Are the required weekly tests still the 'swab thru your nose so deep it comes out your rear end in a top hat' tests or are they less unpleasant now?

No, that only lasted a couple months, most of the RT-PCR tests just require a little swirl around each nostril

Out of curiosity, what is the medical protocol for people admitted to ICUs who don't get put on ventilators? Presumably oxygen at some point, what else?

"The choice of a vaccination is a personal one," I say as every state in the country has barred unvaccinated children from schools for a century

Yeah most of the Chud argument are dumb because the the topic of mandatory vaccination was already decided in courts when there was similar whining 100 years ago.

with scotus as it is, literally any issue at all that winds up before them will be decided in such a way that it causes the most harm to the most people possible and helps rich people take advantage of that suffering. this will be no different

Literally every single person arguing that vaccination is a personal choice knows that you have to vaccinate kids to put them in school, you have to have proof of vaccination to board a cruise ship or fly overseas, you have to be vaccinated to work in a clinical setting.

It's all completely disingenuous Dinesh D'Souza trolling and there's no point arguing against it.

C-SPAM self congratulation aside I looked at the D&D covid thread a week ago and the stuff people were posting was not at all different from this thread (people were talking about buying elastomeric respirators to be prepared for everything imminently going to poo poo), which surprised me because the last time I had looked a few months ago the D&D thread was much more optimistic.

Delta is super bad in a way nobody can deny so I think the toxic optimists are taking a break and the people with like, kids in schools or who are high risk and going insane from gaslighting about everything being normal are guiding the thread at the moment

Basically I wouldn't be surprised if more COVID discussion spaces online saw this pattern as the culture at large either moves on from the subject entirely or doubles down like someone who suddenly realizes that like 80% of this country want them dead

I got married in Cancun last week and my friend's wife tested positive the day after on the get back into the US test. So far only one other person got infected as everyone* was vaccinated. Everyone managed to get back into the US though. That couple, having two young kids, were not about to stick around in Mexico for her to get hosed up so they hopped on a plane to Tijuana, drove across the border, hopped on another flight home. Bing bong so ez. The next day she was hosed up enough and had to go to the hospital. Got on supplemental oxygen and a few days later was released because she is young enough and was showing improvement. What a fuckin' trip and of course the entire thing overshadowed what was otherwise a really great trip.




*Said friend's wife lied about getting vaccinated to everyone. Her husband, her mother, and her best friend all assumed she was vaccinated but she apparently forged the card. Just lol. After she tested negative from COVID this past week and recovered her husband watched the jab for proof this time.

What I'm asking is how much do full ICUs actually impact covid deaths. Surely there's fluids and oxygen and various other stuff right, there's got to be some treatment going on in the ICU , but I don't know what it is short of ventilation

Basically what can people do at home if their hospitals are full ?

My sister is getting married this year and naturally demanded a family super-spreader event with 35 people. Some of her friends are from Sunbelt states like TX and aren't vaccinated.

Nothing "cures" or even really "treats" stuff in the ICU, w the exception of antibiotics. It's all about supporting the failing organ systems in the hopes that the body can heal itself.

Nothing you can do at home if you need a hospital for covid

Literally nobody cares. The supreme court always just makes up ex post facto justifications for their decisions. Right now americans don't like mandatory vaccinations so if it goes to SCOTUS anything could happen. Everyone has forgotten why we accepted mandatory vaccinations in the first place.

story from my icu nurse cousin. Patient is a early 40’s nurse and had first dose of mRNA vaccine. Doing bad. Last words patient writes on the dry erase board they gave her to communicate is “intubate.”


This happened last night so she doesn’t know if the patient will recover but it has her all sorts of hosed up.

whew that was close. your wedding only infected one person that you know of plus however many people they managed to infect on two flights in two different countries. Which is probably only like, a few dozen or something. Probably only a few deaths. Well done, that could have been bad. And it's totally their fault because they said they were vaccinated and not at all your fault for having a wedding in cancun during a deadly pandemic.
