1/6 Hospitalizations - Part 2
— therealarod1984 (@therealarod1984) January 6, 2022
* ICU still many days away from catching 2020 Winter wave
* ICU portion of the bed census 1711
* Vent usage has a really long ways to go to catch 2020 & isnt making up much ground
* The ratio of cases to severe hospitalization still crazy low

Yes, but what happened between Perfect Example and Fast Forward? The hospitals fired nurses for not getting vaccines...that's why they didn't have the staffs and capacity they did earlier.htxag09 said:
Perfect example: early in the pandemic the government and media were flipping **** about overrun hospitals. The Texas medical center came out and publicly had to say pump the breaks, we're ok. Yes we're at traditional capacity but we have surge capacity for these vary cases and are fine.
...
Fast forward: medical center says hospitalizations are worrisome and public needs to do what they can to help keep the peak down. We don't have the staff to keep at this, etc.

So you're right...but there's a YUGE caveat in there.

Hospitals being at capacity on and off for 2+ years and having surges in which they are denying transfers and patients are dying from normally preventable causes because of capacity is a problem.
Care to refute?
Fire nurses. Bring on travel nurses who make 3x but don't know where anything is or how the coding works. Make the nurses who stayed work their job plus teach / watchover travel nurses making 3x.T Durden said:XpressAg09 said:Yes, but what happened between Perfect Example and Fast Forward?

Fire nurses and other staff. Then pay higher rates for traveling nurses, burn them out and viola...reduced capacity.

I checked texags for the 1st time today. I see 100 new posts in the Tine coronavirus thread so I'm thinking hell yeah its going down. I read through and theres not a single HEB mask update.
You all should be ashamed.

lol, I completely agree with you that this is minor in the vast majority of people.
But the only reason people are going to the hospital is because they are fed bs? C'mon, do you really believe this? Do you also believe that because you know 40 people and none needed care that means it translates to everyone in the country? I agree that a lot of people in the hospital don't need to be there. I also agree that a lot of people in the hospital for COVID are really just in the hospital and happen to have COVID.
There's a poster on the COVID board who is in the hospital and I can guarantee you it's not because he was fed bs as his posting history includes things like:
- any recommendations on how to get a religious exemption for work requiring the vaccine
- why in the world would anyone get a vaccine for a virus with less than 1% chance of hospitalization?
- do you dumb asses that got the vaccine regret it with your side effects or still holding onto the "it's for the greater good" thought.?
Hey look this says severity is 83% less with omicron. I had it at 89% a few weeks ago. It’s like I do this for a living or something. Hmmm. https://t.co/BCngAvnBjg

I know 3 people in the hospital with it currently. 2 of the 3 are vaxxed.
If you took the vax out of the equations they all share many other similarities.
Are you serious? Today?CDUB98 said:
But, of course, the WHO came out today and told us not to believe our own eyes and that Omicron is not milder. Must keep vigilance on the fear pr0n.
Fantastic summary from a hospital in Tshwane, South Africa.

This thread keeps showing up on my watchlist because STAFF is deleting posts. I wonder what they keep deleting.
