Luckily hospitals will be fully staffed during Christmas…
Don’t you hate it, when you know what you are getting for Christmas beforehand?
> However, the DIVI said a shortage of nursing staff means Germany now only has about 9,000 beds where patients can receive artificial respiration, down from 12,000 a year ago.
Shit, we should have clapped more for them.
Perfect timing 👌
What else is going to go wrong?
There are really people in this country who complain that ICU capacity was not adapted for Covid:
30% more beds would allow for 3 to 4 days more partying at Germany’s unmitigated transmission number of ~ 1.45. Even totally unrealistic tripling would only allow for two weeks of case growth.
Therefore, the absolute number has no use for years to come, until the possible unmitigated peak is in the same order of magnitude as the hospital beds.
So discussing more ICU beds for Covid now is a sure sign of a depraved society that is incapable of basic hygiene, that does not understand even the most basic nonlinear math, and worst of all, that has no respect for their elders.
