The ER overflow tent was never used at my hospital. My unit was a progressive care unit. 1 step down from the ICU. One wing of my unit became the covid unit, the other wing was for our reg patients. Strokes, heart patients mostly. Since all ER patients were tested if they had the sniffles, a cough or came from a nursing home they'd come to my unit unless they couldn't breathe (then the ICU). It was like musical beds. If they tested negative the next day then they got moved to the other wing and their room was disinfected. They swabbed these patients everyday. If the patient tested positive again or they developed a fever (which may have been a reaction to an antibiotic) then they got moved back to the covid side. We wasted sooooo much time and energy playing this silly game.
