SoCal: Currently Available ICU Capacity Drops to 0.0%
- Thread starter Syriel
- Start date
Could just be me, but the thread title reads as if there is no one in the ICU in SoCal, not "no rooms available".
Terrible. Really hope the vaccine turns things around.

People in California ignored the lockdown and nobody enforces shit so here's your result. Plus people are selfish pieces of shit.
Wow. That's some scary shit. Again, not just COVID19 but the whole health system.
When you talk to idiots who say COVID19 won't do anything to them, I have to always let them know it's not about you dying, you dumb fuck. It's about controlling the spread and keeping our health system intact.

I just remember when 9/11 happened the country was mostly unified. We waged bullshit wars and vowed never again and what have you. Now we're losing more people per day than were lost then, and instead the right focuses on non-existent election fraud and has made wearing a damn mask a political issue. It's insanity. Any further claims of patriotism or being pro-life should be laughed off the planet.
Capacity is at 100 percent is more parseable IMO. But I guess it's like a countdown.
Some masks. Not really enforced around where I live or in her office. Just a bunch of stupid people.
Sounds like BS honestly.California is fucked. This is happening near me at restaurants. Barely anyone cares anymore.
Not sure being a fucking moron is a preexisting health issue.California is fucked. This is happening near me at restaurants. Barely anyone cares anymore.
Even if the bed could, and it's not about the physical beds, you also need ICU nurses that have different training to regular nurses.
That's also why building a military field hospital only does so much. Cool, we have 50 more ICU beds but unless we have something like 3-4 times that in ICU nurses to go along with it it's kinda pointless.
What kind of pre-existing health condition prevents you from wearing a mask but also allows you to work in a restaurant, where you are presumably moving often?
No one has actually experienced any COVID related deaths where I work, so everyone is non-chalant about it all. A few co-workers have gotten it but its been basically asymptomatic cases and they tend to make some jokes about it all.
Not wishing the worst obviously, but personally I think it helps fuel this behavior that its not a big deal.
Just IMO of course, but its the vibe I get from my co-workers and I'm guessing it probably extends to other people as well.

A hospital being full with a never-ending string of new illnesses is a truly nightmarish scenario. It's the kind of information that should chill people to the bone, yet most will continue on with their day without a mask and without social distancing.
This is mega fucking TURBO bullshit.California is fucked. This is happening near me at restaurants. Barely anyone cares anymore.
Then again, Strip Clubs in San Diego just won the right to stay open while their court case is pending, so the legal system is fucked in the head.

This. Title is has a completely different meaning without available in there.
Sure, but what about patients with non-immediate emergency needs who need recovery beds?
What about the staff with the proper training to handle these patients?
What about the equipment? Proper protection to keep other patients from catching COVID if they were suddenly moved into other parts of a hospital?
We are low on everything right now, not just beds. What makes this worse is that we need space for other emergencies, too.
In California this is not just a republican thing. I've been stunned by the ignorance on display from all walks of life these last few months.
Heads up for everyone to download the
CA Notify app to see if you've been near anyone who reported positive. Of course being opt-in makes it almost worthless, but it's better than nothing.

What the absolute fuckCalifornia is fucked. This is happening near me at restaurants. Barely anyone cares anymore.
Yeah the wording is "we're at 100% capacity" to indicate you have zero space. I knew what was supposed to be meant but if the thread title used the actual wording from the screen capture, "current available ICU capacity" it would have been better.
Has nothing to do with the physical beds. That's just a placeholder name for specialized care.
I know people who went on a road trip recently and a nurse who regularly has massive private gatherings with friends. The lack of fucks given is astounding. But hey they wear masks in public!.
Call your doctor or an urgent care center and do a on-phone consultation. From there a doctor will determine what sort of treatment you need to undergo and probably send you to a non-emergency facility or schedule an office visit.
If you end up at the hospital because of that, you'll get triaged depending on severity and availability, but that kind of injury (broken leg) doesn't need an ICU bed. More than likely be on a hallway bed in the ER assuming the rest of the hospital is struggling for bed space.
generally, would that be a ICU deal?
got it.
What are the general types of ICU cases?
This country is literally a failed state. Jesus fucking ChristCalifornia is fucked. This is happening near me at restaurants. Barely anyone cares anymore.
This is especially bad because ERs are always packed during the holidays esp on NYE. People falling on ice and breaking something, accidentally cutting themselves while cooking, suicide attempts, overdoses, etc. A lot of people are going to die/suffer needlessly. Stay safe, Era.
It still is. California has a LOT of Republicans. We just happen to have more Democrats, but in terms of raw numbers, well, here's the latest XKCD map:
Supergroup
If you read the alt-image text, CA has more Trump voters than Texas.
Stuff that needs constant monitoring. Think post-ops from invasive surgeries, lung/cardiac stuff (heart attacks and the like), serious infections.
