Omicron "variant of concern"
- Thread starter outside shooter
- Start date
No question they blew that one. They relaxed everything too soon, didn't (couldn't) anticipate Delta, and never imagined the magnitude of the moron problem.
Are you not able to see the video clip?
here is the text of what he said. And he’s not the only one.
“One last thing, it's really important is we're not in a position where we think that any virus, including the delta virus, which is much more transmissible and more deadly in terms of non unvaccinated people. The via the the the various shots that people are getting now cover that there you're okay, you're not gonna you're not gonna get covid if you have these vaccinations.”

Smart has nothing to do with getting the vaccine. Those nurses have more experience with Covid than you and you have no business questioning their intelligence.
Edit: I am sure Ben Carson is an idiot in your book. Today he said regular flu is more dangerous than Omicron.
Heard it in interview tonite on my vehicle radio. You can laugh it was Fox interview. Don’t remember who the interview was with.
Do you really think that anything / outcome of delta and now Omicron would be different or not happened had it been handled differently?

Would they want to treat a patient stupid enough to not believe that natural immunity exists?
All the ones I know want to treat patients that do everything they can to help themselves, including getting the jab. Not depending on just natural immunity.
Huh? What country is that? Not the USA. 61%, as of today. Much lower in the dumb places. Lots of those 61% need a booster too.
My circle is plenty big, especially among the medical field.
Lots of asymptomatic infection. Smart. And stats on PARTIAL vaccination are pretty much worthless. If you got one jab 9 months ago and never got the second, you're not vaccinated.

Hopefully not much happens, right? Hopefully it is part of the final catalyst of hers immunity and then we’re donezo.

Was it 70% before they opened up to 5-11? We’ll not get good numbers in that group because many think it’s unnecessary (I’m one of them for that age).

In other words, they're incompetent? Hard to explain it as a moron problem when you look at what's happening across Europe, Israel, etc.
was he talking in totality or among certain age groups? He probably has a young bias since he was a pediatric surgeon iirc
I really don't honestly and I'm pretty liberal, just got high a moment ago, true. But I think it's all these wackos making the damn thing political that is dragging it on, not doing what was working until they got tired of it and said F it, all is well. Pigs are driving it. Had to go to the Dr. the other day and on the way home saw a line of cars around a Taco Bell and one of them hanging ass out on a very busy street. I mean, wtf, what is wrong with these people that you would want f'n Taco Bell so bad to wait in that and risk causing a traffic accident to feed you fatass self. I found it disgusting. shit if that is the new normal, I might as well move to Kentucky, it is prettier and no more gauche than that what I saw here

Chances are he's suffering from untreated neurosyphilis judging from his comments. At this point, Covid's the last of his concerns.
I think it might have been a comment made during a discussion about young kids and the vaccine.
After my booster I felt like I had an ear infection coming on so I visited my NP. Her office has been so overrun with walk ins that they are temporarily requiring appointments. She told me during the visit they are testing for flu again and almost all the testing coming back is Flu Type A not Covid.
Daily occurrence at the Starbucks on south Walnut St. Block the entire right lane of the thoroughfare, and back up on the left hand turn lane waiting to get in. The McM's of the world are fvcking nutz.
Regarding the nursing shortage, ICU patient to nurse ratio is normally 1:1 or 2:1 depending on severity. Many hospitals have gone to 3 patients per nurse to try and free up more nurses. Standard hospital care is 5 patients per nurse.
In Indiana there are 755 patients in ICU for COVID according to the dashboard (2067 total capacity times 36.5% filled with COVID). That means even if the hospitals all can use 1 nurse for 3 ICU patients, 100 extra nurses are in use in ICU than would be happening without COVID. 226 extra nurses if they were using the 1 nurse per two patients. Simply put COVID ICU care alone presents a challenge.
And everyone points to the mandate, yet so many more quit because of stress/burnout. The same people who hate the mandate defend with their last breath the decision by people not to get vaccinated, which leads to more ICU cases and more nurses and more burnout. How do you not see the incongruity of “people not getting vaccinated are right” and “it is the stupid mandate causing us to be short”.

When you tell experienced nurses they aren’t needed because they aren’t a RN BS…others pay the consequences. Like higher education….too many resources wasted
South side, I can only imagine what it might be like in town, i.e., not good
I bring out the best in McMurtry.Frustrated by the competition, huh?
He keeps saying he won't respond to my posts but, well, he still does.
Testing asymptomatics is “illogical”. You could enter the testing center negative, get infected by the guy doing the test, and your result would say “Negative” but you’ll be spreading the bug until you next test… Then, how often do you test? Once a month, once a week, once every 10 minutes? Stupid…If you do test “positive” you’ve been spreading the bug for the last 2-10 days anyways, so putting you in quarantine at that point doesn’t do a whole lot to change the infection rate….
Which makes the testing portion of the vaccine mandate mean nothing.
…but, then, govt programs are all about the paper work— making it look like you’re doing something and documenting it—, Nothing to do with actual results or effectiveness.
I wonder why the test passenger planes. A Boeing can pass a test and have the part fail as it is leaving the hanger.
In places with cramped spaces, like the meat production plants hammered early in the pandemic, testing makes a hell of a lot of sense. Since it takes a couple days to be infectious, testing every 48 hours would produce meaningful protection.
Of course the meat industry has never shown the slightest care for it's employees. Which only places it marginally below 90% of American business.
China's COVID-19 cases edge higher as Xian steps up curbs
China's Xian tightened curbs on travel within the city on Monday as it started a new round of testing on the fifth day of a lockdown of its 13 million people.
An interesting story on how the WHO and CDC got the spread of Sars-cov-2 so wrong.
www.wired.com
Short story, scientists had worked a long time on determining if diseases were aerosolized. They had determined that many were up to 100 microns. Another scientist later studied tuberculosis. Tuberculosis must get deep into the lungs to spread and can only do that at sizes less than 5 microns. Suddenly medicine stuck on that 5 micron size, it was applied to all diseases.
So in 2020 the medical community refused to accept that Sars-cov-2 was aerosolized. They refused to push masks because the particle was too big.
The 60-Year-Old Scientific Screwup That Helped Covid Kill
All pandemic long, scientists brawled over how the virus spreads. Droplets! No, aerosols! At the heart of the fight was a teensy error with huge consequences.
