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

[BuckBackHome]

Heard something last week that those admitted to a hospital for Covid should expect a bill of $25,000. And it could get as high as in the $300k range. I would be interested to see some more reports on the bills for those admitted. 90% of admitted Covid patients are not vaccinated here in Akron.

I've never seen hospitals and local urgent care actually plead with people via social media posts to take precautions. Yes, they're asking for people to get vaccinated. But they're also on there reminding people to be sensible about washing hands, using masks in high foot traffic areas, social distancing and other basic hygiene/sanitation.

Again, that's something I've never seen any local health organization do on social media in the last 15 years.

Beds in NEO are damn near, if not already at max. I know 3 CC nurses and all 3 have said the same damn thing(s). This isn't some grand conspiracy or scare tactic at the healthcare level. It's real.

My only concern is overwhelming the hospital system and their staff along with potential long term consequences that may bring.

Beyond that? If you don't wish to take reasonable steps to protect yourself or, a foreign concept for so many, protecting others... then your life possibly being lost contributes to a far greater cause that Thanos and Dawrin appreciate and thank you for.

The problem is some decent people will likely die or feel the affects of loss and burden along the way.

I always have preferred the bottom version because it's a discreet manner to check a lady's hygiene before diving in

I know someone who is double vaxxed that is going to skip their work potluck because of the Omnicron variant is going around. Never mind that it has been described as mild. The people at this person's job are all vaxxed and wear masks, at least when they're not eating. This whole saga has made people more neurotic than I could have ever imagined.

I don't think you understand to what lengths I would stoop to miss a work potluck.

Omicron variant? That's a lot more convenient than faking my own death.

You know, I would like to believe that's the true angle this person is taking but knowing her I don't think it is. I will have to remember it though for future reference in case I'm invited to any potlucks or off hours work related functions.
