Drama queen much? How was she supposed to show she cared more? Not much for math if you think it’s 3 years just turned 2 actually. Did your boy Cuomo show he cared more? 😉
There was nearly a 90 patient drop in Covid over the last 2 days between the 3 hospitals.
12% Covid patients use about 50% of their bed capacity, based on them taking up beds for >4x longer than "regular" patients.
What is their bed capacity now with the healthcare mandate? How many have left the workforce or moved jobs after working for a year plus without the vaccine?
He thinks nurses are quitting in droves due to the vaccine mandate. Something with zero proof of, but Fox says it so its gotta be true.
I think I can help with this whole PaN Pam thing...

It doesn't have much to do with the healthcare mandate. Most healthcare systems required it long ago. It's nurses leaving to get paid 4x more as a "traveling" nurse. Some will just go across the street and others will get their rent, travel and food paid for in another state.
Will the left ever STFU about the China Flu? No one gives two shits anymore, wise the f**k up.
I apologize for the confusion. I was not actually asking the question, just mearly altering it in a way Joe won't be able to play dumb to. I do appreciate the response.
Give Joel a break. He can't afford any state that has zero state taxes, not even SoDak.
No you don't.
That's what you're here for. Sow confusion.
I work for UIHC and I did not get an "emergency capacity warning". In the this pandemic, I have yet to get an "emergency capacity warning".
I'll check my mail in the morning to see if that this is there and get back to you. As of today, UIHC had 60 Adult Covid + patients and 5 Peds + patients. We are far from "at emergency capacity" and haven't shut electives or clinics.
Outstanding.
“We cannot continue to suspend duly enacted laws and treat COVID-19 as a public health emergency indefinitely. After two years, it’s no longer feasible or necessary. The flu and other infectious illnesses are part of our everyday lives, and coronavirus can be managed similarly,” stated Gov. Reynolds. “State agencies will now manage COVID-19 as part of normal daily business, and reallocate resources that have been solely dedicated to the response effort to serve other important needs for Iowans.”

Well I know first hand from a number of healthcare workers who have been let go.
Congrats iowa. Wish we could do the same. My kid missed 3 days of school this week because some kid in his class was in class last Friday and tested positive over the weekend.
Ridiculous.
Ridiculous.
As someone who whines about misinformation so much it’s pretty ironic that you both post this misinformation.Uh. The largest hospital system in the state literally issued an emergency notification about COVID this morning:
I will you know listen to the guy with actual numbers
and thankfully UIHC has emergency room capacity as we know of multiple people transferred there in last week for non Covid related issues
Quite a lot more have been quitting, dealing with MAGA outbursts from anti-vaxxers claiming they don't have Covid, and from their families threatening them over not feeding them pee or horse paste.
If you're not grandfathered in, in Florida you are going to pay a hell lot more than those that have lived in the state 10 years. I spent 8 winters in Fl and got tired of moving back and forth every 5-6 months and the traffic is crazy Nov- April.
Most people are quitting not due to the vaccine mandate but more do to phucktards treating us like shite
Do you log on to Epic? There's been a capacity warning for quite a while now. Maybe you just ignor it? Nurse to patient ratios are getting to concerning numbers. What was once 1 to 4 as a norm is now 1 to 6 on some floors. The state has also started funding ~30 nurses to come to UIHC through a federal program if I'm not mistaken, which mostly staff our ICU. Nurses were also re-assigned a couple weeks ago to inpatient units to help decrease those ratios. We are also testing every patient again, which is causing quite a few problems when a positive result returns due to shared rooms. There was also an elevated number of ED admits today causing quite the sh*t show navigating patients since we are at max capacity and not canceling electives.
I'm not saying the sky is falling, but this "mission accomplished" came in the middle of what appears to be the final fire fight. It should likely have waited until then end of the month when the projections actually show a reduction in the concerning numbers that were shared in January.
Kim and the GOP wanna big tax cut for their base, and the $2B the Feds gave Iowa last year us the key to doing this! The cut is not sustainable but via continues “cuts” to human services, water quality programs and public education, the GOP will accomplish their goal… and Iowa will continue its race to be the next Kansas, Arkansas or Mississippi! Taxes, once lowered will be hard to raise. Sales tax will get larger, bet on it. The rich and wealthy will escape their weight and their specials interests (private schools, businesses and income) will be further protected… meanwhile more deserving, hard working Iowans will pick up the riches load as much as possible.
That is the way life works in Republican America/Iowa!

The only thing that makes any sense is Reynolds is effing up as much shit as she can so that her successor looks even more incompetent than she is.
Once she appoints herself to Senile Chuck's seat, the poor bastard that follows her will be left with a huge financial mess.
Mississippi North, and apparently proud as hell about it.

Never thought I would say this, but I finally found a reason to support a tax raise.
See ya Karen.
There have to be significant tax increases - likely on corporations and the wealthy to reverse the damage already done - to cover the massive deficit spending over the past decades and now during Covid.
Everyone freaks out at $1T or $3T on "domestic spending over 10 years, when our military spend during that same timeframe is $8T. Invest in energy infrastructure that weans us off Saudi/ME oil, and your military spend can reasonably be cut in half.
My students were in a local hospital icu yesterday for clinicals. Every bed in the icu had a covid patient on a ventilator. Saturday, there is a funeral for a local fire department captain who died of Covid pneumonia.
Maintenence guys don't log into epic. He just checks his emails and then goes off to find some corner to paint for the 20th time.
