the way this went in india was total chaos after hospitals lost oxygen. families and people started buying oxygen and oxygen cylinders themselves and driving to have them filled, taken to the hospital, etc. people fought over it and there were almost certainly slayings or deaths from it.

poo poo's going to get wild in an american state when the same happens and 12 gauge ammo is cheaper and more available than oxygen cylinders

Americans are getting a taste of the political and social chaos our government unleashes on "rogue states" that resist being economically exploited in the name of our freedoms and I for one am glad of it

Pretty hard to tell how much of that is logistics capacity that could be solved by moving people around or having the national guard drive trucks but I'll tell you what, if the oxygen supply does actually fail, the number of deaths is going to totally fail to shock people at all and nothing will be done, actually. I'm serious. People are going to nod sadly as they're informed that their family member died due to respiratory failure cough exacerbated by lack of oxygen and then go home. I'm not saying there won't be mass death on an unimaginable scale I'm saying our apparatus to suppress public rage is the only functioning thing left in this hell country and people will shut up or they'll be shut up.

yeah i don't disagree. also months of nonstop media harping on "look only unvaccinated people are getting sick! only the bad people are suffering! don't be a bad person!" will make something outrageous like 5,000 florida deaths in a week not even raise an eyebrow

so 70% + vaxxed, a touch of the fear, with mandated masks for anything indoors looks to be what has to happen to get r0 down.

Learning to live with the virus is coded language for learning to accept wave after wave of mass death. Maybe it'll mean something different eventually but not any time soon.

"Pandemic of the unvaccinated" was just teeing up the notion that mass death is fine, actually, and we can just go about our business and ignore it. Anyone saying that vaccinated people can get sick and die can be shouted down as antivax, and anybody who actually tried to do a riot over their relatives dying in droves will be shot in the head with a CS canister as is tradition.

LA seems to be doing okayish with masked schools and they have higher community spread I think.

we will know by the end of next week though.

I mean camps have been ongoing slammed full all summer with no noticeable difference.

I'm ready to buy this is a real trend now. Good thing for Delta the "virtual pilot" for SPS is a load of trash and they're effectively forcing everyone to go back in person.

Had a neighbor come up and ask me what respirator I'm using and where she can get one. :unsmith:

She goes back to 30 elementary age kids in an unventilated room in a week and is scared. :smith:

e: if mask compliance is really good and a lot of the kids are wearing filtering respirators (lord knows a bunch of people I know have asked me where to get kid-sized kf94s) then maybe we'll just pucker through this and stay on the "everyone doesn't die" side of Rt.

let's see

if the Florida hospital systems oxygen supply is due to run out within the next 48 hours, that's August 28

symptomatic COVID on average hits within five days, so backtracking from the 28th puts us at August 23 as the stop-line for when most of these people would have been infected at the latest

it takes two weeks for vaccination to fully set, so backtracking from August 23 puts us at August 9 for when people should have been given their second shot

CDC guidance says a 21-day interval between the first and second shot, so backtracking from August 9 puts us at July 21 for when people should have been given their first shot

Florida was 47.9% fully-vaccinated as of July 21

what I'm trying to get at here was that all of these hospitalizations were effectively locked-in if you're only looking at vaccination as the way out of this pandemic

you can't vaccinate your way out of a surge that's already happening because the vaccines have a lead time of over a month

I mean, you probably know this, but for the same reason we're never going to get another stimulus check: the meager amount the US govt gave people was resoundingly successful in keeping people out of poverty, which made people reconsider whether they want to work 3 jobs for starvation wages. Businesses are enraged that no one wants to work for minimum wage anymore, they require a large population of desperate people constantly teetering on the edge of ruin who can't afford to turn down any job offer.
