Shouldn't be in the medical profession then. Must not have paid any attention when viruses and communicable diseases were taught.

Sadly, it’s not just the anti-vaxx nurses quitting. Spoke with a family member who runs two EDs at local hospitals. He says this is the worst wave yet in terms of hospitalizations here in the Triangle. Technically, nearly all the hospitals here have run out of ICU beds—they may physically have the beds/capacity but don’t have enough staff necessary for patients to be assigned that bed. So they’re clogging up the waiting rooms.

So my partner's cousin got COVID-19 and has been in the hospital since Wednesday. Spread it to his wife and young teen child. Calls from the hospital scared out of his mind, unable to breathe, thinking it was the end. Supposedly, he got up today feeling better. I'm not sure what to believe since these folks twist and lie all the time. Not sure about his wife or kid's symptoms, but anyway, we spoke with his mom, my partner's aunt, to ask her if she will now get vaccinated since she's 75. Her answer was no, her doc told her the vaccine is dangerous and that she will continue to take her chances with COVID-19 since it's just like a flu.

Sigh.

That doctor needs his medical license terminated.

My 75 year old mom was put in the hospital today, COVID pneumonia (she tested positive last Friday Aug 6, as well). Her Oxygen level when I talked to the nurse last was at 84 (below 80 can cause organ failure) pretty sure the flu doesn't normally cause your oxygen levels to drop so substantially. Her doctor also told her she shouldn't get the vaccine, but only due to the various medical issues my mom has, the main one being allergic to a lot of medications. He changed his tune this week after my mom talked to him mid week. So recap, many in my family have contracted COVID, about half are vaccinated, including myself. Lost 1 brother at the end of June to COVID, my only brother left is currently in the ICU in critical condition on a ventilator, incubated, under a sedative. (he was stable last night however, which is a plus).. and today my mom was admitted.

The point is, I don't want anyone to go thru what my family and myself have been going thru these past couple months. I don't wish that on anybody, not even my worst enemy. Mask up, get the vaccine! OR take a long look at your kids, your wife, brother, sister, mom, dad, and be prepared for them to be gone and/or pray they make it thru it because this virus doesn't care about who you are, where you come from, how rich/poor you are, your political affiliation, etc.. it's coming for those that keep making the wrong choices.


edit: some spelling, and realized this last Friday was the 13th, so I added the date as it was the 6th myself and my mom where tested COVID positive.

Or the woman is just lying to exit the conversation.

Yeah, I think she's lying to have an exit, but we can't confirm one way or the other. Her daughter is on FB posting anti-vax, anti-mask propaganda and just recently attended a big birthday get-together for her son's friend. Nothing about her brother and his family and she shares everything, so yeah.

Can't do much except talk, vent about how weird this all is and hope the message is received at some point by the hard-headed folks.

I have a strong hunch that "doctor" is a social media personality (with no actual medical qualifications) or some sham doc like Mercola or Rand Paul, and is not her actual personal physician.

Sadly, yep, we're burning our healthcare workers out. And money alone couldn't fix it even if we were willing to just throw bunches of it at them in hazard pay. I think once we get through this (because I think the majority of them feel obligated to work their asses off), we're going to see a LOT of them change out of the health care market. Granted we're seeing that almost across the board, but I don't think we haven't even really begun to see how much this is going to impact our health care employment, and I think we're going to struggle to replace them.

The free vaccines don't make the hospitals as much money as a sick patient , DeathSentence is just looking out for his donors

So they won't take the vaccine because its a only Emergency certified, but so are these treatments. Hypocrites.

From the global covidiot files—a Welshman’s entire anti-vaxx family back home in Portugal dies in 1 week. Damn.


A Cardiff, Wales resident, whose mother, father, and brother died of COVID-19 within one week of each other, is now urging the public to get vaccinated against the virus. The instance, tragically, is far from isolated, as COVID-19 patients and their families are increasingly expressing their regret over not getting vaccinated—meanwhile, experts warn that "vaccine hesitancy" is a pressing issue to be grappled with in the fight against the virus.

Holy hell my friend... this is just one thing after another. You shouldn't have to bear this.

Is there anything I can do? Where are you at? I know it's in Europe but I don't know where. PM me if I can help with anything, Hotel room, food, whatever you need right now. Or if you just need to talk, I can't get away but you can call me.

Perhaps the "herd immunity" every idiot keeps saying is the solution to the pandemic actually might be onto something. Herd immunity seems to be working its way through the stupid.

Seems there are politicians even further 'out there' than US Republicans



Wanniarachchi was in intensive care in January after contracting the virus despite publicly consuming and endorsing a “magic potion” against COVID-19 made by a sorcerer.


She also poured a pot of “blessed” water into a river in November after a self-styled “godman” told her it would end the pandemic in the island nation of 21 million people.

Thank you, but I live in the US. I appreciate the offer, but don't worry, I have tons of support here from many sources.

A week ago when our case counts in OR were in the 1500-2000 range the major healthcare providers started sounding the alarms that at current trends we'd be 500 ICU beds short by Labor Day. Well today we dropped nearly 3,000 cases. And schools don't start for another week or two. Less than 2% of our case counts are vaccinated people. Zero in the ICU's are.

Again...this is an epidemic of the unvaccinated at this point. I'm just bracing for Portland Public Schools to brake check in person return to schools in September.

My co-worker's sister is riding the crazy train. An anti-masker, anti-vaxxer, COVID denier, she just spend four days on pure oxygen and got intubated this morning. If she manages to survive, brain damage is almost certain as her oxygen saturation dropped into the fifties at one point. Her husband also has COVID but isn't hospitalized, yet. My co-worker gets to deal with the emotional rollercoaster, anger, and fear.

I fucking hate this timeline. Can we just switch over to one where retarded people cannot make choices for others?
