Hillsborough updates their dashboard to show quarantined students as well now. I�ll take a screenshot later and attach it but�

There are 2k positives and 10k quarantined in 8 days of school. Around 1% of students have Covid and 5% are quarantined. 8 days. how the gently caress does anyone think the rest of the year will go.

what would even happen if somebody did a vaccine mandate with out 'religious/personal whatever' exemptions??

if the mandate equally applied to everyone its not like its establishing preferential treatment, i can't figure out what would be Constitutionally Objectionable about that. i understand why that church won their case against california(?), because there were rules being applied to church specifically, not applied to other public spaces, which makes sense in a lawyer brain way, so i'm not sure why the reverse of this scenario couldn't be true

this is all bill clinton's fault, isnt it

another florida county asking people to please consider dying at home as a courtesy to their overstretched emergency responders

Ambulances backing up outside Lakeland Regional as EMS crews are 'critically stretched'

quote:

A burly man with an oxygen tube wrapped around his face was wheeled out of an ambulance outside Lakeland Regional Health Medical Center on Monday evening.

He wasn’t the only patient EMS workers were hurriedly trying to get from the stretcher into a hospital bed. Ambulances were backed up at the emergency room doorstep throughout the night.

A Ledger reporter observed seven in line around 6:30 p.m. A healthcare worker from Watson Clinic told the newspaper that she’d counted as many as 16 bumper to bumper in the driveway hours earlier.

These ambulances sat on the curb, unable to move as more and more 9-1-1 calls came in.

Lakeland Regional leaders at one point Monday evening sent out an urgent message to Polk County’s Fire Rescue team.

“They asked: Can you not bring us anyone for awhile?” Robert Weech, Polk’s Fire Chief, told the county commission Tuesday morning.

EMT workers steered patients to other hospitals when possible.

Much like their hospital counterparts, these first-responders are also being pushed to the limit, working extended mandatory overtime, coping with their own exhaustion and stress.

They've been handling roughly as many as 42% more 9-1-1 calls than usual of late. And that's at a time when the county's fire rescue division has 35 vacancies, and another 16 EMS employees are currently out of commission due to COVID-19, county officials say.

Weech is calling on Polk County residents to do what they can to relieve some of the strain.

“If you can avoid using the 9-1-1 system, this is probably a good time to do that,” he said. “The system is under strain. Certainly if you have an emergency, stroke, heart attack or if you have an accident, certainly call 9-1-1. But if you have other ways of getting medical care, you need to exhaust those at this time so that we can deal with those other bigger emergencies.”

there�s no limit and he is relying on normal people self mitigating to eventually control the surge and it�ll work

I�m wondering if Pfizer found some real elevated rates of myocarditis/pericarditis in kids and is just trying to dilute it out with more patients

the FDA was the one that forced the longer larger trial to try and catch extremely rare side effects.

the American Academy of Pediatrics has pointed out this is loving stupid to do in the middle of a pandemic because the risk of long Covid symptoms in a kid appear to be orders of magnitude higher than any risks the extended trials will catch but as we've seen the Biden administration is incapable of admitting they hosed up when they can instead claim to be "following the science".

Oh, good. The medical guy said that these weak-rear end bullshit masking "requirements" are gonna get rolled back "as soon as we see things start to turn around".

That's exactly how you crush a disease. And it's why doctors always tell you to stop taking antibiotics the instant you begin to feel better.

Vaccine side-effects in kids are really dangerous for overall herd immunity. It's hard enough with the lunatics, something comes out that a kid had a blood clot from the COVID vaccine and suddenly a whole bunch of well meaning parents aren't touching it.

I'm not saying its justified in this particular scenario (it probably isn't) but there's a very specific handbook here for very specific reasons.

even if there is something shown at a higher level than expected, release the data and grant the EUA. let parents make the call if they are ready to vaccinate or not. nothing can materially change with the vaccine between right now and months from now if/when it is approved.

we already have 30% of the country who will never take the shot no matter what because team blue is telling them to do it. it's a lost cause trying to pander to more vaccine acceptance at this point.
