Home testing and anti-viral drug might help keep ERs from becoming overwhelmed this winter
As December arrives, coronavirus-related hospitalizations are on the rise in San Diego County, mimicking trends at the state and national level.
Intensive care bed use, however, shows the true difference. Last year, according to state records, the region’s hospitals collectively had 84 intensive care beds holding COVID-19 patients compared to just 26 on Wednesday. Handling the basics at home, Clay said, can go a long way toward preserving hospital capacity for those who need it most.
“The median patient in the hospital with COVID in November of 2022 is only mildly to moderately ill, is at a medical and surgical level of care, and is expected to stay, you know, no more than a few days,” Clay said.
