SEPARATE HOPEFULLY. THE FACTS
FROM THE FICTION AND THE FEAR
THAT ARE OUT THERE WE’RE JOINED
BY EMERGENCY ROOM. DOCTOR
FROLICS TIME.
DOCTOR THANK YOU FOR JOINING US
AS YOU DO EVERY THURSDAY WE
REALLY
APPRECIATE IT. I I I LIKE TO
START WHICH IS WHAT ARE YOU
SEEING. IN THE YARD THESE DAYS.
>> SO NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED HER STILL STANDS YOU PATIENTS WITH COVID THAT ARE
THAT ARE GETTING IN
THANKS LEE. WE SEEM TO BE
HAVING WAR PATIENTS RECOVER AND
ARE THEY ARE DISCHARGED SO
OVERALL AS THE NUMBER OF
HOSPITALIZED PATIENTS WITH
COVID-19. WELL RIGHT NOW IS
DOWN A LITTLE BIT THAN IT WAS
LAST WEEK OVERALL OUR VOLUMES
ARE OR ARE STILL SIMPLY DROPPED
TO ITS MENU STARTING TO PICK UP
A
FEW DAYS. THE LAST FEW DAYS AND
THAT’S THAT’S GOOD THAT
HOPEFULLY IS AN INDICATION THAT
MAKES PEOPLE UNDERSTAND IT IS
SAFE TO COME TO THE
EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT YOU NEED
TO COME TO THE EMERGENCY
DEPARTMENT IF YOU BELIEVE YOU
HAVE
AN EMERGENCY.
>> AND SPEAKING AND SPEAKING OF
THE HOSPITAL WE ARE HEARING
REPORTS THAT THINGS ARE KIND OF
RETURNING BACK TO NORMAL IN
SOME SENSE AT LEAST WHEN IT
COMES TO A SCHEDULING THESE
NON-EMERGENCY SURGERIES.
WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT
THAT.
>> YES
I’D SAY IT IS STARTING THE
PROCESS OF RETURNING TO NORMAL
IS IS STARTING CERTAINLY TO US.
CHANGED HIS EXECUTIVE ORDER.
AND PRIOR
TO THAT CHANGES IT REALLY
LIMITED ANY SURGERIES TO ONLY
THOSE
THAT WERE
MERCHANT AND NOW IT IS RELAXED
AT A DENT IN NOW NECESSARY BUT
NOT NECESSARILY EMERGENCE
SURGERIES ARE NOW ALLOWED TO
PROCEED.
>> WE’VE BEEN GET I KNOW
THAT THE.
>> STEVE SPRIESTER: MAYOR
TALKED ABOUT A LITTLE BIT
YESTERDAY ABOUT MASS AND THE
IMPORTANCE OF WEARING MASKS
AND THAT SOME PEOPLE STILL
AREN’T WEARING THEM AND WE
ACTUALLY GET QUESTIONS HERE
ABOUT PEOPLE SAYING IF I
DON’T HAVE COVID WHY DO I HAVE
TO WEAR A MASK, WELL IT’S NOT
SO MUCH ABOUT THE PERSON
WEARING THE MASK CORRECT.
>> YEAH SO I THINK THERE’S A
MISPERCEPTION OUT THERE COVID
IS JUST IS FLOATING AROUND IN
THE AIR AND AND THAT’S REALLY
NOT TRUE IT PROBABLY DOES
SLOPES FOR A VERY SHORT
DISTANCE FROM SOMEONE
THAT HAS AND THEN ATTACKED WITH
THAT BUT THEN IT QUICKLY CELLS
AND PROBABLY CELLS WITHIN 6
FEET OF THAT PERSON THAT IS
EMITTING THE VIRUS
AND SO THAT’S THE REASON
RATIONALE BEHIND THE 6 FOOT
RULE SO THAT THE MASK ARE
REALLY NOT NECESSARILY INTENDED
TO PREVENT ME WEARING
THE MASKS, IT DOESN’T HAVE THE
INFECTION
FROM GETTING. IT’S A VIRUS.
THE MASTER REALLY MORE DESIGN
WORK IF I HAVE IT AND DON’T
KNOW IT TO PREVENT IT FROM
SPREADING AROUND NOW THERE IS
SOME PROTECTION FOR ME BUT
DON’T HAVE IT. AND WITHIN 6
FEET OF SOMEONE
WHO DOES AND THEY’RE NOT
WEARING A MASK WELL THAT’S
BETTER THAN NOT WEARING MASKS
MOST OF US NOT WINNING BEST
SELLERS. IT DOES GO BOTH WAYS
LITTLE BIT BUT IT’S MOSTLY
TO PROTECT. EVERYONE ELSE IN
CHASE I MIGHT BE INFECTED WITH
THE VIRUS. >> YOU KNOW WE’VE HEARD A LOT ABOUT I THINK DOCTOR ANTHONY
FAUCI AT THE WHITE MENTIONED
THE CITY ABOUT THE SECOND OR
3RD POTENTIAL WAVE THAT COULD
BE COMING MONTHS
FROM NOW. HOW IS THE MEDICAL
COMMUNITY HERE BRACING ARE
PREPARING SHOULD SOMETHING LIKE
THAT COME TO PASS.
>> AND SO CERTAINLY YOU KNOW WE’RE ALL CONCERNED ABOUT THE SECOND WAVE AND WHEN THAT WILL
BE WE’RE VERY VERY HOPEFUL THAT
IT
WON’T BE. YOU KNOW ANYTIME IN
THE NEXT FEW MONTHS MY
HOPEFULLY WAIT TIL THE FALL AND
THAT WILL GIVE US TIME TO
REALLY
PERFECT THE STRATEGIES WE HAVE
IN PLACE ARE READY TO KEEP THE
HEALTH CARE. WORKFORCE HEALTHY
AS WELL AS ANY.
