COVID-19 - On the Ground

[Deleted User 863]

I am sorry, but that's such a stupid article to put out. A few people, mostly not wanting to be named. That intent of that article is blatantly obvious. Keep their readers hating rural "folks" and feeling superior so the divide remains. It's dumb. The other side does the same shit.

Don't you think the 42% who refuse to get vaccinated are the biggest factor in creating that divide?

Yes, the divide over the vaccine.

But the divide is there on pretty much everything.

CNNs article isn't written to entice people to get the vaccine. It is written to make fun of rural Missourians who have to get the vaccine in secret (all 5 of them) because their readers/viewers eat that shit up. It's dumb.

I don't believe it.
I say there is all but zero chance that 90% are/were fully vaccinated.




I wonder how many kids who attended with fake CDC vaccination cards care about this......

Imagine risking COVID to see Limp Bizkit at a festival crowd in 2021.

I think your odds of catching something at a Limp Bizkit concert in 2021 are pretty high.

Serious illness for unvaccinated, right?

i believe so

it’s just a “leaked” internal report (like a powerpoint presentation or something), so take it with a grain of salt

the data has yet to be thoroughly vetted and scrutinized

randy will get right on it.

“it’s just another way to look at the data”

who knew randy was an epidemiologist/biostatistician?

He'll read the word chickenpox. Go, chickenpox is no big deal, therefore, this is no big deal either. Since he's not looking at it emotionally.

Utah ICU beds back up to more than 85% capacity

positivity rate at 11.1% and climbing

back to where we were in February, and back to full mitigation protocols at work

[TDub]

They reported that the 15 hospitals closest to me arent accepting patients. Even ER patients. Better not get hurt.

[TDub]

We're also at a ridiculous 26% positivity rate.

This is the kind of shit people like Randy have to ignore with there, "it's no big deal" take.

was just looking at a “hot spots” map, and NE Oregon/SE Washington definitely stood out

I Wouldn't Trade Breathing For Any Political Principle I Hold

https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/p ... servative/

I don’t understand what conservatism has to do with saving your life. Hand to god, I don’t. What kind of faith are you keeping? What principle are you defending with your last functioning alveoli? I know liberals are supposed to be the ones who tailor their whole lives around their ideology, but there is no political principle I hold that I’m willing to trade adherence to it for breathing.

[...]

I hope [an unvaccinated sick guy] makes it, and I’m glad he has seen his way clear to taking the vaccine. And, sadly, that’s as far as I can go, for him and for everybody like him. It shouldn’t be, but it is. All right, as John Dos Passos wrote, we are two countries. But both of them have the same damn disease, which doesn’t care for whom you voted in 2020, or what your favorite television and radio pundits think they know about epidemiology. Liberals and conservatives both have to breathe.
