Hey I'm open to information. How many beds can be adequately taffed? I mean, if they have a plan to have a maximum of 600 beds I would assume they have a plan on how to staff and equip them.

I honestly can't believe people continue to be this daft. There isn't even active cross training going on at the moment, and some units have had to modify shift schedules just to maintain their own staffing. Its not a direct swap from floor nursing to intensive care nursing, so you can't just say well we have x amount of nurses so we can make this work. I mean, for comparison sake, could you have a proctologist doing your cardiac care? Sure, he took basic cardiology in med school, but you're not going to get the best or most accurate care. I don't think we want to be at that point where we have non specialists caring for complex and care intensive patients. You can't just buy staff like you can order a few hundred ventilators, or beds, or bedside monitors, or empty floor space. Stop being so focused on what a politician "thinks" can be done

Oh ya, crazy of me to think that the premier of the province who get's daily updates fom AHS executives on what our capacity and limitations are would know what he was talking about. Just crazy. even on the last page another poster shared an AHS site that said there are 700 beds in the critical care network in the province. Sorry if we are all not intimately aware of the inner unpublished AHS workings. Maybe that's why people ask questions.

Maybe you should go see the proctologist, he could probably help get that giant stick out of your ass.

Calgary NE the first zone to hit 1,000 active cases. Didn't think they could do it but they sure did.

And done. They sure don't make it simple by having to enter information twice. I just want to work again, government money or not. Of course, government money would be nice, apart from paying union dues.

I am still confused by this program. I originally thought it reduced quarantine from 2 weeks to 1 week then when it rolled out its only 48 hour quarantine. Just seems so stupid as airports/planes are a huge possible spot to catch the virus.

I've seen 700, 200, 173, 272....seems the media is just chucking numbers out there for the actual amount of ICU beds. The only somewhat solid number seems to be that 70 were set aside just for Covid, which we are just about touching.

Edit: This AHS link says 700

https://www.albertahealthservices.ca...uick-facts.pdf

Yet in April they said ~1100 if necessary.

With a big *

The first step would be to convert existing cardiac and neurological ICUs into more generalized units. Zygun said that is relatively easy to do, but it would affect other types of patients. Heart and brain surgeries might be delayed because those patients often require ICU care after their operations.

So basically, if COVID filled those 272, other non-covid cases will not have top level care.

5 days ago, Calgary is at 90% and Edmonton was at 92% with 56 COVID ICU patients.

Today COVID ICU is now 81 which if I marth right and nobody died from ICU last 5 days, just breached 272.

Since this number always lags detection by a bit, that's why they are expanding capacity but I'm surprise they didn't do it sooner if they already had the game plan.

Liberal Government issued huawei 5G phones with pre-installed tracker apps? Most of the big clusters and traces would go to the NE anyway.

In 2020? Absolutely.

You get around it by reverse discriminating and call it equity.
