Advertising Member Seatofmypants Posted April 22, 2020 Advertising Member Share Posted April 22, 2020 Of 5,500 beds in the UPMC hospital system, only 2% are occupied by COVID-19 patients, as are 8% percent of intensive care beds, according to Yealy, who also said UPMC has strong supplies of protective equipment such as masks, shields and gowns. The 118 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 at UPMC hospitals are “not a significant increase from last week,” he said. Yealy further said the rate of positive coronavirus tests done through UPMC hospitals has dropped to 6.6 percent, down from 12 percent earlier in the pandemic, another sign the coronavirus threat is declining in areas served by UPMC. Moreover, UPMC has been hearing from patients who delayed surgeries related to things such as heart conditions or cancer, and is “not comfortable with the disruption in care this has caused for people who don’t have COVID-19,” he said. He said the surgeries that will be resumed might be called non-urgent because they are done on a scheduled rather than emergency basis, but are “essential” to people waiting for them. Yet Gov Wolf still has the entire fucking state locked down.......Gotta love living in PA. https://www.pennlive.com/news/2020/04/upmc-says-coronavirus-surge-simply-hasnt-happened-will-resume-elective-surgeries.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anler Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 If a hospital thinks it's safe to perform elective procedures then that is their right to determine. These people deal with infectious control everyday. Today is no different. It's called a hazard risk analysis and they are routine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 80 year old MIL got out of the hospital about 3 weeks ago. Ans she got the "flu" while she was there. She didnt die. The old broad was in for a heart procedure too.

Meh....good luck getting that to stick. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be at a hospital unless it was life or death. I do still go to the DR 3 times a week for my glorified tanning...that building has been empty for weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it sticks or not, the litigation cost can be outrageous. And yes, a jury could give an award. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a lot more now that the feds ruled that homes need to disclose covid infections or related deaths. There’s tons of homes around the country that have been concealing covid related deaths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
