As of Thursday night, 5,352 COVID-19 patients are currently hospitalized in Illinois. Patients included 990 on the ICU bed and 488 on the ventilator.
The suburban hospital system in Naperville has also seen an increase in the second COVID-19.
“It’s just insane, you know. We’re trying to find staff. We’re trying to get people from other units to help us,” said Carly S. Sac Co, a nurse at Edward Hospital.
“Mentally, it’s just as boring as before, if not more,” said Haley Dahlstrom, a nurse at Edward H. Hospital.
Hospitals know which treatments work best around this. Nurses point to convulsant plasma as the main treatment for remedial, blood thinners and covid-19 viruses.
“We’ve made a huge leap forward to help these people recover very quickly,” said Sac.
The Edward and Edward-Elmhurst hospitals currently have about 200 Covid-19 patients and are counting. Patients are younger than spring, and there are higher expectations.
“30s, 40s, 50s, 60s. I mean you’re not watching, and it’s not because they have co-disorder. I always say this is a weird Russian roulette game, There’s no such thing as a poem or a reason “a person will get sicker than another,” Sacco said.
Joseph Dante, CEO of Edward Hospital, said the increase in cases could lead to delays in alternative surgery.
“We’re predicting late-winter growth. I’m not sure we predicted this would be this fast, this fast,” Dante said.
Edward Hospital will hire more nurses and medical personnel as well as expand COVID-19 units as the statewide positivity rate increases.
The nurses said the workload is not only tedious, but mentally watering.
“Many days you will just sit in your car and cry,” Sacco said.
