Coronavirus Thread: Worldwide Pandemic

[jj23]

Welp my sister found out her and her kids have Covid. . I told her and she me. Unvaxxed the whole lot. She says she now feels like she's dying. . I told her to get the shot. FAFO. Hopefully neither of them have any long lasting problems as she's pregnant too.

Jesus Christ man

Man it really feels like a simulation

At times it feels like complete insanity. I am to the point where I now distrust people that just tell me there vaccinated, I mean people that you ask and go " yea sure I got it". A few pages back someone posted an article about people silently dying from covid and there families not saying anything

I can tell you that shyt is real, am in a mid size mid west city and ever since they shyt started I've seen post, work emails and news articles about random people in there 40s and 50s just passing, right before Xmas a well known law enforcement dude here just upped a died, no cause given etc


if anything covid has made me double down on my belief that if some even deadlier virus were to come around we all fuked once it kills the intelligent members of our community

Imagine a soldier of the US Army carrying a loaded assault rifle to a classroom of 9 year olds. With their Army gear on. Teaching a classroom for an entire day.

Kindergarten Cop in real life.

Too many people adopted the "survival of the fittest" mentality, as in, if you die from COVID, they think that you deserved to die because you are "weak"

The actual #s of people dead is roughly 1.2 million in America

"More Americans are now hospitalized with COVID-19 than ever before. Their sheer numbers are overwhelming health-care workers, whose ranks have been diminished by resignations and breakthrough infections. In many parts of the country, patients with all kinds of medical emergencies now face long waits and worse care. After writing about the crisis earlier this month, I heard from a number of readers who said that the solution was obvious: Deny medical care to unvaccinated adults," Ed Yong writes. "Such arguments were aired last year, as the Delta variant crested, and they’re emerging again as Omicron spreads. Their rationale often goes something like this:
"'Every adult in the U.S. has been eligible for vaccines since April. At this point, the unvaccinated have made their choice. That choice is hurting everyone else, by perpetuating the pandemic and, now, by crushing the health-care system. Most of the people hospitalized with COVID are unvaccinated. It’s unethical that health-care workers should sacrifice for people who won’t take care of themselves. And it’s especially unethical that even vaccinated people, who did everything right, might be unable to get care for heart attacks or strokes because emergency rooms are choked with unvaccinated COVID patients.'
"To be clear, this debate is theoretical: Health-care workers are not denying care to unvaccinated patients, even though, ironically, many told me they’ve been accused of doing so by not prescribing ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine, which are ineffective against COVID but are often wrongly billed as lifesavers. Still, I ran this argument past several ethicists, clinicians, and public-health practitioners. Many of them sympathized with the exasperation and fear behind the sentiment. But all of them said that it was an awful idea—unethical, impractical, and founded on a shallow understanding of why some people remain unvaccinated."


I thought things were improving?

It’s a Terrible Idea to Deny Medical Care to Unvaccinated People

Omicron was probably in N.Y.C. well before the first U.S. case was detected, wastewater data suggest.

Omicron was probably present in New York City’s wastewater more than a week before the first case of the new variant was detected in the United States, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and researchers across the country.

The samples suggest that someone in New York City may have had the Omicron variant as early as Nov. 21, four days beforeSouth African scientists first announcedcases of the variant and ten days before the first U.S. case was reported. Researchers in California and Texas also found evidence of Omicron in wastewater samples from late November.

The findings suggest that at the time, the Omicron variant was more widespread in the United States than the case data alone would indicate, and provide more evidence that wastewater surveillance can serve as an early warning system about the spread of new variants.

“At first it was uncertain whether this variant was going to come to the United States,” said Alexandria Boehm, an environmental engineer at Stanford and an author of the paper. “The wastewater answered that question way before the clinical samples could, and the answer was yes.”
