So every open biden is place is touting the "vaccine protects very well against severe cases" thing. I'm trying but actually having a pretty hard time to find out what exactly counts as a "severe case". Is it hospitalizations? Something worse?

Hospitalized with supplemental oxygen (intubated), I think. Regardless, it's waaaaaaaay past the threshold of what any normal person would think of as "severe", which is why you get people with "mild" cases who are getting pacemakers.

Edit: Apparently not necessarily tubed. I guess cannulas count. But, yeah, "severe" COVID means you're pretty hosed.

washington state is on fire, hospitalizations for the state just passed their winter surge peak and have zero sign of stopping




case counts are skyrocketing exponentially too




pretty drat strange we have so much more hospitalizations now relative to cases compared to the winter surge!

also king county is still shooting up and about a week away from blowing past its winter surge hospitalizations. this is one of the best vaccincated areas in the country!

pretty crazy that basically no one understands anything about this pandemic including the most basic terminology even after we've been suffering from it for 18 months! i feel like a good population of people have learned absolutely nothing since april 2020 but also they are arrogant and stubborn and believe that learning anything ever is impossible.

Look, sometimes you just have to get diabetes and/or permanent brain fog from a preventable illness. Do you realize that if I protected myself and those around me, I couldn’t go to BRUNCH?!?!?! Do you have any idea, any idea at all, how important that is in my culture?

There’s a lot of medical professionals in my family and social circles and they have all crack pinged in 1 of 2 ways, without exception.

1) They are Eric Crackl-Ping posting in this thread while self-medicating
Or
2) They’ve gone full brunch lib because “I’m just going to catch it at work anyway”

hawaii will lock down again, they're considering a curfew now but that isn't going to do anything but we have to make absolutely sure that our lovely nonsense half measures without even a working theory are indeed worthless before we can try the thing we already know works.

It's not, it makes perfect sense. human death and suffering is part and parcel of the structure of the American Experience.

The mode depends on your state now. In CA, major metro areas are huge on masks and pretty strong on vaccination. Chud Zones will never be rid of Covid.

Maintaining the icu vents wouldn't have any effect on the ability of an OR to pull out bullets. The services are completely different. If there was any serious risk of loss of function for his arm he'd be in surgery.
