Message Subject DFW Corona Update - Gov. Greg Abbott activates Texas National Guard in response to COVID-19 coronavirus
Poster Handle Anonymous Coward
Post Content
I have a friend who is a nurse at the above hospitals. Was just updated by her this morning.

1. Baylor Dallas is running out of beds rapidly at the moment.
2. Both locations are out of masks and some other PPE and staff are now forced to share some reusable masks when with patients. (Not ideal at all...)
3. Hard decisions are being made at this moment as to which patients are getting a ventilator and who is left to fend for themselves.
4. They are not testing people that don't meet a very rigid definition of the illness.
5. My friend says a lot of staff have been exposed to active cases without proper precautions or protections in place. She is no longer going back home for the time being because she doesn't want to harm her family.

Curious if anyone else has any additional information from these or other area hospitals or can corroborate this info.

I trust her to a point but don't know her terribly well. If she is telling the truth, it means the scope of this thing in DFW is being massively downplayed and covered up. Which just falls in line with everywhere else I guess.

I'm local in Dallas OP. This scenario certainly does not fit what the local news is reporting. Hope to hear more info to validate/debunk this.

That is one reason why I posted it here. I have had much the same experience with the local news so far so it was kindof surprising to hear we were getting that bad here. Was hoping someone on here might actually be a nurse or Dr. at one of them so they could chime in and give us an answer either way.
