Corona Virus update 12/5

 Our numbers are “mixed”, I guess, this week.

Hospitalizations across CT are up to 1,150. However, that is a slight drop from earlier this week.

Positive test rates yesterday were 5.5%, not good, but better than the 7.1% and 6.5% of the previous 2 days. 

Close monitoring of the numbers will be important.

After several discussions with AFT CT local leaders about the strain the pandemic is taking on our healthcare workers, we’ve decided to have a zoom social hour for healthcare local presidents on Wednesday night. 

Our Local Leaders often hold down a full time job as Healthcare Professionals AND lead their unions in addition to that. It is a workload and pressure that perhaps only they can appreciate.

It’s been a long time since we could be together and just vent about our common frustrations and issues that we share as healthcare leaders. We won’t solve the worlds problems, but at least we can be together in fellowship with others who understand. 

I also want to share an event being put on by our Rockville locals. I hope you can support them.
