yeah everyone up here acting like covid is over, just wearing masks at the store yet still eating out and doing everything else, poo poo is gonna hit the fan soon

I'm gonna tell on myself here for a minute and admit that I just went to Woodland Park Zoo with a friend as my 'last normal thing before SHTF'. I took yesterday off so I could go mid-week and avoid most of the crowds. Despite there not being an outdoor mask mandate like the last time I was there, most people were still wearing them of their own volition. Not all children I saw were masked up but I'd say a majority were.

Well it's like Governor Fabaus said: It is safe to say, to the informed and intelligent, that Arkansas has been known as a liberal and progressive State – perhaps the most liberal and progressive State in the South today.

They just suggested and approved 3 months of FMLA, just like that? I feel like I’m about to snap but my doctor just keeps telling me to “hang in there.”

i've been at my workplace in some form or another for like half my life, and i've been seeing my therapist for 5 years. i've been bitching to him about my workplace and how they treat me like poo poo for a longass time now, so that might be why he didn't really question it.

i understand that i'm incredibly fortunate to have a doctor who's this understanding

yeah we did a Woodland zoo trip about a month ago, just as things were turning up. Was the last big 'normal' thing for us
same on the mask usage, most wore them, kids were 50/50.
since then it's been isolated parks, trails, beaches, playgrounds at low-peak times, etc.

https://www.wral.com/coronavirus/triangle-hospitals-in-crisis-unc-rex-has-more-patients-than-beds/19841758/

quote:

Representatives from the Triangle’s three major hospitals sounded an alarm Wednesday about COVID-19's strain on area hospitals and a dangerous shortage of patient beds.

Speakers from Duke Health, UNC Health and WakeMed held a virtual news conference at 10 a.m. urging the public to do their part and get vaccinated.

According to UNC Health spokesperson Phil Bridges, approximately 463 COVID-positive patients are being treated in 12 UNC hospitals statewide. More than 3,500 COVID patients are hospitalized across the state, the most since Jan. 21. The positive testing rate stands at 13.5 percent as of Wednesday, when there were 6,130 newly-reported cases.

At UNC Rex, the ICU is full, and there are more patients than beds, Dr. Linda Butler, the hospital's chief medical officer, said.

Officials from WakeMed and Duke Health echoed her concern, saying hospital beds are filling up and wait times are long.

"Our staff is working harder and our wait times are longer than they’ve ever been,” shared Dr. Timothy Plonk, emergency medical director at Duke Raleigh Hospital. “It’s creating a great deal of stress and frustration … people are having to wait longer than they ever thought they’d have to wait for healthcare in this country.”

snake oil chatter actually seemed to fall when cases fell in the US. ivermectin talk was big in Jan/February but when cases fell everyone forgot about it. it blew up again just this month because cases were back

When cases skyrocketed again, fear was driven into everyone and they needed a solution

I’m guessing the options were a) admit you were wrong and get the vax, and b) don’t admit you’re wrong and find another cure
