The relentless media messaging has finally made it sink in for me: the government has decided that millions of Americans need to die in order for number to go up, and they’re just going to gaslight us into thinking it’s not only an acceptable decision but the only option. No one is on our side, no one is coming to help us.

This is all really cool. I’m so glad all of this is happening, I’m not turning into the Joker at all!

Welp my wife's grandpa is undergoing surgery for a bunch of things wrong with his bladder and also he can't walk because of a badly infected knee and who boy am I hoping he pulls through and also retains the desire and will to live for a few months so we have time to figure out how things will work that don't end up with just my wife being super exposed to COVID from multiple people since they live in a town that's maybe 1/3 vaxxed and while her immediate family is vaxxed they are very open Biden.

Also look forward to getting in a fight about not taking the baby with her because I know that once she gets there a bunch of unplanned people will show up, either maskless or in cloth masks at best, and want to hold her and she will fold immediately and hand her over rather than disappoint some random cousin.

News: He's out of surgery and stable, though who knows how long that'll last. However, he also has COVID again. He had it once already and got vaxxed this spring. So, uh, I imagine things could change quickly in this situation.

yeah when greg abbott got covid he revealed he had gotten his third shot ages before any authorities had recommended anyone get them. the restrictions on more shots are being laxly enforced on purpose so that people "in the know" can protect themselves without "causing a panic" among everyone else

In Covid ICUs, doctors see a surge in critically ill pregnant women

As the delta variant drives a surge in hospitalizations across the South, doctors say they’re seeing an unprecedented number of pregnant women critically ill with Covid-19.

"None of us has ever seen this magnitude of really, really sick women at one time," said Dr. Akila Subramaniam, an associate professor at the University of Alabama’s Birmingham Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine. Subramaniam and her colleagues estimate a tripling — or even quadrupling — of pregnant patients hospitalized with Covid.
...
"Their deterioration is quicker," said Dr. Todd Rice, director of Vanderbilt's medical intensive care unit. "They go faster from needing a little bit of oxygen to holy s---, they need a lot of support."

not good!

another part of florida is loving with their water because of o2 shortages lol

quote:

TAMPA, Fla. — Tampa Bay Water operators advise the quality of drinking water will be OK after changing its treatment process because of a shortage of liquid oxygen.

The temporary adjustment, set to go into effect Thursday, Aug. 26, applies to people living in southern Hillsborough County, according to a news release. The utility says the change is necessary at its Lithia Hydrogen Sulfide Removal Facility given fewer deliveries of liquid oxygen, which is used in the water treatment process, and its use for hospitals to treat COVID patients.

Officials in Central Florida last week told residents to immediately conserve water given the significant rise of COVID-related hospitalizations and the demand for liquid oxygen in medical settings.

Utility workers will use sodium hypochlorite, otherwise known as bleach, to treat the water — rather than use liquid oxygen — and remove hydrogen sulfide. People who are sensitive to taste and odor changes might notice a difference, the utility says, but the water otherwise will meet or be better than local, state and federal standards.

The thought is that the third shot might give lasting immunity, but it'll take a while to generate antibodies. Pfizer's 3rd shot showed good antibodies against Delta after a month. Whether or not the antibodies increase/decrease/maintain longer than that, they're still studying.

No one knows, honestly. Letting your immune system build up protection without additional artificial pushes is probably a good idea.

Artificial pushes? But my body is the one producing the antibodies, the mRNA just creates the spike protein.

I just posted in the doomsday thread that selling the property is one weird trick to evict tenants and a lot of landlords are selling to family members to get rid of tenants then having the family sell it back so they can keep renting it out with new tenants. Just had a hallway conversation with a coworker who told me that's what their sister just did to get rid of 'deadbeats'.
