yeah i'm becoming more of a fan of "gently caress it, let everything open up" because the only way anyone's gonna take anything seriously is if they have to say goodbye to their loved ones on ipads

my family's rapidly becoming part of vaccinated respirator crew and i'm tired of caring about other people's health more than they do

If anyone tests positive during the cruise, the ship sits offshore until it burns itself out.

I'll only go full 'gently caress 'em' if the next generation of vaccines is fully sterilizing for all possible varients. Until then the actions of these people impact me.

I like how Sleepy Joe continued the Trumpian strategy of letting States do whatever they want whether it's banning mask mandates or demanding the cruise ships be allowed to restart business.

For the god tier comrade Xi response it was the national government creating and tracking a actual nation state game plan.

To ruin the movie plot twist

For population control no one in the Logan's Run setting can live past a certain age of 30.

However to trick the people to into essentially committing suicide they created the myth of the Carousel ceremony that some people will get reincarnated/renewed.

Also not suprising white people had the lowest impact for both their bank account and job security since white collar jobs can be done via worked for home.

Meanwhile poor neighborhoods in NYC like Queens / Bronx had a much high case rate and also death toll from COV19

I don't have a personal fight in the BMI thing since I'm tall and skinny but it really is a dumb measurement outside of a narrow range. This man is slightly overweight based on BMI:

WTF?
We've talked about undertesting itt before, but here is a clear cut example of it:

https://wcyb.com/news/local/local-covid-19-hospitalizations-surge-among-unvaccinated-exceeding-fall-peak posted:

Local COVID-19 hospitalizations surge among unvaccinated, exceeding fall peak

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. — Local hospitals are reopening more COVID-19 wards as a troubling fourth wave of cases hits our region.

Hospitalizations shot up dramatically, doubling from a low of 60 three weeks ago, and now up 30 percent in just one day to nearly 130.


Ballad Health COVID-19 hospitalizations through April 7, 2021. (WCYB Graphic)

Health experts are surprised it's increased so fast. Cases haven't risen nearly as much.

“There is far more disease in our community than the positive cases are picking up,” Ballad Health chief infection prevention officer Jamie Swift said. “I think people aren't getting tested. I think there's a lot of people that assume their symptoms are related to allergies.”


New COVID-19 cases each day for Carter, Greene, Hancock, Hawkins, Johnson, Sullivan, Unicoi and Washington Counties in Tennessee; Buchanan, Dickenson, Lee, Russell, Scott, Smyth, Tazewell, Washington and Wise Counties and the cities of Bristol and Norton in Virginia; and Harlan, Leslie and Letcher Counties in Kentucky. Red line is the 14-day moving average. Yellow line is Ballad Health's recommended level to control the spread: an average of 5 new cases per day per 100,000 people over the last 14 days. (WCYB Graphic)

Ballad Health now projects a peak around 160 hospitalizations. We've already surpassed the fall surge, but with 20 percent of the region fully vaccinated, Ballad officials don't expect it to be nearly as bad as during the winter.

It's younger people who just became eligible for the shots fueling the rise. The unvaccinated and people in between their first and second dose are now getting sick.

“We've got 30 year olds, 40 year olds, 50 year olds, 60 year olds in the hospital this week,” Swift said.

Ballad chief operating officer Eric Deaton said Monday he’s worried whether nurses can handle the additional stress and trauma.

“We have activated our behavioral health units to continue to meet with our team members on a weekly basis to understand if they're having any burnout or other issues,” Deaton said.

Health officials said this surge is mostly due to spring break trips and people largely no longer wearing masks.

Just 30 percent of our region has taken at least the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and demand is down in Northeast Tennessee. It pushed the Tri-Cities vaccination rate to drop below the national rate for the first time Thursday.

Health experts hope it's a wake-up call to get more people vaccinated.

“If they see the numbers, if they realize, 'I need to make the time. This needs to be a priority. I need to get my vaccine,' we really can turn this around,” Swift said.
I hope this isn't as common as I expect it is.

is your bmi high? simply look at yourself: are you an athlete? no? then it probably means you're unhealthy. yes? you're probably fine

just because lebron james is healthy at a high bmi doesn't mean you are lmao
