I wonder how many more crying articles I will have to read this week about cops in Florida dying of COV19, that also never seem to mention their vaccination status.

the thing I hate most about the “learn to live with it” crowd is that it is them quite literally telling you to never even hope for anything better. it is equally applicable to every problem humanity has ever faced and is the most doomer depressed logic I can imagine. nothing can ever get better. no problems can ever be solved. all we can do is stop caring and become cold nihilists immune to pathetic human emotions. we are cogs who spend money and if we die then no one will care.

this is the majority opinion of our government and our society.

a relative's aorta burst last night. he had to have some crazy surgery to try to save his life and is currently on a vent in a coma. he also tested positive for covid. apparently he had it a month ago, so not sure if he just never got over it, or it came back or is just shedding still or what the deal is.

how likely is it that the covid was a factor in his aorta exploding? i heard reports of vascular damage a while back but I feel like I haven't seen anything about it recently.

covid doesn't cause any vascular damage because if it did we might have to attribute these enormous numbers of excess deaths this year to it

On top of this loss, Steadman had to spend $800 for a company to clean the bedroom, Steadman said.

“They were in there all of 15 minutes. They cut the part of the mattress that had the waste on it,” said Steadman.

She also had to pay to replace some bedroom furniture.

hypoxia fucks up your blood and heart and covid causes hypoxia. it’s not at all unlikely that covid played a major role in worsening an underlying heart condition.

I’m sorry about your relative, but look on the bright side, a lot of your relatives who are going to die over the next year are still alive right now.

One place interviewed said earlier the year it was like 4 new appointments each day but now it's up to 8 appointments.

quote:

At West Side Crematory in Winter Garden, they’re overwhelmed with the remains of people that need to be cremated.

There’s an influx of bodies like they’ve never seen, worse than the first wave of COVID-19. The area where bodies are stored prior to being cremated is stacked to the ceiling. The staff is working day and night to honor the dead.

WESH 2 called 20 funeral homes and crematories and many were too busy to be part of our story. Some were too busy to even talk on the phone. One funeral director said that in a 30-minute period where he talked to his partner, four new cases came in.

Mike Marchetti, the area manager for Newcomer Funeral Homes, says as much as they don’t want to, sometimes they have to delay meetings with families and delay funerals because they only have so much staff.

Lol my mom told me today that when she was dealing with covid at home last year she had a vein in her head either burst or push a clot through - terrible worsening headache for a few hours, then she felt a pop in her scalp (not in her brain she was v specific) and the pain went away. So I wouldn't be surprised

She has RA and is very immune compromised so this delta poo poo has been stressful. I'm the doom miner of the family so thankfully she got her booster last week. She's still dealing with taste/smell loss and trouble swallowing.

Oh and my sister just found out what she thought was RSV was a breakthrough covid case so that's all very comforting news. Thank gently caress and CSPAM I got my booster yesterday, even if I feel like dogshit today

quote:

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — In January 2020, people weren't nearly as familiar with COVID-19 as they are now, more than a year and a half into the pandemic.

But the deadly coronavirus was already present in the wider Kansas City-area as early as January 2020.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment reported a person in Leavenworth County died from COVID-19 on Jan. 9, 2020. It's the earliest COVID-19-related death on record in the U.S.

A KDHE spokesperson said local officials made the call to reclassify the death as a COVID-19 fatality because the person's symptoms were similar to those other COVID-19 patients experienced prior to death.
...
Another question being raised: Are COVID-19 deaths underreported?

"COVID-19 was probably in the United States before December, and it probably did take lives. I think overall, the COVID-19 deaths are underreported," said Dr. Steven Stites, chief medical officer of the University of Kansas Health System.

the amount of death we are going to see in the next few months is truly unfathomable and id imagine the grief and guilt from people who stubbornly and arrogantly insisted that this path was the only one is going to cause a lot of psychotic breakdowns.

the future holds nothing but misery and death in an increasingly chaotic failure of society. any goals or plans you may have had are pointless and impossible.

you will either witness your loved ones die or they will see you die, in pain and agony. by witness I mean that you’ll hear about it from a disinterested person over zoom because all the dying will be in a crowded corridor or former conference room in a hospital staffed by nursing students and janitors.

good thing we didn’t do anything drastic though. can you imagine the psychological impact of closing schools or another shutdown?
