At my hospital...
💊 RED PILL 💊
I work for a VA hospital. Privy to higher up information. Literally every hospital has triple digit employees out with covid, obviously the vast majority (90%) are vaccinated, while actual veterans coming in (much lower vaccination rate) is pretty low and most are sent home. I truly believe the dark winter, that's only going to get worse, will be one for the vaccinated, especially those who have gotten a booster. We aren't overcrowded, but at the same time, we are greatly understaffed. I wonder when the medical staff are going to wake up. A majority are still part of big pharmas flock.
Seems like the hospitals would want to test their employees, because a positive diagnosis gets them the Covid modifier on payment/reimbursement. I wonder, though, if lots of these employees are getting the seasonal flu. Hospital employees can't be at work with anything communicable to patients, so they stay home for safety. Other jobs aren't so watchful. (not condoning going to work sick, though)
Any chance some of these shortages are a form of 'blue flu'?
