Cutting a woman's hair is a totally different story, proceed with caution ?My wife is insisting I cut her hair at some point this week. I feel like I'm being setup to fail

All true....be VERY careful. I cut my daughters hair when she was 2 while my wife was away.....12 years later it's STILL an issue. Walk away slowly.......

I've been cutting my wife and daughter's hair, no problem. I'm forbidden from cutting my son's hair after a bowl cut incident...
I thought, for radiology, we made our money on the ER films and that we lost/didn't make any money on the inpatient (routine) films. But again, I don't know the financial state here
N95's don't exist here. They "banned" them a few years back in our hospital and went to a powered portable air respirator mask thingy instead. BUT now the N95's are allowed to be used again, but of course we don't have them & with a shortage....good luck getting/finding one.
There are no protective gowns either. If you were lucky enough to find or get one, you were told you had to keep reusing it. And if any more show up, they're allotting them.
Typically you would use it one time & throw it away. Instead, we're forced to be using these over and over after interaction with MULTIPLE patients
All protocol is out the window
Like I said earlier, it really depends on your patient population. If you're ER sees a lot of Medicare/Medicaid patients or has a high percentage of uncompensated care, the ER is a massive money loser. It's all about demographics, location and percentage of patients with insurance coming through your door. Most ER's lose money.
Do whatever you need to do to keep yourself safe. If you PM me your address, I can send you some cotton masks. If you line them with sterile wrap, you're looking at N99 levels of filtration. Also, see if your hospital linen dept still has some of the old cloth surgical gowns. The fronts are a water resistant blend and would help and can be laundered.

I was just looking at some of the numbers. I hope we can slow this thing down. Last week Tuesday there were 398k total confirmed in the world. Right now we're at 810k. If it stays at this rate we'll be at 3.2 million in 2 weeks, and about 100k deaths.
If you look at just the US our rates are more than triple from last week. We had 55k total confirmed last wednesday with about 800 deaths. Now we're at 165k confirmed and 3.1k deaths. Almost half of those 3.2 million are going be americans in 2 weeks. It's possible that by Easter we'll have about 1.5 mill total sick people and about 65k deaths. Our sick rate here has already tripled for 2 weeks straight. We had 17k confirmed on the 17th, 55k a week later, and 165k a week after that.
I'm interested in how quickly this thing is spreading so I've been recording the numbers once a day.

Interesting that first one is vastly different for my area than the others I've seen. There is one on page 12 of this thread at the top. Also one from the chit chat thread I've been looking at.

This whole thing is fascinating to me (as i am an economist), however terribly worrisome. I have been trying to teach myself to think outside the box in terms of natural disasters and investment opportunities. When all this happened i didn't even thing about the affect it would have on the companies making PPE and now the jump in internet home videos (workouts, tiktok, zoom...). Now I'm trying to think ahead as to how the economy will be in detail in terms of price of goods and services and what will rise in prices.

@csumt , That map, Re: HERE is more updated than Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) I never compared the two. That being said, even "HERE" is not reflective of all the cases in my County of Florida as of today. It is from last Friday as far as I can tell.

Surprised that after that, a woman would let you cut her hair!
