Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

[NurseGoodVol]

I would love for someone to explain this opening sentence:

Sounds like January 2021 and the great vaccine push. They are still carrying the water for a position that’s standing on quicksand.

Sounds like January 2021 and the great vaccine push. They are still carrying the water for a position that’s standing on quicksand.

It's not standing on quicksand, at this point. It's long sunk.

The circulating strain is a different virus.
Nobody is actually getting very sick.
The WH just told us that they know "everyone is going to get COVID."
Everyone who was willing to take the shots has had them by now.

Time to move on.

I personally know people who have stories similar to this.....so sad



‘It’s Truly Unreal’: Stories of Negligence at the Hand of COVID-19 Hospital Treatment Protocols Continue to Surface 'It's Truly Unreal': Stories of Negligence at the Hand of COVID-19 Hospital Treatment Protocols Continue to Surface

I’m concerned with some of the statements made in the article. Every hospital has a nutritionist on staff. Nutrition is a large part of healing. It would be truly concerning if hospital staff weren’t hydrating and feeding people in a timely manner when they are ill.
It certainly was policy in the 5 places I was at to hydrate or keep the gut active.
I think the original covid before variants and delta caused most of the deaths incurred in the first year and a half. Those OG covid strains were reason enough to keep families at bay for not visiting. Aerosolizing was a problem as no unit has all negative pressure rooms which are the only acceptable industry standard for aerosolized viruses. I’m not sure the general public is aware of those standards.
I’m all for questioning and finding out how different hospitals handled their protocols. I still believe we totally screwed the pooch with not pushing harder for ambulatory early treatment protocols. Go home till you can’t breathe was never an answer.

Ive been meaning to ask you, and cant remember if I did.. Why were they treating covid with fentanyl? from what i remember its easily one of the worst opioids as far as supressing breathing, so why use that on someone with a respiratory virus?

I would love for someone to explain this opening sentence:

Big pharma needs to sell more shots. So we are going to fear monger until we hit our projected profit. Dang all those blacks and republicans. They are making it hard to hit that number.

Could you tell my hospital that, they are still in the CDC funk science.

It’s not even Covid? What is the new virus?

 

[joevols89]

Yeah, seems like all of the politicians and others who think they are our betters got the bug after mutiple vaxes and boosters. They won't let the best tennis player in the world play in the US Open, but millions of unvaxed illegal aliens are pouring into our country. I got the 1st vax and a week later had COVID. Never got another shot or booster.

Congratulations

I would find this person. And I would hang them above the hospital steps, after I cut out their tongue.

As they were leaving after he passed on Oct. 5, Eyerly said a hospital staff member yelled at them “to get vaccinated.”

It was only used with vented pts on high PEEP. (peak end expiratory pressure) it keeps the alveoli, where exchange of O2 for CO2 happens, popped open longer. Ventilation at high PEEP is painful. With covid lung compliance or elasticity was always an issue. The lungs in severe covid had compliance issues that just got worse as the tissue became fibrotic. It was much worse than ARDS which is another respiratory condition treated with high PEEPS.
Ketamine was also added for those that reached max fentanyl dose. Some people had to be paralyzed to be synchronous with the vent.
TBH in 16 years I’ve never seen high vent settings.

It wasn’t a subtle thing and the worst culture for criticism on unvaccinated was a university hospital. They were all in.

It’s called the every election cycle virus.

I was hoping for an explanation of this nonsense...

Vaccine hesitancy is strong among the Black population, particularly in the South, Mountain States, Southwest as well as the Pacific Northwest. Prior research has shown that a combination of lack of healthcare access, medical racism and misinformation has led to that hesitancy.

How about our fine gov experimenting on people like they are guinea pigs for starters.

I completely agree with you on the early treatment protocols. I have a good friend who is a doctor who says he's had great success with early treatment. I'd like to hope there was some fabrication going on with the malnutrition part of that story but if I'm being completley honest with myself nothing would surprise me at this point. A friend of ours had a family member with a similar story so it really would not surprise me.

When they can’t breath they can’t eat. It just takes too much energy. Put an NG down and give them the kilocalories they need to fight.

It's still a coronavirus. The Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 "variants" have a constellation of mutations in the spike protein (the sole target of mRNA vaccines) that allow it to basically act like a mismatched influenza strain on a bad year for vaccines. Additionally, it is much less virulent (causes less severe infection in most people).

All in all, good news for humanity, bad news for vaccines.

Keep in mind that we have 4-5 major coronavirus lineages that circulate seasonally, and we really don't care about them because they are minor respiratory viruses that we know we can't eliminate.

It’s rebranding. There have been Corona viruses forever. This is the first one that anyone decided to care about.

It's not forced if the person can simply walk away. No different than if the employer requires every employee to wear a tie.

I've always been in favor of the employer being liable if they require something that gets a person injured. No different than if that required tie mentioned above gets caught in some machinery.

Bad analogy. I could take the tie off at the end of the day. Can’t do that with a shot.
