The country is shut down? Hundreds of millions of people at work today must have missed that tidbit of news.

I can all but guarantee if we followed as closely during flu season, this would be closer to flu season than the original covid waves.

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.
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.

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

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

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?


Hospitals are designed to be at capacity. That is how they make money.

People are dying from normal causes because they are scared to go to doctor until it is too late.

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.

Thank God our nurses feel a calling for what they do because what they have to put up with would have me quitting within a month.

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.?



If you read about someone having to be hospitalized for Covid and your reaction is to then search his posting history so you can share some kind of told-you-so/gotcha moment you probably need to reevaluate your life.

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.

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.

We are literally entering the stage where this thing is closer to the common cold than the original covid strand, yet some cannot come to grips with treating it as such.

Yes, it APPEARS numbers are increasing(while also tapering off). But I urge many of you to compare hospital data now, to a normal flu season prior to 2020. I doubt we have any more total hospital patients now as we ever do.

Unless I missed some more, there wasn't anything inappropriate for the tine board...

The decreased pneumonia incidence is great news. That's the biggest problem with this virus, IMO. My mother died of COVID pneumonia a year ago, which completely shocked us because she had NONE of the usual COVID-19 symptoms. Not even a mild cough. It snuck into her lungs somehow. (Caveat: she had some really major health problems to start with. She almost died of a UTI 3 months before that.)
