Hospitals Full & Vaccination Sites Empty In USA

For starters, you made it up. That picture doesn't exist. Hospitals are not full. Stop spreading bullshit.

FF

R1 it was just on NBC News - did they make that up?

If they said hospitals are full, yes.

Gaaaaaaaaaa. I'm a troll who needs attention. For my next feat, I'll rim a baboon's ass.

Hospitals nearing full capacity.

if its on the news then you know its true!

My hospital I work in has zero Covid patients today, for the first time since April 2020. My state has high vaccination rates and low community spread of Covid.

The OP troll is starting to squirm.

The more Republicans that die, the greater America will be.

I like how an increase from 1 to 2 is portrayed as an ALARMING 100% INCREASE, a SURGE WE HAVEN'T SEEN SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE PADEMIC. Turn off the news, people, when you hear things portrayed this way. You are not getting news, you are getting Op-Ed drama.

I wish I could understand the joy some people have by spreading misinformation or taking a piece of what is true and twisting it into some kind of huge fabrication. The President mentioned a bit of this today regarding Facebook and how much of the misinformation is coming from 12 specific accounts. What is wrong with people?

1,000 cases an hour is not an increase from 1 to 2

Cedars Sinai had ZERO covid patients as of last week. My friend was in there with a lung infection and his mother was freaking out that he would be near covid patients. The doctors and nurses both confirmed and reconfirmed that they have separate Covid wards, and that they were ALL EMPTY.

Additionally, my friend was in a ward that had previously been a covid ward but which had since been opened up to non-covid patients.

So, one of the largest hospitals in the country, in the middle of Los Angeles, has zero covid patients and has been reducing the number of covid wards ready to accept patients.

I'm sorry but ever since I heard that from my friend and his family, I find all these alarmist reports to be simply hard to take seriously.

How can everyone be so dumb? It's like March 2020. Did we learn nothing?

Let's see... my guess is the cases are not going to go DOWN.

Very few countries even know how many "cases" - infections are happening nowadays. Most vaccinated people are stopped testing for suspected COVID. All the unvaccinated people who are going to have mild infections, are not testing. For all we know, 50% of the population is currently infected with Delta Covid.

I had the Hep B vaccine in the 80s? early 90s? when NY was pushing it on gay guys. 15 years later I had extensive high tech blood work and the Austrian doctor asked me when I had Hep B. I said I never had it, I was vaccinated. He said no I had it. I reinserted. He then looked closely at the blood work ands said - ah ha - in fact I have antibodies produced by the VACCINE as well as antibodies produced by a subsequent real contact with the live virus. Who would even know they can tell such things.

The point is, plenty of people will get contact with subsequent variants of COVID and they will be fine. they will never even know. Yes 1 out of 1,000, or 1 out of 10K, or 1 out of 100K might have symptoms.

Move on people.

At this point in time (3rd week of July), cases in NYS have tripled but we death rates are still low.

Nobody knows yet if that will hold up. Anybody who claims to know is trying to sell you something.

Stop it OP

The news reports from multiple hospital systems and media outlets in Houston say numbers have risen very fast since July 1. I don't think the OP is being alarmist.

Which just means that covid patients will transferred from over=crowded hospitals out of state to LA

The world might blow up tomorrow... nobody knows. Anybody who is in a constant state of spreading fear and concern do not have your best interest at heart. I'm starting to wonder if all of these alarmist posts are part of some type of agenda to keep people afraid.

Blue states where a lot of people are vaccinated are seeing low case numbers. The "full hospitals" scenario is happening in deplorable areas like Bumfuck Georgia and Asswipe Alabama where nobody is vaccinated.

[quote] Central Florida

The Florida Governor Ron De Lunatic says it’s all just “seasonal”…….You know, like Christmas…tis the season lalalala…no need to worry, he has it all under control…( and he could be our next President)

Friend is neurosurgeon here in Austin. Obviously vaxxed. Tested positive yesterday, has 102 temp right now, o2 is 92. His partner is in hospital. Wife is updating me now.

Please talk to your troll farm supervisor about subject/verb agreement and how not to mix singular and plural. kthxbye.

I work at Cedars.

This is not my experience....and was not last week. What you heard from the friend of friend of friend of your friend’s mother is....well not the reality of this physician.

There are Covid cases. And wards. I cannot say how many, but numbers are rapidly increasing.

Hence why a mask order was implemented by LACounty.

I can only tell you what they told the family, r28. Is it maybe a thing at Cedars to lie to worried families to calm them down? Because the family was extremely freaked out by Covid , especially because he had a lung infection (which we now know nearly killed him) - and they were incredibly relieved to hear there were no cases. They group texted all of us the news with multiple exclamation marks.

That is DEFINITELY what they were told, r28, and I believe them before I believe you.

Is there any new consensus about whether fully vaccinated people can spread covid to unvaccinated? My aunt and uncle would like me to visit them in a couple weeks. My aunt is vaxxed but my uncle isn't ( he's only had the first shot). I am fully vaccinated but could I be some sort of " vector" so to speak? I am hearing mixed things online.

[quote] Is there any new consensus about whether fully vaccinated people can spread covid to unvaccinated.

Studies for the earlier variants of Covid are pretty reassuring in regards to non-transmission for (mRNA) vaxxed folks, R30. A recent one looked at outcomes b/t December 2020 and March 2021 and the vaccines seemed to hold and prevent spread.

However, the Delta variant is much more aggressive and seems to be a bit of a game-changer. There aren’t any good studies yet in the US, but an early few coming out of other countries show transmissibility.

We should know soon, though, as the Olympics will act as a case study and/or we observe more cases amplified by transmissibility via the Delta variant.

Only 33% of Mississippians are fully vaccinated. 37% have received at least one dose.

Dismal.

I got my first jab yesterday. Woke up today with a sore arm, but I'm happy. I have waited so long. Feels good to contribute to society. I don't only get the jab for myself, but for others. The goal is herd immunity and that can only happen when enough people say yes to getting vaccinated. Thankfully here in Norway more than 90 % have said yes (so far). For once I'm proud of my country. Though with that said, they are now struggling with people not showing up because most people have summer vacation and the summer vacation is holy to Norwegians. It's typical Norwegian. Smh. They prioritize vaction over getting vaxxed. Just wait until their vacation is over in August. They will come crawling back and there won't be enough vaccines for them. Fucking idiots.

[quote] Covid denier calling a doctor on this forum a liar!

Yes, R35.

We’ve seen (in the US), how powerful beliefs are. During the Trump admin, Covid-Deniers were actually protesting and thwarting medical care for patients (some of whom were not Covid patients); trying to barricade and bully nurses, health-allied professionals and doctors. One episode (a hospital janitor working at Cedars who temps at other facilities) spoke of being bullied in Beverly Hills.

It’s unfortunate. There seems to be a crisis: lack of compassion and beliefs so bizarre they travel in the mental illness lane (“I’ll believe what I hear from the friend of friend’s mother no matter what anyone else says who may have professional-on-the-ground-experience.”)
