I’m starting to freak out as to what happens if my significant others epilepsy gets wonky and we have to go to the emergency room.

edit: I heard WI ERs are at 89% capacity and that was a few days ago.

I think our states natural aversion to one another is giving us a bit of a buffer.

Also they probably wouldn’t have to be in the ICU, but even being in the ER waiting room I assume is risky.

Huh let’s check out what Apple News recommends for me based on obsessively reading about Covid-19. Oh a Wall Street Journal Article?

Delta’s Gift is Hybrid Immunity

Holman W. Jenkins Jr. posted:

From the start, our mistake has been our strange reticence to recognize the reality of mild or symptomless Covid. It began on day one with the World Health Organization and certain experts choosing to exaggerate Covid’s deadliness by ignoring mild and unseen cases. The same myopia continues to play havoc today with our ability to answer a crucial question: How rampant is the Delta variant among the vaccinated? The U.S. is hopelessly trying to draw conclusions from unrepresentative data.

Yes! A good question to be asking.

quote:

Still, why would scientists like Anthony Fauci and CDC leaders be satisfied with inadequate data? One reasonable presumption is that people don’t ask questions they don’t want the answers to. From the start, our public-health experts were realistic, not to say fatalistic, about the virus. The CDC on its webpage for months advised that every American should expect to be infected eventually. This advice disappeared only as political messaging became paramount. Accentuating how much viral spread remained unobserved and unmeasured apparently did not fit the agenda.

Uh, okay…

quote:

The public is being hit with absurdly late-to-the-news headlines saying Covid won’t be going away. Its favorite media-approved epidemiologists now warn that everyone must get it sooner or later. Harvard’s Michael Mina breaks the news that not the worst thing right now is vaccinated people getting asymptomatic Delta infections—a “booster” shot against future variants likely to be as robust as any the government will be handing out.

Wait what

quote:

And more absurd than ever is social-media censorship of experts who say anything slightly complicated about masks or vaccine hesitancy, as if their discordant thoughts must still be suppressed in the name of eliminating Covid forever.

This propaganda is now detrimental to the real goal. The coming surprise for Americans is that hybrid immunity, or vaccination plus inevitable exposure to an evolving virus, is our new way out. As much as it was right to try to soften this adjustment, look at Japan today, with Tokyo hospitals near collapse under the weight of a Delta outbreak. Look at New Zealand, an entire nation locked down over what was initially a single Delta case. These countries have yet to find a way to make peace with the virus and allow natural immunity to play its role in domesticating a new and unwelcome guest that won’t be going away. China will be the ultimate case study: facing Delta with a billion-plus people who are immunologically naive or reliant on inferior vaccines.

Oh, well then guys we’re almost done!

ER goon update: It finally happened, woke up feeling fine but as the day progressed I started feeling bad so I got tested and I’m positive.

I think we’ve waited too long to do boosters. I was a first round vaccination as I’m an ER doc. Be careful out there goons.

oh no. hope your symptoms are minor.

my husband is an EM resident right now and i worry that your story will become his. he and i were vaxxed around the same time so if he brings it home, im most likely gonna get it, too. i like when he bring me home stuff from work, but not like this!!!!!

yesterday, he told me that they ran out of negative pressure rooms and had a covid+ patient on a bed, in the hallway. patient refused to wear a mask so patient was reverse-kirbying coronavirus everywhere and on everyone.

My old hospital we'd have contacted the nurse manager who'd have told them to either follow hospital rules or be discharged. Not sure how other places do it.

it would own if disney is without potable water for so long they just decide it's cheaper to rebuild from the ground up somewhere else.. and then they let the old park just decay into an urban exploration hellscape

Good news, all the people going to that fest are going to go home to their better vaccinated neighborhoods after

I did see that my vaccine info finally updated with the state and it reflects the residence at the time of the shot and not my current residence, so I bet a bunch of Chicago north shore vax rates look low because they all just went somewhere else and didnt use their usual residence address
