COVID-19 WEEKLY UPDATE with Emphasis on Vermont

🚨👉 Vermont reports record-high 940 new Covid cases, plus 3 more deaths

👍 Free at-home rapid Covid tests available at 8 locations Tuesday and Wednesday

😟👉 Delayed surgeries during Covid-19 surge leave patients in limbo, sometimes with severe pain
“When you have a doctor in front of you saying, ‘Yeah, you have cancer,’ the big C-word, whether it’s small, big or different, you get a little bit wigged out,” Striebe said. “Then you kind of just keep going along. But I just — I want it done.”
Striebe is just one of hundreds of Vermonters whose surgery has been delayed in recent weeks as hospitals struggle to manage high numbers of patients — both sick with Covid-19 and not. ... ... Last week, Dartmouth-Hitchcock, which serves many Vermonters in the southern part of the state, posted on Facebook: “Due to the high number of COVID-19 patients in our hospital, we are experiencing a shortage in the staffing and beds needed to provide you with the most appropriate care. For these reasons, your surgery or procedure may be delayed 🥵. Thank you for your patience 🤦‍♂️ during these challenging times.” Dartmouth-Hitchcock did not respond to emails with questions about delayed 😓 surgeries. On Nov. 30, the University of Vermont Medical Center announced it was postponing elective procedures through the end of the year to preserve the capacity amid surging Covid-19 cases. That decision delayed care for an estimated 200 to 250 😬 patients , said hospital spokesperson Annie Mackin.
