I'm not too familiar with biology so like... how? How can you have oxygen deprivation significant enough to damage your brain permanently but not have any outward signs that doctors notice? Like how can you be brain damaged but not cause outward symptoms that would necessitate a trip to the hospital or be measurable?

CINCINNATI —

New indicators that hospitals are under stress have started to appear as the University of Cincinnati Medical Center was forced to go on diversion Wednesday.

UC Medical Center sent out a note “asking squads to divert except for traumas, strokes and burns.”

“It means our hospitals are filling up. We have over 350 COVID patients in the region,” said the Health Collaborative’s Kate Schroder. “It is not healthy for our region to have hospitals on diversion.”

The Health Collaborative is reporting that 1 in 9 people hospitalized in the region has COVID-19 and one in four of those in the ICU are there because of COVID-19.

“Anything that creates a mass influx of patients, anything that causes a stress on the system could cause you to use diversion as an opportunity to decompress,” said St. Elizabeth Hospital Dr. James Horn.

Horn said hospitals work to keep the doors of their hospital open to everyone. Diversion is something they try to avoid.

“It’s really a last resort. It’s an attempt to decompress the system,” Horn said.

UC was able to make some capacity and cancelled the diversion Wednesday night.

Schroder said the vast number of the hospitalizations are from those who have not been vaccinated.

“It is critical as a community, that we continue to increase our vaccinations because we have the ability to reduce these hospitalizations,” Schroder said.

Hey, you know what clears COVID right up? Carfentanyl. Why do horse drugs when you can do elephant drugs?

When people who have tested positive say they've been feeling 'off', what does that mean exactly? I've been feeling a bit off since this afternoon and I'm wondering if this is just normal exhaustion or possibly I'm getting sick. It's really hard to tell because I regularly get headaches but I started getting really tired a little bit ago and something feels kinda weird about my vision. I overcame the Pfizer shot effects on Sunday so I doubt they'd be making a comeback now?

this person is a dumbass, liberals love cops. sure they'll be like 'oh no, another summary execution of a child, someone should investigate!', but the thought of losing their monopoly on violence for the protection of property will prevent anything else from happening.

one of the reasons that asphyxiating gasses are so dangerous is that the human body doesn’t have a response to a lack of oxygen. you have a strong sensation of needing to breathe because you have a buildup of CO2. that’s why you have tons of reports of people walking into hospitals with O2 stats in the 40s when they probably should be unconscious.

not having enough oxygen causes immediate severe problem that are often permanent
