How many masks are needed?
Number of beds x number of nurses = 27,991 x 3.25 = 91,000 nurses
+ ER Physicians in Illinois ~ 1,000?
+ Police ~ 41,000 (Source: wikipedia)
How often should masks be replaced? At least once a day but now being used for up to a week at a time.
Conclusion: Illinois needs 400,000 to 3.0 million masks per month.
The federal government recently sent around 300,000 masks.
Projected COVID-19 cases in two weeks based on recent rate of increase
04/12p 27,500
04/19p 50,000
Will hospital/ICU/Vent capacity be exceeded?
Date Total beds COVID-19 Open beds ICU beds COVID-19 Vents COVID-19
04/03 27,991 935 11,502 2,683 806 2,543 666
04/12p 30,500 2,900 4,000? 3,000 2,000 3,150 2,065
04/19p 30,500 5,300 1,500? 3,100 3,800 3,300? 3,750
The peak is likely to come in about three weeks, so, conservatively, it looks like Illinois will be short 1,000 to 3,000 ICU beds and 1,000 to 3,000 ventilators by then.
Trump says there is ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ after grim warnings of coronavirus death toll rising
Trump is finally correct, there is “light at the end of the tunnel”
It’s also known as the 2020 Presidential election!
ByeDon…
Sunshine blogger, when are you posting the next installment of the “If I could live in a world without taxes” series? Stay tuned…tic, tock, tic, tock, tic, tock, hug a blogger, tic, tock, tic, tock, meeeeeeoooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww…
Does anybody know any local companies who are producing ppe or ventilators?
dent blah brings up Trump.
Trump will have an easy win if he gets to face Biden, the sleepy creepy dementia dufus who was the sidekick to the worst ever president of the U.S. Perhaps Biden will step aside, but then again, the Democrat Party has nobody else except the lunatic waving his arms about, crazy Bernie. Besides being wrong so many times on matters such as foreign affairs, Biden has been an obnoxious person who violates women’s spaces and insults citizens who ask him questions. At least Bernie is respectful of women.
Biden has a long record of planting unwanted kisses on women’s faces. He went way over the top one time by standing behind a woman in Nevada and smelling her hair. She was a Democrat candidate for some office there. After that incident, the woman told the media she was mortified in that on that one day, for whatever reason, she had not washed her hair that day.
In recent times, Biden has insulted citizens by challenging them to do push-ups, telling one worker he is full of s–t and a horse’s a**. Back in February, he greatly insulted a 21-year old woman college student saying to her face that she was a “Dog Faced Pony Soldier”.
You have to wonder how a jerk, dufus, like Biden was elected a number of times in Delaware. What is in the water in that state? Are people there drinking some kind of Democrat “kool-aid” that makes them dumb.
If Democrat Convention picks Biden, then slogan can be MASA, Make America Stupid Again – as in the 8 years of Obama/Biden.
There would be light at the end of the tunnel but JB (Jumbo Boy) Pritzker is standing at the exit blocking the sun.
You know how many masks we could have purchased with the tax money he saved from taking his toilets out of his mansion?
Probably could have had a bunch of vents too?
Time to flush this turd.
