the chief administrate officer of mercy hospital, springfield. thank you for being with us. i have been following your twitter updates, the updates you have been giving on the hospital and the patients there. what does your covid unit look like now? thank you for having me. i do appreciate it. today as of right now we have 122 covid positive patients in the hospital, about 20 of those are currently in the emergency room waiting for placement in beds upstairs. our plan allowed us to open multiple units based on acuity. we have two units serving icu level patients, one of those is full with 28 of those patients on covid, 24 are ventilated and then we have several stepdown units and we have capacity on the medical unit as well we can move patients on and off. it takes a lot of work to move those patients around and make adjustments to make sure we have capacity to care for the patients. 122. if i am following this correctly, and you can correct me if i m wrong, that s a new record for
