But we are not. ~40% of the poppy has said screw you and your restrictions. We are doing what we want.And the rest of us are paying the price.I have no issues with putting those folks at the end of the care line.
https://crooksandliars.com/2020/12/ohio-republicans-try-impeach-mike-dewineOhio Republicans Trying To Impeach Republican Governor Mike DeWine Over COVID-19 MeasuresHow about we re-name the GOP to GRP - Grim Reaper Party. Only in Amurica could we have elected politicians openly advocating killing American citizens.
I completely reject that philosophy. Right now, the virus is everywhere I caught it because we had two house fires in one night and I was mingling with civilians and other firefighters without a surgical mask for the only time in months. Or I caught it at the dentist 36 hours later. This isn't some morality test.
wThat's a reckless insinuation, Fahrenheit, and I don't even know your dentist. Every dentist I've spoken with is going above and beyond all reasonable precautions to keep patients and staff as safe as is humanely possible. Just to be clear, I feel the safest, of anywhere, in my office caring for my patients, hey?
It's getting worse ... and it's going to get still worse.https://www.nytimes.com/live/2020/12/02/world/covid-19-coronavirus#any-thinking-person-has-to-be-worried-us-hospitals-are-treating-100226-covid-patientsThe number of Covid-19 patients in American hospitals has surpassed 100,000 for the first time, nearly double the number from spring during the coronavirus’s deadly first wave, according to the Covid Tracking Project.The relentless rise in hospitalizations follows a rapid climb in new cases, which now number more than one million every week. And deaths, a so-called lagging indicator that tends to spike after a rise in hospitalizations, have also been rising fast. They have now passed 270,000 in the U.S.The numbers paint a sobering picture of what the next few weeks may look like, experts said. Hospitals in some places are nearing capacity, and if states are unable to curb the surge of new cases, those systems could soon become overwhelmed, as New York was in the spring.
If we have a "Thanksgiving surge" you are going to see those number of cases start going up this weekend.
Less thank 1k off from a new record of cases today. New record for deaths today though
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/30438683/nba-says-48-positive-covid-19-initial-re-entry-testingThis is pretty crazy, 9% of NBA players are currently COVID positive.Having 10% positivity rates for people that have serious exposure or COVID symptoms is one thing.A 10% positivity rate for a random compulsory screening is another. Can that even be accurate?
As Skatastrophy hints, after the very successful bubble, maybe the players did more socializing than was advisable. Perhaps it was a 'cabin fever' thing, maybe a sense of invincibility (not uncommon for young, elite athletes), but that could lead to a surge of cases after their bubble. By analogy - like 'binge eating' after weeks on a strict diet.
People like Tucker Carlson are now using this as fuel for a "conspiracy" fire.
The article in Fox News by Carlson today with the title 'Covid is a Global Fraud' made my head hurt. So many confusing contradictions. I noticed the article is a lot harder to find now. Some things:First I would like to point out Fox told us as late as March by their own anchors that Covid was a fraud. Now onto article:Saying it was in the US well over a year agoThen saying it is the Democrats fault as the impeachment was goingThen saying that these samples were released purposely after the electionThen saying CDC hiding the informationThen saying WHO hiding information knowing the virus was going to be a problem for the USThen saying Twitter in cahoots with CDC and WHOGoing on how people make fun of Church going peopleMy lord. That is one confusing conspiracy.
For those keeping track, we have now removed the equivalent of Toledo from the US population.
