Capacity Level has been elevated since independence from the virus was declared three summers ago—as fewer & fewer professionals have been available to staff hospital beds.

Critical Staffing Level, already at 2021 levels, has been further elevated for near a year—with some one in nine reporting hospitals at critical shortage.

Pediatric staffing never recovered to pre-omicron levels. Rather, all but one in five pediatric beds reported May of 2022: now missing.

PICU Capacity Level (not shown): 70%.

Weekly average ~110 PICU beds were covid patients.

We're failing our kids. The emergency is over.

Some 324 (-8) counties reporting pediatric care near or over capacity (≥ 90%).

Of 279 (-1) counties reporting any PICU capacity, over one in four are near or over full.

So many places where there ain't enough staff for sick or injured kids to receive required care.

"Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH)…continues to struggle daily with unprecedented overcrowding – particularly in its Emergency Department (ED)."

Statistics, as always, are structural.

Data reported to HHS don't include ED patients awaiting inpatient beds. Moreover, weekly data can easily obscure daily overcrowding.

If MGH can be in 16-month unprecedented crisis w/out ever topping 100% reported capacity, just imagine degree of crisis in hospitals ≥100%.

Show thread"You do you" is Eu-gen-ics.Mar 22, 2024

Some 49 (+6) counties are reporting ≥ 100% capacity per HHS data.

Reporting ≥ 90%: 230 (-10)—over one in ten of those w/ any capacity.

This includes surge & overflow beds—near full can mean E/Rs with hours-long even day-long wait times.

https://disabled.social/@beadsland/112096016017762251

For counties w/ ICUs—near one in five are full or near full.

To give a sense of how badly our #hospitals are doing: A friend went to emergency room recently. She had to be treated in her street clothes, because they were out of hospital gowns. But, you know, cases are down, so everything fine, right? #CovidIsNotOver

Occupied beds in excess of staffed beds indicates that patients are not receiving adequate care.

For comparison, Suffolk County, MA is at 93% adult hospital capacity, 90% adult ICU.

Mass. General—at 96% capacity/97% ICU—largest of some dozen Suffolk hospitals already 17 months into "unprecedented capacity crisis".

Thirteenth week of Pirola BA.2.86 grankid JN.1 wave. Per GISAID, entering March, approaching two thirds of this likely attributable to variants—including upstart JN.1.4.

JN.1.4 still near ⅕ of JN sequences in GISAID.

Lineages still evident in GISAID plurality Eris fam, although upstart XBB.1.41.1 grankid JC.5.1 ekes out singletons across multiple states.

Early March, JN.1 family has diversified sufficiently for designation of four new pango aliases: JN.1.11.1 / KP, JN.1.4.3 / KQ, JN.1.1.5 / KR & JN.1.13.1 / KS; and five recombinants: XDD, XDK, XDN, XDP, and XDR.

After being nearly squeezed out by JN.1, other lineages are starting to reemerge from GISAID dataset, including Eris, JC.1, Kraken, Arcturus & Acrux.

Great Lakes region fallen off map.

JN.1.13 already estimated near one in six share in NY/NJ, near one in ten in Mid-Atlantic, displaced JN.1.18 for 2nd position in Southeast.

JN.1.18 & JN.1.13 had together carved out little more than 2% of estimates in Southwest—where undifferentiated JN.1 still near 95% share.

Folk are dying at record numbers, of comorbidities of severe acute covid that are also implicated as post-acute sequelae of covid infection. ↺

Of course, ongoing hospital staffing attrition also contributes to elevated death tolls. Said attrition continues. ↺

Given evidence linking covid infection to sudden onset liver damage, recent increased liver disease mortality's hardly surprising.

Final mortality data for 2020—released in Sept—reveals spike in accidental deaths driven by poisonings & exposure to noxious substances.

Per WHO, every 12 minutes four people die of acute covid. Three of those deaths are in U.S.

As of Apr 2023, for every three covid deaths, U.S. saw another excess death not attributed to covid.

Feb 2024 WHO & Economist estimates reflect same trend globally.

[Global chart stalled. WHO dash remains at Mar 3.]

@beadsland Yes, my child and all disabled children require access to picu care for survival. Due to the ongoing pandemic, picu access has severely lessened. Abled parents refusal to mask has caused my child to be turned away twice for life saving medical care due to overcrowding and hospitals being on triage. Disabled children are viewed as disposable by the medical industrial complex and abled society. Abled families cannot be bothered with missing out on their fucking luxury vacations, and use ER’s to support their children’s care. And the system will always choose abled children’s lives, and support eugenics of disabled children. I’ve witnessed it again and again. Fuck capitalist interests, and abled standards of “normalcy”. Dems and liberals do not give a shit about disabled solidarity and disabled lives. #COVID19 #AbledSupremacy #medicalsupremacy #MedicalIndustrialComplex #eugenics #MaskUp #anticapitalism
