Dr. James Samuel Pope takes off his PPE as he exits the room of a patient who is suffering from the effects of Covid-19 in the ICU at Hartford Hospital in Hartford, Connecticut, on January 18, 2022.
"I feel like employers are trying to force people back into the workforce too soon," Cordero said of her hospital's alleged request, which a spokesperson said was inconsistent with hospital guidelines, including that health care workers should stay home if they have a fever. "People want to go into the hospital and know that they're going to be safe - not get infected by a virus they could get sick and die from.
"The last thing you want is to say, well, we're closing the hospital because we don't have enough doctors and nurses," said Carlos del Rio, president-elect of the Infectious Diseases Society of America. Thousands of schools shifted to virtual learning early this month, with some citing lack of staff and even turning to parents to fill teaching gaps.
"When you have that diminishing chance of transmitting something at five days and then you wear personal protective equipment like a good N95, that's tightly fitted to the face, you know, it is a step most hospitals feel is safe and effective," said Nancy Foster, the American Hospital Association's vice president of quality and patient safety policy.
"However, this may not always be possible in settings such as the emergency department in which you may not know which patients are covid-19 positive or in areas where you may be experiencing extreme staffing shortages," the state health department continued. Ali Fuehring, a 31-year-old nurse in Illinois, also opposes the CDC's return-to-work guidance even as she witnesses the consequences of short-staffing firsthand. During one especially harrowing shift in a full ER this month, she said, she started leaving notes explaining why she gave care off-schedule and had someone coach her over the phone on a new technique for a patient waiting for space in the ICU.
These are are experts making these decisions. Hmmmm.
