One is the loneliest number.

Eighteen months ago, OLOTL set up their first COVID ICU. There is now only one nurse left from the original batch of ICU nurses.

The rest have burned out and quit.

As of today, the staff is comprised of nurse pulled from mostly the OR Recovery unit and travelers. There are 22 patients awaiting ICU beds this morning.

And this is why one should get the vaccine.

And I assume they're all unvaccinated and younger.

Not all, I don't think.

As of yesterday, about 9% of what they had in that hospital were breakthrough cases, so I'm sure one or two if those awaiting a bed have probably been vaccinated.
