Welcome to for profit healthcare where the more desperate for care people are the greater the profits.

So they staff to be at full capacity at all times (leaving them woefully understaffed during flu season) and artificially restrict the education pipeline of nurses and doctors.

Are there a lot of medical personnel who want a seasonal job?
I'm not sure how a hospital would go about having a larger staff during flu season.

You have a larger staff year round and don't get to buy as many yachts, or do as much hookers and blow.

Unfortunately that would be devastating for political contributions, so we don't have a political party in this country willing to seriously push for that.
 
The cough is brutal. Up half the night. Pills doctor gave me don't seem to help. Would love some good old fashioned codeine. Nasty but effective.

Last night got out of bed, steeped ginger root in boiling water, added a slug of honey and squeeze of lemon. Breathed the steam until it was cool enough to sip. Lucia and I fell asleep on the couch.

This is why she's the best cat in the world. Came to bed with me as usual but when I had to get up she did too and stayed with me until we both slept.

Just got it myself yesterday. I can attest to the cough. My wife is picking up a prescription for the cough. Drinking a lot of apple cider with honey.

I've have been isolating in my room since last night. I have to stay in here for five days accept to use the bathroom. Luckily, my wife is bringing me meals and other things I need and leaving them at the door.

I hope you feel better.

Might try some of that ginger root. That's good for this chest crap?
 
Annie and I were both double vaxxed and double boosted but she tested positive about 3 months ago and it kept her away from work for a few days with a fever and milder symptoms compared to the ones we had read and heard about. Though I was never tested I'm pretty sure I had it too but the only symptoms I had was a sore throat and a mild fever for one day, but the next day, no sore throat and no fever.

Our 3 felines, DD, Chase, and Boots simply acted like they didn't care, one way or another...imagine that. :bgrin:
 
Feel better morning and steadily worse all day. Going to message doctor. Pills that are supposed to reduce cough didn't work, just gave me nausea. Hopefully can get another prescription that helps. Been up two nights with cough.
 
It's getting progressively worse for me every day. My lungs feel heavy. Hopefully, this thing reaches its apex soon and shits me out the other side because no fucking thank you.
 
I hope you both overcome it soon. Mine seems to be just a severe cold, stuffed up, cough, no body aches though. My wife has it worse but has turned the corner.
