Part of me thinks this is a spoof, but there is that other part of me that has lived through the last 18 months that thinks this is real... WOW.

I didn’t define damage as death only. Go visit an ICU and ask the staff about Delta

They’re overwhelmed yet the hospitalization numbers are lower as of August 16th than their peak? How did the hospitals survive the first wave when everyone was unvaccinated?

Volprof wasn’t human like the rest of us.

I can assure you I am indeed human

No doubt in my mind it's real.

Forklift is my primary mode of transportation

Go ask hospital leadership about adequate staffing. The bigger issue during this whole thing has been nursing shortages, from them having to stay at home to take care of kids, to nurses getting 0 protection last to, to now nurses being threatened with being fired if they dont get the vaccine. And then you have petty hospital leadership like in the area where I live who, if you leave you can only not come back to the hospital you used to work at, but also any hospital in their network, and they control all of them but one.
Theres been a lot of numbers thrown around during this thing that are wrong, the first is full ER's, they stay packed, and hospitals like them being packed because if they arent, they arent making money. The second is places running out of beds, that could be true, but thats because floors arent running at 100% due to staffing shortages, but hospitals would rather cry woe is me, then admit that theyre running off good nurses left and right.

Yes, but it is not a condition for which one can receive an IEP or 504 plan in school, or which falls under the protection of the ADA when diagnosed by a certified doctor.

I have a son under an IEP. Everyone is different but, to me, context matters. If someone calls their friend a retard in jest it doesn’t bother me. If someone called my son that I would have a big problem.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott Tests Positive for COVID-19

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott tests positive for COVID-19

So, he tests every day.
All tests were negative until Tuesday.
He currently has no symptoms.
Monday’s test was therefore negative.
But Monday night he had a big crowded, massless event.
The article clearly implies he was exposed to Covid Monday night and tested positive Tuesday because of it.

Apparently incubation period is getting much shorter as well.

I can attest to the incubation period. Since I caught Covid and a friend had their positive same day. We had only been together just two days before symptoms were fully manifest. Met on a Saturday night, both of us were symptomatic and positive on Tuesday.

Shorter incubation period should actually help. Faster to quarantine. I don’t know if anyone after my positive test who had tested positive. And I was pretty diligent to contact everyone I came in contact with in that window.

I sat across a conference table (about 3 feet) on Thursday and half a day friday from a friend who has covid. He has symptoms and a positive test. Neither he nor I wore masks. He didn't talk much. I washed my hands frequently. I do not have any symptoms.

So far: SIL tested positive for antibodies without symptoms while living in my home, son had covid with symptoms, and my friend in close proximity in a conference room. I wonder if I am just lucky or if something else is in play.

He had no symptoms but was admitted and given the monoclonal antibody treatment which is usually reserved for immunocompromised and people at serious risk. Since he's been an opponent of mask mandates you'd expect him to demonstrate there's noting to fear about getting covid.
