ask George's wife about her opinion of agency nurses
Her place (the university) never had agency ("temp") nurses in the ICU.
My bride worked as an agency ICU nurse for about a year back in the early 1990s. One day a week, perhaps two days per month. She hated it. Always felt behind the 8-ball. Always felt like she never got to "know the place."
And, she always got the shittiest patients.
Do you want that taking care of you?

Today is the peak day for ICU beds and the decline begins
Nationally less than half of available ICU beds are in use. Of course that doesn’t account for specific states but still ICU availability was a burning issue some months ago and now we can start looking at the reality.
PS don’t look at national ventilator use. It’s a fourth of what Coumo wanted for his state alone back in March.

How did the CDC do for the IFR again? I mean when this began.

I disagree with Jolly about a lot of things, but I'd trust him regarding hospital logistics every time.

The ICU bed problems still exist down here. Although, it may have slacked a little.
I served as a pallbearer last week. She was the second death in the community within seven days.
The lack of stories dovetails with states like Michigan opening up businesses two days after inauguration.

Do a google news search on ‘ICU capacity’. I see lots of stories on NoCal and Texas in the last 24 hours.

First thing as saw. Multiple articles. Liked the title of this one the most as ending lockdown is suddenly important.
