Covfefe-19 The 12th Part: The Only Thing Worse Than This New Board Is TrumpVirus2020

[ScoobyDoo]

Hospitalizations are dropping nicely. As the US has focused on those most vulnerable, those most likely to end up admitted are now less likely to contract it at all and much much much less likely to have a severe case. This is spectacularly good news.

I have read that our mitigation techniques on Covid have kept our normal glut of Flu hosptializations down drastically. I assume that's true. And isn't that exactly what we need to do? Cause if we had had Covid and a normal flu season would that not have overwhelmed the system entirely?

How are hospitals doing?

Seems like they are doing better since the mask mandate and the vaccine being rolled out with some type of competence

One person in the entire state of North Dakota in the icu because of Covid.

I am sure they all started wearing masks unison and taking it seriously all at the exact same time. Doubt it had anything to do with a virus behaving like every other one known to man.

Looked it up, mast mandate ended on 1/18.

This is great news. Unfortunately for many, they would be more excited and giddy if they could point to a more fearful, hysterical story.

Disgusting really.

I thought our lack of mitigation techniques and compliance were the problem? Now they saved us?

It might have? One thing the nitwits continue to ignore is that when hospitals have to move to surge capacity they obviously lose the ability for normal procedures to happen. PACUs are converted to ICUs. Procedural areas like CT rooms, GI labs, heart catheters are converted to patient rooms, etc. So none of the normal care gets to happen, which is bad for population health and absolutely horrible for hospital budgets. COVID does not pay the bills.

We're also a year into this and I find the selfishness insane. You want to go eat at a restaurant and go to the gym, so f the nurses, techs, doctors, schedulers, IT folks, aids, transport staff, janitors and anyone else involved in patient care can get f'd.

Thank you. Exactly as I figured but it's nice to talk to someone who knows and is involved.

Biden buying another 100 million J&J shots. Ah the sweet smell of competent leadership!

You are selfish you whack job. Stay at home if you would like. Quit fetishizing over what others do with their lives, especially healthy people.

And what is it with CovidZombies and gyms? We are an overweight as F nation and it ties into just about every health issue. And ding, ding, it is highly correlated with bad Covid outcomes.

Healthy People going to a gym isn’t causing people to get sick you selfish whack job.

Also, influenza and other respiratory bugs are at historically low levels. So obviously masks and social distancing has effects.

Yeah, that is the conclusion my mother and I came to on the phone the other day. Seems to be entirely logical.

Not to mention work/school from home and depressed amounts of travelling.

That's cause doctors and hospitals are classifying all flu cases as Covid, so they can pocket that sweet gubmint cash.

Of course.

 

[Jimjamesak]

Alaska has made the vaccine available to anyone over 16.

Can’t to see our Governor take credit for something the Alaska Native health system has been working overtime on.

COVID does not pay the bills.

But wait, all my idiot union members say hospitals are raking in the cash with covid cases and that's why everyone that dies is a covid death. It's like printing money. When these saw jockeys are not cutting steel they work as doctors and nurses on the side.

 

[Jeb2020]

Sounds almost Sciency.

Did you discuss areas that kept restaurants open, had in person school all year, had fans at college football games, HS games, ect, were open for travel.

Surely those areas had regular flu + Covid.

 

[ScoobyDoo]

No we discussed how my cousin got Covid by going to a maskless, non-social distancing funeral event in the Republican State of North Dakota. Still having residuals from the disease as I understand it.

I'm still having prominent issues with it 3 1/2 months after finally testing negative the week before Thanksgiving, and I have lived in a mask and social distanced for 12 months now. I know I've been luckier than millions who died or ended up in the ICU but COVID sucks donkey balls.

Is that suppose to be one of those alarmist fear stories that justifies everything?

North Dakota has one Covid case in ICU. Ended masking two months ago and has been pretty “open.”

Clearly they have to have Covid plus normal flu.

CHeck with Ma on the next call and get back to us, with logic of course.

 

[Jeb2020]

Texas Rangers Baseball will be open at full capacity on opening day. Great news because other areas will have to keep some sort of pace knowing that if they don’t they will look like silly Charlatans when it makes no difference, “Closed vs Open”

Just like California the hardest mandate State versus Florida lose mandate State. Made no difference. In fact Florida faired a little better even with their older population. Go figure.

Never ceases to amaze me how irrelevant 1/2 million dead have become to the side that went ape fucking shitballs over 3,000 in 2001. Speaks volumes. Also the total irrelevance of all the chronically ill that have been produced from a disease that didn't exist 2 years ago. Amazing. But, hey, TEXAS IS FUCKING OPEN EVERYONE.
