Doubt it. The healthcare org I work for is still happy for all IT staff to be remote and the companies that have come headhunting me recently have all offered full remote. This is for analytics work in hospital systems, they aren't exactly the most forward thinking orgs but even they are adopting WFH as a new normal for back office staff.
Truthfully, most roles advertised as data science in most corporations and Healthcare orgs are mostly just data wrangling for presentations or dashboard work.
You have plenty of skillset to get in the door at most places if you interview well. Your big problem will be weeding through the jobs to find one where you will really get to do data science working and not just write somewhat complex sql queries for people.
I worked for a company that did an SAP modernization project. The IBM consultants did a large part of converting all the custom ABAP stuff. The idea was to get back to as vanilla SAP as possible and included a ton of Business Objects and data warehouse work as well to convert old reporting etc.
They were constantly behind and decided to just push the load testing off the road map to hit the cio's arbitrary go live date. Within three days the data volume got large enough to grind the entire system to a halt and the company couldn't take, bill or fulfill orders. Of course the consultants were well out the door by that point. I spent months unwinding the stupid crap they did on the Business objects reporting side.
yeah, it just allows you to receive email from people who don't know their email address. I have my full name @gmail and constantly get folks who send stuff to first.last@gmail
>Adding dots doesn't change your address, so dots aren't why you got someone else's mail. Instead, the sender probably mistyped or forgot the correct address.
Somehow there's a Google service (I am guessing mobile) that allow you to register
firstl.ast@gmail or f.irstlast@gmail, and then they will both get each other's email. Fundamentally if you allow any account to be created with a dot and without a dot (two accounts), but filter out the dot in the email received, it will cause a problem. The dot is one to one with the account, but filtered out becomes one to many with the email. Nobody seems to notice this logical issue.
Yeah, my mom (grew up in the rural south US) has told me multiple times about how her mom would heat bricks fro the beds each evening. They were very poor and had no central heat so wood stove, bricks, and multiple kids to a bed (there were 13 of them) was the go to winter strategy.
Also Midwest (Ohio) and I don't recall seeing a shortage on anything other than maybe during one of the first snows, which always happens because people are dumb.
Yeah the current spike is well over 100 more cases per day for my hospitals than either of the previous spikes. It's pretty nuts. That's a ton of additional inpatients.
Just looking at ICU doesn't tell the whole picture. Not all covid patients - confirmed or awaiting a test - are place in ICU. ICU beds are a fraction of the total. ICU and vent patients are obviously more likely to die but all those other covid positive patients are still in our hospitals.
My hospital now has more positive patients, and patients overall than we ever have in the entire pandemic - or any other time for that matter.
We just don't have the staff to maintain these sorts of levels long term, regardless of the beds we have.
We aren't necessarily crumbling but it's definitely getting harder and harder.
Most hospitals have been having back office folks re deploy to do the drudgery for months now. Lots of stuff like stocking rooms, bed setup etc.
Ohio has now drafted national gaurd units to help in our hospitals to pick up this slack as well.
None of these folks can do direct patient care stuff like blood pressure etc but they can and do pick up nearly everything else.
You are correct, in my hospital system beds haven't been an issue since the early days of covid. Staff is the big issue. We are consistently over 100% nurse utilization. Having an open bed is useless if we can't put you in it and subsequently take care of you in a timely manner.
