we know a nurse in a Western Florida ER tonight. It's bad, very bad. Multi hour waits for breathing difficulties
I wish I did not agree. But I do.
At this point, absent those under 12, and those whose immune systems don’t respond well (and they have my unqualified sympathy and support), it’s a choice. They have chosen to be a threat not only to themselves, but also to those who cannot protect themselves.
I fail to see the difference between this and DUI, with BAC of .30+, which is universally condemned as gobsmackingly bad.
If I were the Benevolent Dictator, hospital beds would be allocated first to those who are not eligible for the vaccine, or who have a medical condition that either prevents their being vaccinated, or limits the efficacy of the vaccine. Remaining beds would be allocated on a first-come, first served basis.
If a defenseless patient comes in, and there are no beds, there’s a lottery for who goes home. If you are eligible for the vaccine, but die at home gasping for God or the vaccine, because there is no room at the hospital, I have as much sympathy as I do for those who lose at Russian Roulette.
How hard is this, people? Get the stinkin’ shots.

Well, the way it's going some areas are already struggling to keep up with demand and it is only going to get worse for now. Not only are there not enough beds but there is also a staffing shortage because medical and nursing professionals are tired of the BS, full stop. Many have left or plan to leave and won't be back. And everyone will be the worse for it.
The drain on medical expertise might be the longest-lasting effect of COVID.
I hate they feel the way they do. But I understand it. Long story short, I have a better grasp of this than one might think a former banker could have.
I fear what happens next to Alabama. I hope America is watching.
Don't let this happen to you.

there was a Garth Brooks show in Nashville tonight at Nissan Stadium. Storms forces 80K out of the stands and into the hallways mask less to huddle together
I disagree. I blame the organizers just as much as I blame the right wing pastors that scream don’t get vaccinated. Especially now as this new wave is getting worse and worse. This is no time to have events that encourage thousands of people to attend, hopping that only responsible vaccinated people attend. This includes sports, current MLB stadiums, and the upcoming NFL/college seasons. If the organizers of these event don’t start taking responsibility for what they are encouraging people to do, then this wave is going to be the worst one yet.
Sadly, I agree. We had plans to attend an Alabama and an OSU game this year but have canceled them because of the upswing in cases. IMO, it would be irresponsible to attend an event like that right now.

The folks I mentioned died before a vaccine as well. Our IT manager was standing at my office door on a Friday and died 17 days later. He observed all the safety procedures but contracted the virus. What’s so sad is I know he’d have gotten vaccinated but it wasn’t available last fall.

The South is burning. But, the vaccines are still holding up, thanks to new data from the Kaiser Family Foundation.

August 2, 2021 US coronavirus news
The Delta variant is wreaking havoc through much of the US, and an internal CDC document shows it spreads as easily as chickenpox. Follow here for the latest news.
I'm on the other side of this fence. Most of the guys that are getting paid at these events are people setting up and running PA, concessions, people who set up and break the stage, the guys that set up the drums and other musical gear, folks selling T-shirts, and the musicians. Garth may not need an income, but the guys playing with him do. If we're waiting on 80% to be vaccinated, that day is not coming and these people would be permanently out of work because their job doesn't exist anymore.
The unvaccinated are going to stay unvaccinated. It's past time to let the chips fall where they may. IMO, better sooner rather than later. Put the fear of God into the unvaccinated. Let a bunch of them get hospitalized and die. The longer it gets put off, the greater the risk of a variant resistant to the vaccines.
I've come around to this also. The primary reason is that it seems to be where things are heading in any event. I think there will be a modest uptick in vaccinations, as the severity of the new strain becomes more apparent and right wing influencers change sides of the fence (Ivey, Hannity, DeSantis, etc.) as it becomes evident that the hospitals are being packed by Republicans, not Democrats. However, 80% ain't in the cards. It's just not happening. This thing is going to burn itself out but not until thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands, more die. All the rest of us can hope for is that, on the way out, they don't breed a variant which makes our vaccination useless, before the pharmas can come up with matching vaccinations or something more general purpose, which I understand they're working on...
