Seems low, but Monks is a board member of the state medical association, so he would know.

I have a hard time believing that.

Also, gotta assume ICU treats things other than Covid.

I have a hard time believing that.

Is it counter to what you want to believe? Will it change your mind about anything?

Just atrocious journalism there..

OKLAHOMA, Okla. (KOKI) — The Healthier Oklahoma Coalition says there were more patients in ICUs this past July than in July 2020.

On Tuesday afternoon, 246 Oklahomans were in hospitals with COVID-19. LaWanna Halstead with the Oklahoma Hospital Association says the numbers of ICU beds fluctuate hour by hour.

“The total number of beds available really do change hour by hour basis based on patients being admitted, discharged, patients have surgery, or getting better and getting out of ICU,” said Halstead.

Less than 246 because that article simply says 246 people are hospitalized with Covid, period. Unless we’re to assume that every single hospitalized Covid patient is also in ICU.

Gibraltar at least 100% vaccinated by pure number, but cases are up.

Good. This needs to be done. You don't have to get the vaccine, but you also don't get to be a health hazard to those who actually care about their fellow man.

Always in the name of “decency”

I have a much longer list of things you need to get immunized for before I wont consider you a health hazard to our fellow man.

Former Biden COVID adviser says cloth masks ineffective, suggests Americans start wearing N-95 masks

Here’s the transcript….
Do Masks Provide as Much Protection as We Think?

 

[Impossible Girl]

Because vaccines don't cause a system reset.

This isn’t your normal vaccine.

Nah, and nope. Every bed at every hospital? Either every hospital has like 20 beds, if that is the case then thats poor planning on their part.. Secondly, not every patient in ICU is a COVID patient if its even close to true, which I dont id like to see the percentage of which are COVID patients. Lastly,hospital ER's and ICU's are usually packed thats how they make their money, if the arent running at least 80 ish percent their losing money in those places. Its more media fear porn to push their agenda.

And… I just an email where they’ve once again closed down visitation at my Mother-in-law’s nursing home. Here we go again.

Yep. Schools in my district have mandated masks (previously was optional) and there is discussions about going 100% virtual again. At work it was that the vaxxed crowd didn’t have to mask up, now they are saying masks are mandatory regardless of status.

100% online again is a terrible ideas. A lot of kids are way behind because of it last year.

I sent my kid through optional summer school to get caught up and he hated it. And now, hear we go again. This whole thing is becoming a joke and the politicization of it is driving me mad.

Would really like to know how many folks clamoring for masks and lockdowns actually have kids in school.

This isn’t your normal vaccine.

Hundreds of millions of doses suggests they also don't cause a system reset.

I said this the other day, and I still feel this way, we are going to be going through this for 4 years unless people finally say F it. Its the only way Biden can somewhat stay in the seat, if he actually had to budget, en act programs and do all the other junk the pres usually does, we would be screwed.
On the other note, There are about 10-12 of us in the department where I now work, 8 are moms and they are all pissed at the idea of virtual again. Most have said their kids are pissed about it as well.

Of course.

It sounds like you know how to properly work thru the information presented.

This, on the bed occupation %. I’ve read the CEO of a hospital system in Houston say that what we normally think of as capacity is their baseline operating capacity without having to ramp up staff, utilize all beds/rooms, pull equipment out of storage etc. He also said when Houston hospital’s were at roughly 97% “capacity” during their summer peak, that on the same date in 2019 they were at 95% capacity. So the difference attributed to Covid was 2% more, unless everything else disappeared.

So, you know the vaccine doesn’t affect natural antibodies?

I'd think we'd be seeing way more severe vaccinated infections if that were the case. But I'm no immunologist.

Exactly, its part of my frustration with this stuff, a lot of places and people are citing the numbers without actually understanding their meaning.
