Covid Vaccine

Let me add some work experience to this. Don’t know what it means but I think it telling. I have had many hospitalization in the last several weeks. The thing is, they go there with little symptoms and are tested (then pos) and immediately admitted.

why? Release in less than 2 days. I Donno. It just raises an eyebrow

Ohhhh! from your own article dumbass many of the patients ARE NOT COVID PATIENTS they are patients there normal care facilities don't want to handle right now. Jesus read your own articles. Why the **** do you feel the need to argue with people who have spouses and daughters in the trenches who know what is bullshit and what is real news. Most of this breathless reporting misses the truth, intentionally.

What does the TRANSFERS not being Covid patients have to do with anything? FROM THE ARTICLE, they are transferring patients because they are running out of space DUE TO THE COVID SURGE.

Why do you think you’re an authority because your daughter works on the front line? Don Whiting is an authority, Maggie Thieman is an authority. Quote them FROM THE ARTICLE.

They are either doing it preventively, a good thing to a degree, or they are trying to inflate hospitalizations for nefarious reasons. My mother at 78 with COPD was in over a week getting treatments to keep her from getting more sick but she never once had to go on oxygen. Her doctor said she could have been there only a day or two but they were being safe. Which I appreciate as it kept her from smoking like the dumbass she is. She is home now planning her april cruise, running the American Legion Ladies Auxiliary for the whole state and runs bingo for them and still bowls once a week. But many of these hospitalizations are not emergencies but precautionary measures.

Everything dumbass! If non hospital facilities are sending cases to hospitals they normally handle it fills up the hospitals. I am not arguing there isn't a surge I am telling you that many of those in the ICU's are NOT Covid related. ALso you are failing to acknowledge that the capacity issues are seriously overblown as even Tibs list shows most at NORMAL occupancy. Less people are dying form this and more are being put in for precautionary not emergency reasons.

This is happening at my daughter's hospital too. You test positive, you are admitted. Most are out in 2-3 days if symptoms don't worsen. Told to go home, rest, take vitamin d and zinc and stay hydrated. I think its an abundance of caution.

They're not even admitting anyone out here in Southern California. My stepdad who's 80-years old and has COPD - he tested positive - with instructions to go home, rest, hydrate & all the rest and that was it. Same with my mom now. So much for this deadly pandemic ravaging our country when an 80-year old man with several severe comorbidities is told to go home and rest. Buncha bullshit fear porn.

I think it’s more about the bottom line. Think about it. The number of normal hospital stuff is wayyyyh down, they are still a biz. My local hospital laid off a **** ton of Drs. I hate to think this way but. Man wig be in my brain lately.

My daughters hospital that is a level one trauma in Cincinnati is short staffed due to walkouts over mandatory vaccinations.

Plus there is a severe shortage of nurses overall. From Fox10 News in FL recently. Not all is over the vaccination mandates as that is really just now hitting. Cincinnati Hospitals all agreed to mandate it and they are getting huge pushback from the nurses and unions.

"Miami’s Jackson Memorial Health System, Florida’s largest medical provider, has been losing nurses to staffing agencies, other hospitals and pandemic burnout, Executive Vice President Julie Staub said. The hospital's CEO says nurses are being lured away to jobs in other states at double and triple the salary.

Staub said system hospitals have started paying retention bonuses to nurses who agree to stay for a set period. To cover shortages, nurses who agree to work extra are getting the typical time-and-a-half for overtime plus $500 per additional 12-hour shift. Even with that, the hospital sometimes still has to turn to agencies to fill openings.

"You are seeing folks chase the dollars," Staub said. "If they have the flexibility to pick up and go somewhere else and live for a week, months, whatever and make more money, it is a very enticing thing to do. I think every health care system is facing that."

Nearly 70% of Florida hospitals are expecting critical staffing shortages in the next week, according to the Florida Hospital Association."

The media won’t say that though

You’re trying to rewrite the article. Where in the article does it state anything about “non hospital facilities”?

They don’t transfer and admit ambulatory patients to hospitals in other states several hours away for precautionary reasons, dumbass.
 
There are staffing shortages everywhere. Govt and state run healthcare facilities are starting to mandate the vax in PA. Staffing at my home is beyond the critical point. A large company bought out all of our homes so the old company pulled the sign on bonuses. We were already one of the lower paying facilities to compound the problem. When other facilities within 10 miles are offering 15k sign ons and higher starting rate and still can't get people I don't know how my company expects to get staff.

You are right, I misread a statement but I also found this that backs up what I am saying.

"but they cannot be treated where they live because local facilities are full or lack sufficient resources or staffing."

It isn't all or even mostly due to severe covid cases but a lack of nurses. That not Covid is one of the biggest healthcare crisis we face today and it isn't getting better.
 
Karma is a *****, of course Texas Gov Abbott comes down w Covid after relentlessly downplaying it for months on end.

Here is Abbott on the eve of his announcement that he too has - shockingly - been infected.

 
Also Texas… for the ‘Delta is nothing to worry about’ crowd.

It’s strange that you never mock board members when they announce that they or family members have contracted Covid. Why don’t you?

Covid isn't funny, but your level of fear is downright hilarious. You're like chicken little, but with a smaller pecker...much, much smaller.

Since when is a level of awareness considered fear? Jr. High school? Like your attempted insults.

At least provide some kind of counter-perspective instead of the anti-intellectual “You’re just scared!”
