Right now Ebola is sucking up most of the air, but this Ev D68, is something to be very concerned about too. I’m trying to keep up on both.
With the flu season coming on, this is really shaping up to be a very problematic season. Ebola, Ev D68, flu, H1N1, H5N1, pick your poison.
I wouldn’t want to be an ER or any other medical worker this year. All this stuff with similar symptoms. Our local news reported that the hospitals in St. Louis are concerned there won’t be enough respirators and isolation rooms to deal with it all.
In 2008, the flu season was so bad that the hospital in St. Louis had patients in the hallways, and had to bring people in to work from all over the state on their days off.
Exactly and when the ER is overwhelmed as in St. Louis? The medical establishment is only able to take care of a limited amount of people in a “snapshot” of time. Illegal Immigrants have slammed many small hospitals into closing. What happens when an pandemic hits? Not enough equipment for “support” care until your body heals?
