Hollister is San Benito County. I wonder what criteria the state is using. Hmmm. Research.
it's not based on individual county. It's based on the region. Did you see how they common core math up the numbers on "ICU bed capacity"? It's all over the news, 1300+ open beds and 0% capacity
The ICU capacity measure "is standardized to reflect effective capacity in ICUs by looking at the percentage of COVID-19 positive patients in the ICU," the department wrote.
So that would mean each region has an ICU capacity that is "adjusted" to account for the intense demand for COVID-19 care.
CDPH says it calculates the adjusted ICU capacity based on the proportion of ICU patients who have COVID-19. "If a region is utilizing more than 30% of its ICU beds for COVID-19 positive patients, then its available ICU capacity is adjusted downward by 0.5% for each 1% over the 30% threshold," according to the CDPH office of public affairs.
Adjusted or unadjusted health professionals say that the capacity of the ICU is a very fluid number, taking into account the availability of ICU nurses, necessary equipment, and adequate space (not just beds). Stated. Ultimately, experts say you can increase capacity, but capacity measurement is an important tool for monitoring how much load your system is under.
A different way to brew up the numbers. Simply put as the common complaint amongst parents now days in helping their kids with math homework, a newer more complex way to do the same thing.What does "they common core math up the numbers" mean?
You can always add more beds, the scarce resources are the staff and travel ICU nurses which just about every hospital is clamoring for, I presume their math is just trying to account for the increasing lack of those human resources.
I've been riding motox almost every weekend for the last 25 years. Not about to stop now because there are some reports that the hospitals are full (not what I hear from the nurses I know).
And obviously you can't catch the Vid riding your dirt bike at an OHV park. I'm shocked that anyone on BARF would agree that shutting down Hollister is a good idea. Ride to live, live to ride.
I agree that shutting down Hollister is a good idea.
Folks do not always make the right decisions on their own. There are injuries, especially on a busy weekend, and that would compromise the hospital’s ability to serve the community.
Not sure I understand the correlation between closing off an OHV park and ICU beds.
How many people are evacuated from Hollister hills with injuries requiring intensive care unit?
I mean I rarely see people hit unconscious even in MX even less so on regular trail riding.
