I'm pretty curious as to whether the entire nation can really just pretend it isn't happening this time and keep everything open or if so many people will die that tons of places will close simply because the people who work there or live there are dead now. Hundreds of thousands of people are gonna die in the next few months and while there will be no shutdowns, stimulus, or public health measures of any kind taken and schools will remain open, can that really protect number from a half million deaths? I guess we're gonna find out(i assume it will actually make number go up somehow)

Plagues always leave real estate and home furniture deals in their wake as well as new job opportunities. Sucks to be a feudal lord though when the peasants you were squeezing have either died or hosed off. Someone should make a law.

antivaxxers are not the enemies, we need more than vaccinations to end this but keep on falling for the trap of blaming them for everything while nothing is closed, hospitals are failing, and governments are doing nothing but pointing to a convenient scapegoat

That's right. Antivaxxers are not persuadable with reasoning/logic or even propaganda. It's like blaming non-human animals for not wanting to go to the vet to get vaccinated for rabies. They cannot actually conceptualize the harm they are doing to themselves and society by not getting vaccinated.

There's also a group of people who aren't antivaxxers, but haven't been vaccinated because they have enough poo poo going on in their lives that this is a low priority for them (even if it harms the rest of society).

This is why mandatory vaccinations for literally everyone medically eligible in the US should be national policy, at the barrel of a gun. Roll up to every city with the national guard/etc and forcibly vaccinate everyone. I can't believe people are even debating this in the US. It's even convenient for people who haven't made time to go out and get vaccinated; the military will be knocking on your door with that vaccine dose primed and ready!

I can't wait for no-knock vaccination warrants.

It's so bizarre watching back home (British Columbia) have exactly the same cases as New South Wales despite like 60% of the population and 10% of the testing and there the CHO is going to football games maskless while here everyone is panicking and talking about what a massive failure the state is.

Yeah vax rates are a factor but we're entering Spring in a week, was 27c/81f in Sydney yesterday, and you guys haven't even started flu/covid season yet.

BC's chart is even more concerning than Canada's as a whole.

why does the ruling class think that allowing all US hospitals to fill up and allowing the US healthcare system to collapse is going to work out better for them in the long run? It doesn't seem like there's any reason why that would be the case. Am I just dumb? Why not avoid total collapse of the healthcare system instead?

I looked it up and seems like all the New Zealand hospitals are super low on ICU beds even without the pandemic. I don't have any evidence but I would humbly submit this is from every geriatric billionaire moving there to avoid the problems they caused.

another good thing about mandatory vaccinations would be a bunch of antivaxxers getting themselves killed by trying to fight it. i mean directly killed, by the national guard or whatever. not indirectly killed, by getting infected, but that's good too.

I've had countless c+ patients in my ICU who didn't get the vaccine and don't particularly regret it. They still aren't convinced it would have helped them. I don't even bother asking if they think they got anyone else sick.

Forced vaccinations at gunpoint is an excellent and appropriate use of our military. If their purpose is to keep us all safe, then they should do what the US did for polio and what China did for smallpox
