and intensive care Covid, as JMCGH is the largest hospital in West TN between Memphis and Nashville and gets a large inflow of routine critical care from here and the surrounding counties as well as Covid as the smaller hospitals in the outlying towns do not have the resources, rooms, staffing or concentration of specialist to deal with many types of illness and injury critical care including Covid.

Note: The most recent hospital data from West Tennessee Healthcare was released August 31 at 9:30 a.m. This article will be updated when new data is released.

Jackson-Madison County General Hospital reported treating 116 patients for COVID-19 as of August 31. It is the highest reported number of coronavirus-related patients since the beginning of the pandemic.

I think your correct. My typical joke is I plan to linger, which I know is not much of plan. In actuality we comply with the required masking, use sanitizer and practice good hygiene and avoid crowd of strangers. Other than that we live pretty much as usual, just not traveling much compared to most years since we retired. In all the stores is is unusual to see anybody not masked. The almost vertical spike in mid/late june has people taking it serious. Amazing that before that we were less than 500 cases and only 2 deaths, now above 2500 and 47+ dead, 3 of them just yesterday.
If they come out with a vaccine, we will give it a couple of months to see if it starts killing people and then line up to take. Hope it is not an every 3-6 month deal, as I hear not even my Covid anti-bodies will actually protect me after 3 months.
