That person will be reported and banned for threats, and Berenson will probably have a sympathetic employee internally flip a switch on his account that disallows reports against it for COVID-19 misinfo.

Horrifying work story about proning:


We have 5 patients on proning rotations on the floor today. Our proning schedule is 16 hours proned, 8 hours supined/side-lying. I was helping the team when one shared a story about a patient who was proned and was lying on his dick. It went ischemic (lost blood flow) and he had 2/3 of his dick and his nuts amputated. Helluva thing to wake up to after being sedated for days/weeks.

the media discourse has done a near 180 and now isn't saying COVID is just a red state full hospital problem anymore lol

quote:

Hospitals across the nation are buckling under the surge in COVID-19 infections linked to the highly transmissible delta variant of the coronavirus, with some states reporting their intensive care units are rapidly filling with patients, much like winter’s wave of cases before vaccines were readily accessible.

More than a quarter of the nation’s ICU beds in use are currently occupied by COVID-19 patients, according to figures maintained by the Department of Health and Human Services. But an increasing number of states have said their intensive care wards are reaching capacity, with 1 in 5 ICUs at or over 95% full nationwide, The New York Times reported.

Public health officials from Hawaii to Mississippi, from Oregon to Texas have portended bleak statistics in the coming weeks, saying hospitalizations are already higher now than they were in January. Alabama said Tuesday it was out of ICU beds and was actually at “negative” capacity, and Oregon said hospitalizations rose 11% overnight as new cases soared.

also holy hell, one quarter of US ICU beds are COVID patients right now :stare: i'm sure that's perfectly sustainable and fine

and 20% of ICUs are 95% or more full

-Afghans live here and hate the Taliban
-Wow a lot of Alaska Airlines employees are dying of covid, that's weird since covid is over right

They're going to have him showering in MABs and sitting on a chair made of booster needles, he's not getting sick.

He's also going to blame Trump I bet even though Delta is effectively a brand new pandemic that started in India on his watch.

Just checked Chicago and Illinois, looks like they're starting to head up. Weirdly the UK is flat but they're still getting new cases so it's going up in total.

It seems like people are taking it seriously enough to at least stunt the speed of the growth but not the growth itself.

Nah. They're probably dosing him with Pfizer every month or some poo poo. At the very least, I have vanishingly few doubts that he's not gotten more than two doses.

The whiplash this time is going to be ridiculously fast because of how out of control fast Delta outbreaks blow up. We went from almost literally "covid is over" to the worst outbreak of the entire pandemic here in something like five weeks.

Yeah. I was starting to get questions from folks like two months ago about when I was gonna start doing poo poo in public again, and I told them I'd see how things went over the winter since I figured we'd have some horrific wave by then; I actually didn't expect us to have the entire country on fire so soon.

I really hoped I was being too cautious, but I didn't see any way we weren't going to eventually be crushed by the Modi variant. Vaccination rates have slowed to nearly nothing, most people had burned their masks, we were opening Biden, etc. And little of any of that has changed.

do you people have any idea how much money the lockdowns cost? or how many brunches were missed? those brunches that no one will ever get back, they're gone forever now. not to mention all the time children had to spend with their parents. it probably scarred those kids for life and will be a constant debilitating condition for their entire lives.

I thought this was going to pop off bigtime in a couple weeks when school started here but once again being the most pessimistic person I know is not nearly pessimistic enough.
