Ambulances stacking up at the hospitals again. Not as bad as a couple of weeks ago when it was a 3 hour wait to unload patients... now a bit more than an hour. The hospital told the retirement place my relatives live in to "only call if it's life threatening" #health

Why do I mention this? There's almost no mention in the press that respiratory and other illnesses are surging. My son (a paramedic) told me "this is the worst I've seen it since the beginning of the pandemic". It's a mix of "crud" -- RSV, influenza, norovirus, COVID-19, and "everything else". Anyway, if you're able to mask, it's smart (IMHO), maybe you can dodge some of what's floating around. #health

(also, just heard them attempting to wrangle an ambulance, they were short ambulances here in county... "if it's really life critical, we'll free someone up and send an ambulance" was what I heard over the radio scanner. 😬 )
