Are they still building trips for April? I noticed trips are already appearing in open-time next month, and the amount of trips does not look good.

I was thinking the exact same thing when I opened MiCrew a few minutes ago. That can't possibly be it.

I saw that too. We’ll see what it looks like at 1800 tomorrow. 30 trips so far out of what is normally hundreds.

seems like a work in progress. Some of the trips don’t even make sense. Saw one that dead headed to Aus then the next leg was from CLT.

another laid over in Clt but deadheads from CMH the next morning.

Again, you aren’t personally at much risk here as a young healthy person. The risk is to the community at large and overburdening the health care system. Mortality is about 0.5-1%, 5-10x higher than seasonal flu, which is not huge but still serious. What makes this virus so bad is that up to 15% of people get ARDS, a severe illness requiring intensive care or mechanical ventilation, which if those numbers hold up will completely overwhelm our resources. Mortality will go way up because there won’t be enough vents for everyone. If we can slow transmission enough to spread the epidemic out even over a few more months, more people will recover leaving ICU beds open for the next folks who need them.

Congrats, you should be proud of your bro. Medicine is a truly noble profession. I mentioned my wife was an MD on here and have been shot in face. People. Glad to see they haven't gone after you.

Anyway, as any doc, my wife spent some time doing ER shifts. She did most of hers in 2008-2010ish. H1N1 time. ARDS was a threat with H1N1 as well. Nothing they haven't seen before. What they are really concerned about is a rush on the ERs/hospitals taking up valuable head space with non-threatening conditions. They're getting smart on the triage of this bug. Your bro should know more, ask.

There were 89.3 million H1N1 cases, 402,700 hospitalizations, and unfortunately 18,300 deaths. Our hospitals made it through that, we will certainly make it through this. We have the best health care people in the world. I wish your brother well, and he has my utmost respect. It's a heck of a job.

The NY governor in morning briefing had the clearest description ive heard on whats going on.

Its not a curve. Its a wave. And the battle is to not have the wave break so it overwhelms the available ICU beds.

He wasnt optimistic we are gona be able to do that. But that is the goal...control the patient flow thru ICU beds at a level that does not exceed availability.
