Remdesivir and better treatment options (heated high-flow vs vents) has drastically altered the outcomes in Chicago hospitals. Thats good to hear. Sadly it seems like the mad rush to ventilators was part of the huge death counts we saw in NY and Milan. At least we know better now. I guess the question is do we have enough of a supply of remdesivir, oxygen, and other treatments to handle this surge if we keep seeing more patients hospitalized in the south?

Also, tell your charming bride thanks from all of us - running an ICU has to be one of the toughest gigs around. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a giant cube, 2 monitors, fully stocked kitchen, AC, I can talk to people who aren't my Fiancee and I can easily get more work done vs being at home in a tiny office with no AC and a limited supply of snacks/drinks. However, the flexible hours are a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are people too I was just thinking about that, considering I have the weekend to myself AND I would have totally played the Scooby-Doo one but I don't think I ever got an invite. Really I just look for games with themes I am interested in and when I have enough time to properly invest in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
