Lol if you haven't worked in the er and had a patient code walking in, during triage, or brought in by vehicle and either coding or overdosed. Or just dropped off at the door and left to loving die. Hell my one buddy did CPR on a patient whose wife brought him in by car and directed her to the bulance bay while performing CPR in a small sedan over the passenger seat. He's also 6 foot 2 and I still don't understand how he did it

the ssi data for the last week are worrying because they don’t make any sense. pandemics don’t grow in this fits and starts way during the exponential phase. there’s something wrong with the data collection and I assume the hubbub coming out about hospitalization data validity means we’ll probably see forced methodological changes over the next week or two.

Weasling Weasel posted:https://twitter.com/miamalan/status/1476535918781734912 The statistic used seems really weird: "The proportion of hospitalised individuals aged <20 years who had severe disease was 22.5% (69/306), 23.0% (37/161) and 20.4% (172/844) in the three waves. " Like it specifically being hospitalized patients feels weird. Like what does that statistic intuitively mean? Is there a world where 100% of patients hospitalized with covid are not severe? why are they hospitalized at all then? Is it a with/of thing where they are just random kids in the hospital getting covid incidentally and the stat is "well if you are sick enough to be in the hospital you have about a 1/5th chance of falling severely ill if you get covid". Or is it like, hospitalized of covid and the hospitals like to keep around 80% of the beds open for less critical but still bad cases and it's just a policy thing?

Judakel posted:You're right. I misremembered one of their countless errors. I do have some clue what I am talking about with regards to handling covid, though. After all, China is a success. Do you actually believe this? Where are you located globally? Because regionally it doesn't seem like China even believes China is a success. There's a reason Xi has clamped down on everything, and it's not because he's being celebrated at home. Chinese growth has sunk into the danger zone, the real estate market has begin it's collapse (which was the middle to high income driver) and the continued lockdowns are not because Xi loves his people but because he can't admit that the chinese vaccines suck and he needs to go elsewhere to protect people. Like I get it we all hate capitalism but this is really stupid fellatio we're giving to china. To be clear, they absolutely are a success if your goal is lowest possible pandemic deaths. And I think that's an admiral goal generally. But that only works as lowest possible suffering/total deaths if you include massive financial support, which China has largely not seen.

The only reason Certain Individuals would like Others to shut the gently caress up about China is because China proves that a better world is possible for all the “nothing can be done to prevent mass death” crowd. Very interesting to see how this crowd has pivoted to a lot of the same lines regurgitated by MAGA swine, including… “People in the hospital are there incidentally.” “Cases don’t matter. Where are the deaths?? Where are the hospitalizations??” “How old were they?? What are their comorbidities?? Did they get a booster??” (in response to any post about vaccinated people dying. “COVID is now just a bad flu to the vaccinated!” Nevermind the constant dehumanization of the unvaccinated, thousands of whom are dying daily. Our hospital system is on the brink of collapse and our government has abdicated all responsibility for managing this pandemic as it actively encourages businesses to throw people into the meat grinder, but yes let’s focus on how AWFUL and AUTHORITARIAN China’s response has been. It’s stomach churning how sociopathic some posts here are. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Their response to mass infection was to tell its’ citizens they’d better brace for a Winter of Death. Their response to over 400k cases in a single day was to reduce the quarantine requirement—a decision some itt defended! And many in this thread poo poo on the most basic and bare bones poo poo we could be doing right now. I had to argue, alone, that the CDC’s mask guidance in May was a loving stupid decision and a monumental disaster. I’ve seen people argue against the use of and distribution of high quality masks. I don’t wanna hear anyone that argues for this poo poo infantilize anyone about “Lockdown Fantasies,” because there are many basic things perfectly in the realm of possibilities we could be doing that others have dismissed out of hand as not just unrealistic but undesirable because vaccines solved everything, it’s the unvaccinated “doing the dying.”

The enhanced unemployment program was actually incredibly fantastic, because Congress passed it really fast, had a “what could a banana cost, Michael” moment and didn’t realize that half of the country makes less than $600 a week. It was ended way too quickly, obviously. But in the first wave the US had some of the most aggressive financial support of any country. Poverty went down. $800 billion (~2600 per capita) was given in unemployment benefits in 2020 alone.

It was obvious ludicurous to claim that Covid was similar to flu in outcome in March 2020 pre-vaccinations, it's not when you're looking at Omicron infecetions in triple-vaccinated individuals. This doesn't make the Chuds right in retrospect at a time where Covid was killing 1 in 100 people it affected. Until we know the full ramifications of long covid, it will still be siding with the chuds to indicate that covid is similar in any way to the flu. virtualboyCOLOR fucked around with this message at 16:22 on Dec 30, 2021 |

The US itself dropped down to sub 9,000 cases a day after heights of 260,000 cases a day. What the US did to do that never seems to get investigated, as it didn't happen due to any apparent policy. People generally blame it on the weather of the summer if anything. Which is weird, since if climate is a bigger factor than anything else then what countries do bad or well would seemly just be more about the luck of climate than government policy.

To be clear, I completely agree with this. If every country had done the sound thing and locked down harshly at the beginning of the pandemic (feb 2020 at the latest) with the goal of zero covid we'd all be better off. But that's a fantasy at this point as is China's zero covid policy -- China claims they've had four deaths since april of 2020 and that's so obviously bullshit I don't even know what to say to anyone who actually believes it.
