When the non believers accept the fact that this shit is for real and take the appropriate action to protect themselves & minimize the risks of spreading it to others.
Well they aren't. They have plenty of beds, what they don't have is staff because tyrants do tyrant things and people don't put up with it. Or your idiot of a president pays them to stay home
Beds aren’t ICU units. The level of care, isolation and access to support are radically different. You can’t put someone who is on a ventilator in a standard room. It takes specially trained help who are overwhelmed. You should know better Shane.
Incorrect. My sister is VP of St Tammany Hospital in Covington. Zero ICU capacity available at this time. They have them stacked in the halls. Same at our local hospital. My next door neighbor runs the dept locally. Beds in the halls. Correct Get your head out of the sand Shane. https://www.forbes.com/sites/joewal...-covid-hospitalizations-soar/?sh=4d0b70fe6bb5 From the article: Almost 78% of beds in U.S. hospital intensive care units are in use, and roughly one-third of adult ICU patients (or 22,345) have the coronavirus, according to data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Alabama ran out of ICU capacity Wednesday and dozens of patients were forced to wait for space n Georgia, 94% of statewide ICU beds are currently in use following a 74% jump in daily coronavirus cases over the last two weeks, and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported some Atlanta hospitals needed to divert ambulances due to capacity issues. ICU capacity sits at 93.2% in Florida and 93% in Mississippi, Texas reported ICU usage of 92.7%, and Dallas-area hospitals warned Thursday that if their region runs out of intensive care beds, they may need to consider vaccination status when prioritizing who to treat. Kentucky is using 90.7% of its ICU beds, and Gov. Andy Beshear said Wednesday every hospital bed in the state may be taken up in the next two weeks. ICU occupancy is above 80% in 10 other states: Louisiana (89.3%), Missouri (88.9%), Oklahoma (87.9%), Arkansas (87.4%), Nevada (85.4%), North Carolina (84.8%), South Carolina (83.8%), New Mexico (83.6%), Idaho (82.7%) and Maine (80.4%).
Unfortunately .... it's NOT! ... https://www.abc.net.au/news/health/...demics-end-and-how-will-this-one-end/12596954 There is just too much politics, too much opportunistic profiting, too much divide, too much dishonesty, etc etc ...for this to "end". It would be nice to think in terms of the 1918 pandemic .... which took 3 years to fizzle out, but that was before the "global economy", with easily accessible transportation to keep things mixed up. Let's say, we here in the States eliminate it!! ..... All it takes is one massive event, like a Chinese New Year, or some other event in another country to reintroduce the whole mess. But ... what about the vaccine?? The vaccine is working to decrease deaths, but it's not doing anything to eradicate the virus, or even decrease spread. Of late, it's not even preventing moderate symptoms. How long till it's not decreasing hospitalizations? While evasion to antibodies are a really rare event, viruses can develop other ways to circumvent the immune system. Delta is a perfectly good example of that. I'm not anti-vaxx ... I got the shot ... but I think the Vaccine Nazis are being a tad overoptimistic thinking the vaccine is the end all be all of this thing. Only ONE vaccine in human history has ever eradicated a virus (smallpox) and that was mostly due to the fact that there is no animal reservoir. To boot, we know there is some 24% of the US population, mostly in rural areas that have no intention of getting the vaccine. It just is what it is. Throw on top of that ... other places in the world don't have any vaccines ...and people from the first world fly to those places and keep the mess mixed up. And .. then ... "Winter is Coming"! ... and we know what that means. Suffice it to say .... this will be around until at least well into 2022.
Vax'ers are super spreaders now and because they didn't go the natural route and because the Vax doesnt kill it and allows it to live, it is now mutating. We would have been better off doing nothing than what we are doing now. People who would have died would have been (mostly) due to their life long choices of being unhealthy humans.
That's one of the good things about this country. You have the freedom to make personal decisions like this which you feel are best for you and those around you.
For now Unfortunately there are a LOT of people that feel that they know better and are doing everything they can to try and take that choice from me.
