Levels of Care

President Trump has gone home from the hospital, which is positive. Of course he can get better care at the White House than you and I could at a hospital. 

Speaking of which, the other DrC and I had a scare recently. She started feeling “off” and discovered she had a low fever, later that day I had the same experience. So we called our health provider who recommended we go to the drive-in Covid-19 testing site at our valley’s hospital. You can read a description of what transpired there here at her blog. It came out negative, no corona virus.

We asked the person administering the test what would be done if we showed up positive. She replied, “Well, it’s a virus so there really isn’t much we can do for it.” 

This happened before Trump went to the hospital and we read all the good stuff they did for him. She did mention that really serious cases were getting medevac to Idaho Falls, likely by helicopter. Last I checked our whole county has had exactly 1 Covid fatality. My guess is local doctors haven’t treated very much of it.
