Cheshire Medical: About Fucking Time!

March 18

I wondering if this guy walked up stairs to the doctor's office and back. He might have had a off site doctor and I sure the hospital did the testing. 

So you have that Keene state employee and now this Granite group person confirmed positive for coronavirus. This virus has been circulating in Keene unseen for weeks. This guy must have tested in the hospital.      

An employee of The Granite Group's Keene branch has tested positive for the novel coronavirus disease COVID-19, according to a news release Thursday from the Concord-based wholesaler of plumbing, heating and other supplies.

The employee was feeling ill last week, was sent home and hasn't been at work since March 11. The employee will stay in self-isolation until cleared by medical professionals, the company said.

*Well, life in Keene has been upended until next year. I know from personnel experience in recent weeks these school administrators are under unbelievable pressure and stress with the job of keeping out children safe and feeding their school children. These people are truly the heroes of these days. Everything is changed in Keene today.   

Keene State under 'extended curtailment' as faculty member tests positive for COVID-19

Keene State College students will no longer return to campus next month, after a faculty member tested positive for the novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19, President Melinda Treadwell announced in a video address sent to faculty, staff and students Tuesday night. The message will also be sent to parents, according to college spokeswoman Kelly Ricaurte.

Prior to learning of the test results, the college alerted 66 people who could have potentially had contact with her as a precaution, in accordance with recommendations from the N.H. Department of Health and Human Services, Treadwell said.

"The increasing number of cases and new evidence of community-based transmission raises concern that the COVID-19 outbreak is intensifying in New Hampshire," said State Epidemiologist Dr. Benjamin Chan in the release. " ... We know that this novel coronavirus can be spread very easily through close contact, and the virus can be spread even when people are having very mild early symptoms of illness."

***This hospital and all hospitals are particularly dangerous during this times. Their big money and the best lawyers have paid off or have disproportion influence with the politicians. They made laws where outsiders can't see what is going on a the hospital, and mostly so they won't get sued. 

Did you assholes put a end to all elective procedures and surgeries? 

Are you measuring the temperature of everyone entering the hospital? One infected person walking around your facility would severely degrade the capabilities of your hospital? 
   

If these guys were patriotic and cared for the community...they would publicly disclose their top ten weak links. You would public advertise your "top ten" weak links allowing the state system and politicians to see you vulnerabilities. Tell them this is what we need. Please help us get through this? 

Like protective clothing, ventilators, and sufficient nurses, doctors, clinical people and quality lab people. I won't even talk about coronavirus test. 

What has been the capacity of the hospital for last month...what percentage of beds on average have been filled? What is your surge capacity?

Outsiders need to know about you vulnerabilities so we can all help you!

Cheshire Medical Center is barring all visitors from its Keene campus to help curb the spread of the novel coronavirus disease COVID-19.


The restrictions include patient rooms, general waiting areas, emergency departments, clinics and hospital cafe, Matthew Barone, spokesman for the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health affiliate, said in an email Tuesday morning.


Those with doctor's appointments are still able to keep appointments at this time, but only the patients themselves will be allowed into the facility.
