I see it happening on the patient list that I maintain. The patients are no longer listed as covid patients but they're still hanging around. Exactly what is keeping them in the hospital I don't have details of, I'm not opening their charts and prying into the details since they aren't my patients, but the PPE requirements are removed and they no longer are flagged as covid patients.

Items 9 and onward, I'm sure you've looked at this list before. The patients are no longer on the covid list, therefore they won't be reported by these metrics.

i'll back this up as well. at my hospital after day 18 you're considered COVID negative, all isolation is discontinued, no PPE needed, and you're not counted in the hospital COVID stats anymore. you're "COVID recovered". there have been multiple times where we had "only" 4 COVID patients in my ICU, with the rest being COVID recovered who were too sick to leave. statistically, our ICU only had 4 COVID patients.

im in Ohio where omicron hit hard very early. we would probably be seeing BA.2 admits if it was surging anywhere, and we just aren't seeing that yet, thankfully.

Welp, my partner has covid :(. I picked up a pulse oximeter and it's holding steady around 96-97, but sometimes will drop down to 93 briefly and then go back up. Is that normal? I'd imagine the time to worry is if it stays down there consistently, or is consistently trending lower but I'm not sure. We're both boosted up so hopefully it's nothing severe. I tested negative so far and am wearing an aura around the house, we'll see if I can avoid catching it.

Side note, forty bucks for a pulse ox at walgreens seems like a loving ripoff

I mean if you want to just chill at home forever, more power to you, nothing wrong with that

but if someone really wants to go for a walk outside by themselves but can't bring themselves to do it because they're convinced they'll catch covid and die unless they do three dozen mask fit checks before they open the door then that might be an actual problem

None of us are, m'goon.

Virus is zoonotic so it'll always have a way to keep itself percolating through disease pools and it mutates rapidly. Newer version of Omicron is even more infectious than the previous version of Omicron.

Since it's just going to circulate without end, we're eventually going to end up with something that's more infectious than Measles and deadlier than Delta.

But you can protect yourself by keeping boosted and wearing a good mask.

Ah yes, the only two options that exist:

1) abandon society and stay inside for the duration of my natural life, never again venturing beyond the threshold of my domicile, unless I am wearing MOPP4, in an endless nightmare of eternal restrictions and social isolation.

2) Going outside right now for the fucnsucc with every stranger, payphone, and Applebee’s I can find.

Listen, I've been around a bit, you know, and I thought I'd seen some creepy things go on in the movie business, but I really have to say this is the most disgusting thing that's ever happened to me.
Here's an anti mask idiot getting stomped by mountain security for trying to get on a skilift with no mask

https://www.reddit.com/r/skiing/comments/swgo1o/lifties_now_getting_combat_pay/

pretty funny. Also, the places I ski definitely will NOT do this, or say jack poo poo to unmasked chodes, despite in theory having the same policy. And that's why I wear an elastomeric when I am in line and it's not ski-on-lifts.

everyone hates it when the lift slows down, so, this dude is doing a cool job making friends from all sides.

e: I find poo poo like this much, much funnier and more satisfying than hermaincainaward content, at this point. It's funny, the loser loses, and it shows some people somewhere are enforcing rules.
