yup, that's the strategy this wave. rack up as many bodies as possible to crank up fear so people get vaccinated

when we could be shipping every drat household KN95s and instructions on how to get a vaccine and why it's important

Atlanta is doing decent, maskwise, but schools are all reaffirming that masks are optional and several of my friends have already had their kid's classes sent home because of confirmed covid. School started 4 days ago.

In a couple weeks Georgia's hospitals are going to be full and turning people away again and the state gov is not going to change course at all.

edit: just checked, georgia is now at 82% icu usage, so it's hosed. I am certain that the icu's in the area bordering florida are already overwhelmed

11-month-old with COVID sent to hospital 150 miles away due to lack of bed space in Houston

HOUSTON -- In a sign that the delta variant is affecting more children on a daily basis, an 11-month-old Texas girl had to be airlifted to a hospital 150 miles away because no local pediatric hospitals would accept her as a transfer patient.

"She needed to be intubated immediately because she was having seizures," said Patricia Darnauer, the administrator for Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital in Houston. "We looked at all five major pediatric hospital groups, and none [had beds] available."

The situation is sad but not surprising for Dr. Christina Propst, who is one of the most outspoken pediatricians in Houston. Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic began, Propst has encouraged masking, social distancing and being cautious to anyone who would listen.

"The emergency rooms at the major children's hospitals here in Houston, the largest medical center in the world, are extremely crowded," she said. "They are filling, if not full, as are the hospitals and intensive care units."

Yeah providing high filtration masks and at home testing kits would have been a great way for Biden to kick off his more serious covid response. Oh well. I guess Trump was actually handling things optimally and Biden could only continue his strategy of doing gently caress all and letting local entities scramble around ineffectively.

yeah i had to have a pest control person out recently and he found out i work in healthcare IT and had some STRONG thoughts on the vaccines he wouldn't stop sharing. you know, his wife does medical coding and she has seen so many people have issues with the vaccines that aren't being reported... lmao

he sent me a link to the Stew Peters show about a woman who supposedly had guillain barre after the vaccine (which could have been true but obviously it's extremely rare). Wtf. Being a cspam regular for years i'm pretty well versed in the d-list right wing media people but i had never heard of stew peters. everything is so goddamn stupid

you should have told that piece of poo poo to get the gently caress off your property but instead you let him do his thing and then paid him for it and posted

why do they loving care so much about the origin? like, do they just want a reason to go to loving war with china or something?

As a long hauler(7 months in), I'd like to know where the virus came from if it increases any possibility of scientists coming up with treatments or a cure. It loving pisses me off how the virus's origins became so political... if it weren't for Trump, I doubt it ever would've became political, at least on the level he made it. When Trump went around calling it the China virus to deflect from his own massive failures of handling the pandemic and his chudbrain surrogates starting fomenting racism and bioweapon conspiracy theories, the subject became completely toxic. I guess it shouldn't be surprising, this is the same guy that refused to ever wear a mask in public and is largely responsible for making masks the dumbest loving culture war ever.
