Embarrassing. Our poor doctors and nurses.

DeathSantis sucks so bad. What a disaster. Florida is a top 5 covid country in the world.
 

The Food and Drug Administration issued full authorization Monday for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. Soon, millions of Americans will face a confusing, difficult task: How in the heck do you pronounce Comirnaty?
That's the brand name for the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.

From a marketing standpoint, Comirnaty is the dumbest ****ing thing they could have up with. Covac would have been a million times better.
 
This is why we can’t have nice things. This is a Republican representative from Texas giving just god awful medical advice. Over 1,800 Americans died from covid just yesterday.

“bUt AfGhAnIsTaN!”

Didn’t even watch the video, but the chyron at the bottom of the screen tells me enough about the audience.

Agreed.
Horrible name

Not sure how I feel about conflating COVID and Afghanistan. Considering the resources of the USA, we should be able to walk and chew gum. Unfortunately it seems we can’t walk OR chew gum.

I don’t defend the Afghanistan exit, I hope there are lessons to be had. Hopefully, we don’t continue to invade countries like Afghanistan and try to nation build.

What I find appalling are those feigning outrage over the… 13 dead Americans and 200 dead Afghanis; as if they’ve never heard such a loss of life. We need to keep this in perspective. We are losing thousands of Americans everyday and it’s completely unnecessary. Solving that should be America’s top priority. Sadly, republicans don’t want to. The longer they prolong the pandemic and the more people they can kill off, the better they think it’ll be for them politically for the midterms and 2024.
 
Sadly, I think a big motivator is the longer republicans can keep the pandemic going the better they think it’ll be politically for them. “See! Biden promised to end covid! He failed!”

Why else would red state governors ban businesses from mandating masks? Threaten to defund schools for masks? Spread disinformation and mock doctors? They’re actively working to make covid worse!

I think we need to recognize their strategy early because I don’t see many red state governors changing course.

This is why we need vaccine mandates. Staying unvaccinated and refusing to wear masks isn't just a personal choice that affects you, it affects all of society.

Do you have a right to overwhelm our health care system with a virus that can largely be mitigated via vaccination and **** over cancer patients?

So many here have such a perverse idea of freedom.



Fellow Jazz fans living in Utah, good luck. I hope you don’t need health care over the next few months. This is what unfettered “freedom” has wrought:



This could have been avoided had vaccines and masks been mandated. But… freedom, FDA approval, Murika, horse dewormer, or something.
 

Study: Fully Vaccinated Healthcare Workers Carry 251 Times Viral Load, Pose Threat to Unvaccinated Patients, Co-Workers​


251 times!!!

Yes, but do you understand it?

The study isn't a comparison between vaccinated versus unvaccinated. It is a comparison between variants.

From the study:
Viral loads of breakthrough Delta variant infection cases were 251 times higher than those of cases infected with old strains detected between March-April 2020.

Even your alarmist site has added an addendum to clarify:
the Chau et al. 2021 Lancet preprint is between two different variants of SARS-CoV-2

Those infected with the Delta variant do carry a higher viral load than those who were infected by a different variant. In the case of vaccinated people, the viral load is 251 times higher. In the case of unvaccinated people, the viral load is 1,260 times higher.


Delta is a nasty piece of work but scientific studies have shown that those infected by Delta who were vaccinated carry a fraction of the viral load of those who were not vaccinated when they were infected by Delta.
 
Not true. Talk to a nurse.

Stop spreading misinformation.

Intermountain Healthcare's ICU capacity count is based on its collective system and not one specific hospital, Webb explained. Patients can be "strategically" moved around Intermountain hospitals to keep beds open at certain hospitals, but the current situation means the emergency beds that doctors prefer to see open are now filled.

The situation has complicated medical care, but doesn't mean people are being turned away at the moment.

"Fortunately, right now, we aren't at a position where we're having to triage patients or send them on their own transportation to find a bed for themselves," Webb said. "We're not and don't expect to be in a position where we turn people away. If you need care, we still recommend that you go to the nearest hospital and we have full expectation that we will be able to provide good care there."
 
Respect ya Avery but you're wrong to a big degree.

Meanwhile, Intermountain Healthcare and other health care providers are dealing with another problem: They're struggling to add more ICU beds. Hospitals converted non-ICU beds into ICU beds during the winter to deal with the surge in hospitalizations related to COVID-19. Webb said there's also a shortage of nurses, doctors and other needed employees to care for the increase number of patients.

"We've lost a lot who have actually retired from health care, and we're having a really hard time filling those positions," he said, explaining that many of the retirements are a result of the physical and mental toll of the past 18 months. "That's the reality: We have the physical space, but we don't have the personnel like we did last winter."
