simply put I'm the autopsy assistant; path lab/epidemiology dept.
we take samples, run tests and do diagnostic work on anyone died who needs a CoD.
Again? If it's assumed to be Covid that killed them why even bother to take anything other than minor sampling to determine that. If you can discreetly puncture lung tissue to biopsy after death and determine from that and mucus easily collected otherwise. I don't see why you'd be cracking open a body to look at the lungs. Whose the one directing you to do that?
A lot of hospital related deaths aren't autopsied at all.
Autopsy rates in America are around 8.5%. Unless there are concerns as a result of a healthy younger people who died or death under suspicious circumstances they usually aren't done. Many hospital deaths of older people especially with co-morbidity are just declared and picked up by a funeral home. Autopsy is not the standard in most cases. Unless you're making the claim that there's a mass government cover-up and this is en-mass killing young people. A 60+ year old dying from respiratory problems when there's a world wide pandemic would not even be recommended for autopsy, it'd probably just be considered the cause of death anyway. Autopsying them would be a waste of resources.
If it is en-mass killing perfectly healthy young people how exactly are they covering it up? You can't slap Little Johnny with heart failure as a COD and think his family is gonna be cool with that when they know he was perfectly healthy. You don't just get to keep bodies either. That's a good way to make people real angry if you prevent them from having access to their deceased loved ones.
You've also been saying repeatedly that the dead aren't being tested so?

I was only exposed because some fucking idiot decided to eat lunch or something upstairs where there's live, infected people and then come waltzing around the path lab without a mask on. morons. the living are morons.
That's not what you claimed?
well I'm officially quarantined.
no test yet. unless I get symptoms. we have someone on the floor we work on who popped up with fever and is up in the ICU now.
You're saying someone who works on the floor you work on decided to purposely eat lunch in a different area where patients known to have Corona are? then came down to your lab? but you were only quarantined after they showed up in the ICU with symptoms.
cuddle striker said:
so my exposure was actually an infected colleague, not a patient or a body.
A colleague, that works on your floor, who went out of the way to go to another floor to eat lunch around active corona patients who is now in ICU that came down to your lab without a mask on. Which makes you just as at risk as anyone else?
Hospital morgues are
never on the same floor as places where patients might wander because America likes to keep death out of sight and mind, so the messy nature of it is hidden from public eyes. So your colleague really went out of their way to go somewhere they'd be exposed.
You made this post
on Friday. No test, unless you get symptoms.
on Sunday you made this post. You've now had a test and tested negative and will be back to work. What changed? did you start showing symptoms? and if that's the case you're still sick with something that is giving you similar symptoms?
The Tuesday before, March 24th, you made this post
ground report
we have another tests shipment. drive through testing. again only with symptoms, no doctor's note needed this time though
stupidly, we are still not testing anyone asymptomatic.
local hospital system now accepting hand sewn cloth masks for personnel who are cleaning/etc in infected patient areas. bad idea.
my department slowed up a little; they've closed the state, now, no inessential business allowed.
agriculture is essential. pharmacy. us. my second job will probably be gone for months I think.
I tested negative. I'm home, deciding if I go back in or not. I may use my sick time until things there get desperate; after all, the dead can wait forever, until they start stacking up. and we are ahead for today. I might wish I'd taken the few days to rest, next week, if a wave crashes.
A doctor who has treated one of these cases can tell the difference between this and flu. I do think that if we weren't tacitly being pressured not to report, they'd be allowing diagnoses based on sign and symptoms, without testing, for those who are sick. There's a different quality to the cough, the mucus and the behavior of the patients. it's very different from flu.
I'm going to have tea and try to sleep.
edit to add: this is a small city. not Seattle.
we will get overwhelmed much faster in rural hospitals. some only have the one ICU. rural areas, as is standard, will be shipping their patients in to the cities for treatment.
Where you claim they are only testing those who are symptomatic, you also claim at this point you've been tested and it was negative. So you've now been tested twice? and both times you were negative? the only indication of a symptom you had was a sore throat, as per your post on the 22nd
edited to add; my throat has been sore all day. but I spent yesterday screaming all day at people and talking constantly, so.
So if you can get test based on a mild sore throat, they really aren't being that picky. Whereas all your other posts make it seem like it's a big problem and not enough people are getting tested because of lack of tests and requiring multiple symptoms. Yet they've tested you twice; once when you had a sore throat and once when you no apparent system but were possibly expose but not giving the very minimum of fives days.

when I get back tomorrow the protocol now is to do a slide of lung, mucus membrane, eye, and liver. nothing more. so it'll be assembly line from here on out.

edited to add: we were pressured, covertly, to under report. we are not doing that.
Again. If they're just going to lie about it anyway from your claims and are putting pressure on you to under-report why would they even bother to have this done? Especially when you're repeatedly made claims they are not testing the dead.
125.
news report: 45
that's my ground report from shift.
knowing epidemiology; stop defending trump. he fucked up. own it.
yes biden is a drooling moron.
That's a pretty big numbers difference, there, if you're trying to further state that you aren't under-reporting but the media is, so I ask again. If you aren't lying and they just not correctly reporting. What is going on the death certificates for these young healthy people you claim are dying if not Covid? because if there's some massive cover-up of cause of death that's a much bigger problem. Not to mention if it's all these healthy young people the families attached to them aren't going to be too happy with a death certificate that doesn't add up.
You also claim

So you're a small city with an, I assume, rural hospital by the 'we' that doesn't have much of an ICU but you have a department for autopsy and were doing autopsy in the time of a known pandemic when you are being pressured to under-report and know they were not testing the dead.

the state is on lockdown so we should hit our peak this week or next, then hopefully it slows down before we get to the cordwood-stack stage of this.
You've been coming in making claims that enough hasn't been done and it's going to get bad, really bad, now you're backpedaling and saying it'll peak because of what's been done. Your comments on test availability, testing of the dead, etc flip flop. You push the 'young healthy people are getting sick' and you're seeing too many otherwise young, healthy people on your table. You repeatedly come in making commentary about how bad it is, you talk about the ways you've been exposed, yet you've managed to get tested and been negative twice. You smoke and you make posts about how you're thinking well maybe you won't go back, you'll take your sick days, then you're 'diving right back into the fray'
All your information is just vague enough to be possible to not PL yourself but could also be gleaned from information released to the public.
