    Medical Board Says, "Stop Issuing Bogus Mask Exemptions to Students"

    SmilingBluEyes replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

    SmilingBluEyes replied to CrunchRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    One of the hospitals here has set up a temporary unit in the lobby. Yep, the lobby. They are filled up with COVID patients and so they have to make room for others. The ED is swimming with them...
