Month: November 2020

I don’t trust the TMC’s approximations as they keep insisting that “more beds can always be built!” and describes things in terms of “phases” rather than capacity. I don’t feel like I am getting any actually relevant information using their interpretations of the numbers.

We can build all the beds we want but once we run out of staff, that’s it. That’s capacity. There won’t be a way to bring in any significant number of nursing volunteers from elsewhere because the majority of nurses are already needed right where they are.

I need to know how close we’re getting to max capacity, and how fast or slow this is happening to make decisions about when I should stop going inside grocery stores, when the risk is too high to keep visiting my parents, how much earlier I should try and refill my prescriptions, at what point should I consider my cleaning supplies (and toilet paper because people don’t know how to act) to be running “low”, and on and on.
