Yea, south Florida. Nobody is surprised. Mostly 30s-50s vented in our hospital. The main common denominator is they're mostly all obese. They're also barring visitors from coming into the hospital again. They had a good run (like 2-3 weeks?). It's back to facetime/whatapp/zoom.

What is your guys' testing protocol for new admits? I've been reading statistics coming from Florida where 1/3 of all hospital admits, all causes, were testing positive for corona.
I'm supposed to be starting my final clinical rotation (physical therapy) at a major trauma center at the end of the month, where I will be in the STICU and trauma ICU. By the terms of my program's agreement with the hospital, I'm not allowed to treat covid+ patients. However, in past rotations, I've had physicians refer pt's for PT before screens came back. Nearly got exposed to TB because of that.
Like are you treating every pt as a possible positive until you get a negative result? I have a feeling this is going to be such a shitshow of a rotation.
