The Watercooler : There are literally no more beds available

There are literally no more beds available

Not in ER, not in ICU, and not in the med-surg units. The majority are positive for COVID. Oh and the morgue is continuously full.

Never seen anything like this.

Stay away from the hospitals if you are able. You'll be in for a very long wait.

Re: There are literally no more beds available

Terrible. Is it because people didn't take precautions?

Re: There are literally no more beds available

There was a huge surge in COVID patients after Thanksgiving that we are still seeing. I'm honestly very nervous about the next few weeks. It likely won't be any better.

I think people are taking precautions but it is too difficult to stay away from family and avoid socializing. It's really scary. This huge volume is what they were expecting here in March and it never quite happened. We are really feeling it now.

Re: There are literally no more beds available

I wonder how things are around here, hospital capacity speaking?

Re: There are literally no more beds available

Not sure. I feel bad for the health care workers

Re: There are literally no more beds available

Me too. They're in a precarious situation all the time.

Re: There are literally no more beds available

Very overworked these days

Re: There are literally no more beds available

True. I don't envy them.

Are you serious?

Re: There are literally no more beds available

Completely.

I was in the ER and I heard the nursing supervisor say, "there are no beds." There are people who have been in the ER for 48 hours or more waiting for a bed to open up. And they're still waiting.

Re: There are literally no more beds available

Do you work in a hospital, or were you in ER for your own emergency?

Re: There are literally no more beds available

Work.

Re: There are literally no more beds available

Oh, I see. Hope you can remain safe. I know it must be tough, though, with cases all around.

That's awful to hear.

How did it go with your vaccination?

Re: There are literally no more beds available

So far, so good. Just some soreness from the injection but I took a few Tylenol and feel fine. Thank you for asking.

Did they ask Meghan Markle first if she was ok?

Re: There are literally no more beds available

What an absolute nightmare to be in… thank you for all that you do

Re: There are literally no more beds available

I'm trying to stay optimistic but it's hard.

Re: There are literally no more beds available

That sounds like a nightmare. Take care of yourself , AJ.

Are you in LA County or Orange? Or is this everywhere including all states?

Re: There are literally no more beds available

Orange.

Re: There are literally no more beds available

I believe you said you were in North Orange County. Do you know if it's bad in South OC like Mission Viejo hospital etc.?

Our family had our Thanksgiving celebration outside with social distancing (no hugs/kissing), hand washing, only 1 person serving food. Also doing Christmas outside. Our weather isn't bad here (so far).

Re: There are literally no more beds available

I know Hoag is starting to be overwhelmed. Not sure about Mission. But you will hear more and more about it in the coming days. Many of these people did not follow lockdown instructions so I would tell you to be VERY careful how you handle the holidays

I think the cities in California are closer together than in Florida. I think that's it.

Re: There are literally no more beds available

This week they will probably start putting up field hospitals in tents in hospital parking lots. There is just too much surplus and no more beds in the main hospital. I read we will be among the first to receive the Moderna vaccine as soon as it’s available

Re: There are literally no more beds available

But…but…the MAGA geniuses here say it's no big deal, like a cold.

Whatever that case, I sincerely admire and appreciate you guys working on the front-lines of it these days.

Re: There are literally no more beds available

Thank you. I’m just about to head in. . We’ll see what the day brings.

Re: There are literally no more beds available

I was psyched about getting the vaccine until I read that more and more people are getting allergic reactions to it. Many are just mild, but a fair number of them are getting moderate allergic reactions, and so far 6 have gotten anaphylactic reactions. I know that doesn't sound like a lot, but that was only based on 2 states, and not even with the first roll out finished.

They're doing Pfizer and Moderna, right?
