As of early February, roughly half of Connecticut hospitals had more than a month’s supply of everything from N95 masks, to gloves, and other supplies.
Karl Minges, chair of health administration and policy at the University of New Haven, said he believes this data will help both health care professionals and the public.
“I think the key here is the visualizations and the way it’s communicated,” Minges said.
The state profile reports from the feds also allow you to look a month back to see how we’re doing in metrics including COVID-19 test positivity rates, and deaths.
Stretched thin, nurses call for Newsom to end stringent nurse-to-patient ratios
KTVU s Jesse Gary reports.
SAN JOSE, Calif. - Recently scores of nurses rallied outside hospitals in multiple cities around the state. These nurses have been running like a marathon, only to ask them to sprint at the end is unreasonable, said Allan Kamara, the president of the Santa Clara County Registered Nurses Professional Association.
In a tweet on Tuesday, the National Nurses United urged its followers to write the state’s health department. The union and others want to end Gov. Gavin Newsom’s waivers that allow hospitals to increase nurse-to-patient ratios in intensive care units.
San Jose Spartans travel plans for Arizona Bowl may violate county s COVID mandate
KTVU s Jesse Gary reports.
SAN JOSE, Calif. (KTVU) - Some of the glow from San Jose State’s conference championship win Saturday faded with the winter solstice. This has been an amazing journey with our team. And so many people have reached out, sent messages, said Spartan head coach Brent Brennan on Friday.
The most recent message sent to the Spartans quarantine or face the consequences. As the team prepare for the Nevada Bowl on Dec. 31 in Tucson, the Santa Clara County Health Department said it has launched an investigation of the team for violating the county’s quarantine mandate.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s trip to a posh restaurant in November to celebrate a friend’s birthday prompted swift backlash – and even Newsom himself said he could have modeled better behavior.
His ill-conceived dinner came after pleas to locals to avoid social gatherings to stop the spread of COVID-19 over the holidays. It was just one instance of politicians who endorsed coronavirus-related restrictions engaging in behavior they told their constituents to avoid.
Politicians are human messengers, experts told USA TODAY. They can – and sometimes do – fail to model the proper behavior to slow the spread of the coronavirus. That doesn’t mean people should give up on mitigation measures recommended by public health officials such as wearing masks, social distancing and washing their hands.
