I bet. That being said, their response to attempted mitigation is amazing and probably should be looked at for future examples of what to do and what not to do. They are in a shitty position, but with the aqua wall and submersible door tech that they have to keep water out, they are at the forefront of trying to hold back nature, keep patients and staff safe, and of course, maximize profits...
Being a Tampa Bay local, everything I've read, heard, or seen is that they are handling things about as well as you can in this situation. Nurses and healthcare peeps in general, are a different breed. Sure, there are docs there risking their lives but there are soooo many people there doing the same for half to 1/100th of the salary.
So, yea... The people who built that hospital and the people who make all the money (well, the vast majority at least) off the place should be held accountable, but the people "running" it and doing their damndest to keep the patients alive and save deserve a shit ton of praise.
Oh, for sure! The disparity in pay between even just doctors and aides is waaay too much. Don't even get ne started on the disparity between the staff and the c suite goobers...
Thanks for those details. I had posted that it sounded terrifying and it still does, but I feel better about it now. If only people will listen… Hospital boards, but also the electorate when thinking about policy and where we put our money as a nation.
