The numbers are not only COVID counts. It’s a total beds that have patients. ( surgery patients-other related sickness )CEO of hospitals explained! The numbers for covid is down in the hospitals. Stop panicking . Yes new viruses bringing in new patients. Get the shot! Be careful. Prayers for border to be close, they are bringing in virus and more.

When you were offered $5000 a week did you have to travel to the Carolina’s, or did you get that money in Florida?

$25,000 sign-on bonus for nurses in Arkansas.

Not meaning to argue with you but how are they treating infections and what is the increase in survival rate due to their new found treatment?

I think you would need to direct that question to the person I was responding to. I think his post included something like 5000 deaths from the vaccine and other nonsense.

But to question your question, who is treating what infections with what that increases survival from what?

So, keep throwing your taxpayer money away on an inept product!

Care to back up that "accepted fact"?

Not that I don't take your word for it, but I don't...

Since you are the resident expert I was asking how the hospital patients were being treated and how the recent success has changed the survival rate. The reason I ask is that they do not seem to need the respirators as much as they did in the beginning of the crisis. I would think that the success they have had in hospitals would be a positive factor in survival rate of the virus.

30,000 deaths from auto accidents every year (roughly) so, if we say ALL of them are attributed to COVID and not drunk driving or running off clifts etc. Then, please explain away the other 570,000 COVID deaths.

The CDC states that of the supposed 600K+ covid deaths, only 300K (or so) were directly due to covid...

Small facility’s that really need help don’t have that kind of money. Plus not only do they pay the staff, the agency get a hefty cut.

Couldn't find the Missouri post but Ads like this are popping up on my FB page.

Well, I've been retired 6 years so I am not actively treating COVID patients in an inpatient setting. I do however still talk with colleagues that are still in practice and have a reasonable understanding of medicine.

I think the answer to your question is multifactorial:

First, even a year ago, I think the media hype over mechanical ventilation was more than the number of respirators that were actually used----NY is a good example.

Next, the treatment remains largely supportive----fluids, mechanical ventilation if needed, standard antivirals and the usual antibiotics for secondary bacterial infections.

And some of these patients have been vaccinated so they probably do better because of that.

But probably the biggest reason for better survival is that providers have gained more experience treating these cases---almost all diseases do better as experience treating them is gained.

The border is closed. It has been closed since last year, except for unaccompanied children. Where did you get your information?

The following is from Homeland Security, but I have not been to the border to see for myself, and I'm certainly not going to listen to politicians tell me there is a crisis.
