NP. So if the number of patients incease, you decrease the number of treatment centers? That's like closing fire houses because there are too many fires. Just have fewer fires? The article even mentions these are are not emergency room type or covid related visits. So, now, a skinned knee needs the emergency room.[b] Hire some more people.[/b][/quote]

If they don't have people applying for these healthcare positions -- and that is a frequent theme right now for obvious reasons -- then how are they supposed to hire them?

They can't just bake up a batch of healthcare providers, like gingerbread people in an oven.[/quote]

Offer better pay? Offer other accomodations. [/quote]

Seriously?  After a year and a half of pandemic, health care workers are exhausted and burned out.  The “accommodation” their employer can offer is fewer hours so they can get some rest, but that leads to staffing shortages like this.

What they really need is for people to stop acting like fecking idiots, get vaxxed, wear masks, and don’t take needless risks that keep driving up the COVID rates.[/quote]
