Coronavirus (COVID-19) is too exciting for adults to discuss (CLOSED)

[Taosman]

3 new deaths at the local senior center. 14 residents dead,(November) 44 residents and 21 staff members infected. Christ!

We must get this message out to the Center for Disease Control and all labs!

Here's something we can all agree on.

1. The vaccine should be tested on politicians first.
2. If they survive, the vaccine is safe.
3. If they don't, the country is safe.

This is the most aggy thing I've ever seen.

A question. Would you participate in a phase 3 vaccine trial? I have that opportunity.

Fuck no!

If the hospitals get overwhelmed then many will die because they just can't get care. That is what we are looking at.

The hospitals are empty. I live one minute away from a big one. Amazingly enough, my clientele is almost exclusively septuagenarians, octagenarians, and even some nonagenarians, and none of them have died from covid.

What do people need to see to understand the apocalypse we are about to enter? Right now we are seeing about 1000 deaths a day. After Thanksgiving we will be seeing 3000 deaths a day. There will be no hospital beds or care available. You get sick badly enough you will die. Please, wear a mask and social distance.

300 people die EVERY DAY in NYC. That's 109,500 people dying every year in NYC, in case you can't do math. Should we declare New York a pandemic?

Are you interested in discussing the current situation in hospitals? Or just mockery?

What exactly is the permissible activity from healthcare workers to avoid inciting such anger for eight months and counting?

The Tik Tok videos were from MARCH.

The stats are that larger systems with lots of options are getting tighter but can still move pieces around for now. Rural systems are the ones getting tighter, and Ohio isn't nearly as bad so far as other states in that regard.

In Ohio:
Staffing is a major issue.
Capacity is a looming/potential one.
Funding is the elephant in the room.
Deaths are not a major one yet (relatively speaking) but the above can change that.

From your first article. Math is hard.

And normal business is heading into the flu season as well, which can present it's own uptick/surge.

Thankfully, the flu has been largely eradicated in 2020.

To put things in perspective in Southwest Ohio, UC Health has gone down to 50% elective inpatient surgeries, and Cincinnati Children's is taking trauma cases up to age 30 to relieve UC Health's strain. A couple area hospitals are not completely full for respirators; all the others have been and are.

Do y'all realize that removing a mestastic tumor counts as "elective surgery"?

Do y'all realize that removing a mestastic tumor counts as "elective surgery"?

Yes lv, not having room for non emergency surgery is very bad. Using mestastic in the sentence makes it sound fancy and instructive when in reality that was part of Johnny's point. Elective shutdowns are especially dangerous because patients start avoiding the hospital for life threatening emergencies too, an inconvenient elephant in the room for other beloved stat conspiracies.

Thankfully your proximity to one hospital permits you to declare all hospitals as empty so that won't be a problem.

Which is a relief, because then I can ignore all of the numbers showed that Ohio went from:

(Previous record hosp per day was <166 in July)
Oct 20 - 1221 hosp, ??? Icu, 216 hosp per day
Nov 30 - 5060 hosp, 1181 icu, 357 hosp per day

Otherwise I might start to notice that the medium cases are hitting most age brackets, and that memes about the extremes are ignoring the actual threat.

I think you should thank your lucky stars that's the most aggy thing you've seen. There's a lot of there there.

These fucking idiots...

Well, he can't do simple math. His hiring of Kyle Lamb makes a little more sense, I guess.



The math: Originally 28k total layoffs - 18k FL layoffs = 10k layoffs in California. Updated 32k total layoffs - 18k FL layoffs = 14k CA layoffs. Math is hard.
