I'm hosting an ICU covid nurse
here in San Diego. She keeps me up to date on the facts. Normally an ICU has 1 patient per room and 2 patients per nurse. Now in her hospital (Sharp in Chula Vista) they have 2 patients per room and 3 patients per nurse.
I've posted this before but will again: My Trumper cousin claims that covid is not airborne. I knew that it was but checked with my nurse and she says that it is in 2 forms (I'm sure most of you here know this). 1 is air droplets from coughing and sneezing and 2 is aerosol just from breathing. It can go through masks, but masks keep down the "viral load" which determines how sick you get. Also the 6 foot rule is helpful.
