And They Actually Are Here To Help
by Bob Walsh
The feds have sent military medical teams to assist staffing at Lodi Memorial Hospital in Lodi and Dameron Hospital in Stockton. They have adequate space to deal with overflow of Covid-19 patients, but are critically short on staff. This also occurred back in July.
The current team is two doctors, two PAs, seven respiratory therapists, 24 RNs and assorted support staff. They are anticipating surges due to people getting together for family gatherings from Christmas and New Year celebrations. Strangely, transmissions from restaurant visits are less than 2% according to the contact tracing programs, but the restaurants are still shut down and people are going broke.
