https://dfw.cbslocal.com/2021/08/06/texas-emergency-room-forced-temporarily-close-critical-covid-surge/Saw this shared by a friend. ER's closing because of no beds. One hospital is closing its ER until the end of August as it can't keep up with COVID cases. Totally normal. Not a problem at all. Yet, as I understand it, the TX governor has forbid any mask mandates.
Covid will not be eradicated, whether one human being or the entire world is vaccinated. Everyone will have to learn to live and co-exist with it continually amongst us. Becomes a lot simpler to do so when politics are taken out of the equation, hey?
There is no amount of death and/or suffering sufficient to change certain 'values'. Pandemic? need to live with it. Gun violence? can't change anything so why try. Refugees? F them. Immigrants? Eeewwwww, they bring a disease that we're already the worst in the world in handling. Minimum wage/poor? Need to work harder.As long as others are suffering or dying we should just learn to live with it.
Nobody needs to be chanting USA USA about the pandemic, but can we stop with this. Per capita, the US severe numbers are behind places like the UK, Belgium, Italy, and basically in line with places like France, Switzerland, Spain and others.But exaggeration aside, he's not totally wrong, COVID isn't gonna get eradicated even if moron anti-vaxxers didn't exist
We could have eradicated it in the US.
But exaggeration aside, he's not totally wrong, COVID isn't gonna get eradicated even if moron anti-vaxxers didn't exist
china could have and still could be more help.
What are you basing this upon?
Fun fact - polio has a really high asymptotic rate and is about as contagious as covid (depending on the estimate of delta maybe a little less so).
Breaking: Gov. Greg Abbott announces Texas will be seeking out-of-state health care personnel to help with the latest surge, and he is asking hospitals to voluntarily postpone elective medical procedures.

More than open travel, more than full stadiums, more than the end of mask mandates......I can't WAIT for "follow the science" and "wear a mask!" as everyday phrases to be historical anecdotes like "Tiger Blood" and "Rock the Vote". Even if I don't disagree with the sentiment, their omnipresence in social media bios and shrieks from truly hysterical people are exhausting.
Abbott: Begs rest of nation to send healthcare workers to bail them out of a self created medical emergency. Texas Medical Care facilities: Our children's hospitals are running out of beds because of COVID.Also Abbott: Signs executive order banning schools from instituting mask mandates.
I remember when folks would state last year's lockdowns were so bad because it prevented those in need from getting access to healthcare or procedures.Now there are folks in need unable to receive care because infected folks are using all the healthcare resources. Of course, those infected are nearly all unvaccinated. So, why no stink being made? Especially in the light that nearly all hospitalizations would be unnecessary if they just got the vaccine.
