Like I said, if you can look at me with a straight face and tell me that you wouldn't rather have a masked hacking covid+ person as they passed by you than a non masked, then you're an idiot or a liar.

Or vaccinated, or got natural immunity, or realise there is a 98% chance you wont even know that you were sick.

This intense sense of othering is disturbing. They have Covid, not leprosy.

83 covid patients. They have almost 660 beds total in that county.

Only 63 open beds.

Covid pts, make up just 14% of total bed usage.

Context.

114 total icu beds, doesnt say how many Covid icus.

92% of COVID related hospitalizations are not vaccinated. That's the main CONTEXT.
Cases are on the rise, school is about to start, and policies and procedures are being reevaluated.

that's actually lower than what we've been hearing - other reports are as high as 99% being unvaccinated.

I was in the grocery store the other day and saw a good friend of mine with a mask on. He is a gun toting, bible thumping, red-white-and-blue conservative that probably has a poster of Trump above his bed. I asked him if he thought the mask was necessary for COVID, he said no, he didn't have COVID and was vaccinated. He was wearing a mask because he had a cold and didn't want to spread it.

I bring this up for two reasons:

1. We shouldn't assume why somebody is wearing a mask or not...nor infer their political persuasion.

2. And you know what, if we normalize people wearing a mask in public when they are sick with anything that wouldn't be the worst thing and I would consider it a positive outcome of this whole experience.

Despite Cuomo warning that schools could become "superspreaders" and Randi Weingarten saying she'll "try" to have schools open this Fall the data continues to show that young kids ain't the problem.

Hell, most of the trumpers and anti vaxxers in here are suggesting that it's about to happen again - but me telling someone who is actively avoiding a solution to help prevent the spread to not cry about it is fear mongering?

LOL

1 question....can you tell me out all the vaxs given how many are reinfected??? Not reinfected and hospitalized. Just reinfected?? While your at it. Find how many were infected with H1N1..and not the CDC estimate when the stopped counting. The actual infected...if you can't maybe consider why??

Just heard from one of my specialists at UT Med who helped save my life in 2013. They've been told by hospital admin to "hold on to their asses" as their rate of fill in the ICU and Covid ICU are increasing noticeably.

This doctor also said that none of the dialysis patients who received the vaccine are producing antibodies. Their weakened immune systems combined with the dialysis treatmemts prevented their bodies from reacting to the vaccine and producing antibodies.

I can go along with that line of thinking. It can be a common courtesy, but I'm not certain I would go as far as making masks a mandate.

If we are going to mandate mask wearing, then we need to mandate hand washing after you use the restroom. That irks me more than COVID...

Mandating things like that is a short step from stoping an bodily fluid transfer for fear of infection...chewing gum, spiting, uncover cough or sneeze...how far are we willing to take it..... in today legal system one could comfortably sue a poster on a board like this for endangering his health...high blood pressures or misinformation.....whats the limit?

Yes i know you saying you cant mandate it

And yes

Having the luxury of hindsight of how you objectively believe lockdowns were "unneeded" isn't a dunk, unless you have evidence that they weren't effective.

Not sure how you can foist that without proving a negative.

Hospitals and healthcare providers early on were absolutely being strained, it's revisionist history to say they weren't. The lockdowns were a measure to prevent hospital resources from completely being overrun.

Don't conflate the effect of the lockdown to prevent hospitals from being obliterated with the effect of the lockdowns on the economy, they're separate arguments and would agree that the lockdowns went on far too long and damaged the economy tremendously. I've voiced my opinion early that my governor did a great job of weighing the ROI for opening up Florida earlier than most others; he rolled the dice and won. But he did so with the knowledge that our hospitals were largely out of the woods at that point.

Simple. Lockdowns did a TON of damage and you can’t prove they helped a damn thing. Foist that.
