Diets, Decaf & Other Dubious Deeds

What we do when we're not masked...
People don't understand why the masks aren't working. It's not just the masks. It's not just the distancing. It's not just the staying home. It's a combination of all three. And if you're only doing 1 or 2 of those things some of the time instead of all 3 all of the time then you are in essence doing nothing more than helping the spread of COVID.

We must band together as a country and mask all the time whenever we go anywhere. We must distance every time we go somewhere. We must have the patience to stay home and stay away from others to help stop the spread. Is this a popular train of thought? No. But unless people start following the rules those vaccines are going to be pointless. But who will listen? Who is willing to stand up and do the right thing in the face of a world that his hell bent on their own selfishness and attitudes?

If you can't manage to pull it together long enough to do your part in this fight for our survival without pitching a fit cuz you don't get to have your way, then you have no right to complain when the day comes that there's no available bed for you at the ICU.
 

They will be starting vaccinations tomorrow afternoon starting with Drs, nursing and ER staff. I told the employee health nurse I wanted to discuss this with my primary and see how things go for the others before I even think about it. I will let you know if I hear anything.
 

As of yesterday we now have 45 COVID patients. Four are on ventilators. Seven are in ER waiting for rooms. They are going to the next step of opening part of the 3rd floor with double occupancy rooms. After this they will have to close the clinic and bring the staff over to us. Once we reach capacity they will be ending all the surgeries at the surgical center across the street and they will house some of the less sick COVID patients. After that we will be down to the final phase of getting a field hospital and morgue trucks.

Things are going to be pretty ugly here in a couple more weeks I think. Things are happening faster and keeping up at work is getting more difficult.

We have over 100 staff infected with it. Mostly they are coming to work with it and infecting others because they don't follow the safety protocols outside of work.

I've heard that some hospitals have closed. I don't know where but I can't imagine how bad things had to get for that to happen. Wonder what people are doing with no hospital care at all. This is all because people refuse to follow the rules. They have only themselves to blame for the pickle we are in right now.
 
I have an update...
I'm not sure as I'm starting to lose count but I think we have close to 60 COVID patients as of today. The CMO is going to try to get some more info on the vaccine for me.

We had 2 in our dept that weren't feeling well. One has gone home to get tested. Today is the first day I actually felt like I had a small spark of energy and I wasn't totally wiped out after work. Our breakfast cook today had to leave due to COVID symptoms so I went to the back and helped them get stuff ready so they could start the line on time.

Have a little bit of an appetite tonight. Didn't earlier. So I don't know.
 
Another long and busy day ahead. Hopefully it won't be a bad day. I'm supposed to be off the weekend. Hopefully that will happen. Everyone have a good day!
 
Today's numbers...

The total for the county is now 3,633, with 1,379 cases that are actively being monitored by the Health Department. The total number of recoveries is now at 2,208. The Health Department also reported no additional deaths Friday, keeping the total number at 46. There have been 9,762 negative tests countywide.


All I got to say is we had a crap ton of COVID trays and we're housing quite a few in the ER as they work to get rooms opened for them. Their just rolling into the ER all day now. I'm sure after Christmas shit is gonna hit the fan and by New Years...*SMH & sighing*
 
I have found myself thinking of days past. Back when I was youthful and wild and risky. Some memories aren't too bad. I remember the days when I partied and didn't really have too many worries. Life sure changes when you grow up. Kinda makes me wonder if we're not better off dying young.

A little music from those days...
 
I have a grocery order in and I'm waiting on the delivery at this point. I have a little wash and some dishes to do. Also gonna be doing some gaming today. I'm gonna go play my Sims game while I'm waiting on my groceries. CU all later.
 
I don't know if the people shopping for Instacart are getting tired after 9 months of this crap or if they're just not paying attention but I'm having more issues with the delivery services and I'm starting to get annoyed. I hope we get to a place where I can safely return to doing my own grocery shopping.
 
Good morning. Hope everyone is well today. Relaxing and enjoying a 2nd day off. It's nice to be able to rest.
 
One of the things I do is write when I'm stressed or down. I just wrote this a few minutes ago.

Drowning


Drowning in the Silence
Blinded by the Darkness

Always Alone
So far from Home

Longing for More
Stressed to the Core

No end in Sight
Struggling to survive the Plight

What will the future Hold
Only time has the design for that Mold

In the face of Death
Will this be my last Breath

Drowning in the Deep
My soul I give to you to Keep
