Idaho? At least it is scenic there.

I label you "glass half full"!

Good point. When you meet a pretty girl in Oklahoma, do you say her mouth is half full of teeth or half-empty? Help a friend, here.

I'll allow it.

Actually, "full"...

So if Abbot was vaccinated and having no symptoms why is he getting Regeneron?

 

[nashhorn]

I asked myself the same question.

 

[horninchicago]

Wait, so Gov. Abbot is having covid symptoms but he's vaccinated, and some of you are pushing and touting the goddamnned vaccine?

Holy freaking hell that is asinine!

 

[Seattle Husker]

So if Abbot was vaccinated and having no symptoms why is he getting Regeneron?

Here were the previous recommendations for Regeneron:
- Within 10 days of contracting Covid (Check?)
- At high risk of severe symptoms (wait...he's supposedly vaccinated)
- 65 years of age (Check!
- Obese or other medical condition (Check...paralyzed)

I suppose whatever medical condition put him in a wheelchair could make him susceptible to high risk of severe symptoms.

So all wheelchair people are at a higher risk? He was jogging and an oak branch fell on him. Good medical condition. Oh you said sell Apple about 10 years ago I didn’t.

Yeah ...it's complicated and dynamic. No one has figured it out yet. We're deciding whose guesses to trust. I know vaccinated people who got COVID. I've only known unvaccinated people who were hospitalized or died of COVID. To honor the worries of others in household I'm socially distancing more than I would if I didn't have others'' concerns to consider.

I really have done no research on it, but I would do the same if I got Covid. My father in law got covid this weekend and is getting therapy today. He is over 65, vaccinated, mildly overweight, but otherwise pretty healthy. Is there a shortage or risks from doing the therapy?

 

[nashhorn]

What therapy Theii, Regeneron?

This tweet explains why hospitals may be full but deaths are low:

Also vulnerable people are now mostly vaccinated.

 

[theiioftx]

What therapy Theii, Regeneron?

I believe so, but not sure. He lives in a different city and is a doctor, so I am not close to his therapy. He is showing only symptoms of like having allergies. He baled hay all weekend and thought that was the cause.

Answer > "abundance of caution "

It's a term you may understand, since Democrat leadership has used it many times to defend their decisions to lockdown local economies to support their fear porn. In the governor's case, it's warranted. He's a high risk individual

 

[HornHuskerDad]

a pretty girl in Oklahoma

Is there a pretty girl in Oklahoma?

That is inaccurate. We are better able to treat COVID after learning about it for a year +.

 

[OUBubba]

Also vulnerable people are now mostly vaccinated.

That's why anything more than a 30% hospitalization of non vaccinated highlights the strength of the vaccine. The population that's typically hospitalized is more apt to be vaccinated. So, the number is higher than 90%.

 

[horninchicago]

So, if I don't get vaccinated, and only unvaccinated people are now overwhelming hospitals, then if I get sick enough to need a hospital, can't I just be told screw you if there are no beds?

Seems like an easy answer.

Except illegals need to be kicked out of the hospital before you, a tax paying and I assume fully insured citizen, are refused service.

That would be racist lol.

Remember, it's our fault their countries suck bad enough to come here, to the country that ruined their country.

 

[mchammer]

According to TMC, only 26% of all occupied beds are covid patients. I agree with HIC - any incompetence by the hospital isn’t my responsibility.

174 people died in Texas in the last 7 days. This is the Texas Department of Health and Services. The CDC is reporting near 4k for deaths over the last 7 days.

We definitely know how to treat Covid compared to previous waves but death is not "rare" by most definitions. I'm sure you all are aware that TX ordered 5 mortuary semi trucks from the Feds.

On difference between the current surge and previous surge is that the average age of patient death is falling. In Florida last week the average age was 45. This is most assuredly due to our success in vaccinating the elderly and lack of success in vaccinating those our age.

I really wish people like you would quit making a deal out of the refrigerated trucks. They are often used in jurisdictions that handle multiple counties, especially for autopsy purposes. Much like an ICU, morgues are often functioning near capacity and were LOOOONG before the sniffles became a thing.

Yet people like you and the media seem to believe that those offices and entities often sit around with absolutely no patients/bodies to tend to.

And I'm sure you're aware that the idiot you voted for is letting illegals, many of whom have Covid, cross the border by the hundreds of thousands.

That has been a huge problem in the media mb227. They rarely provide any context or historical perspective to show the actual effect that COVID is making on all these metrics.

One thing we aren't seeing at all is excess death curve. Last I looked which was months ago, there wasn't anything excess even as COVID deaths were significant.

 

[Crockett]

I wish folks wouldn't act like people who spend their last days on earth desperately trying to inhale oxygen through a ventilator died of the "sniffles." or somehow were given substandard ICU care.

You have a problem with facts? It's just a normal occurrence for local municipalities and state health departments to ask for refrigerated morgues.

Happens all the time, right? Let's see...happens during major natural disasters and...hold on...thinking...maybe you can help tell me when the last time Texas requested these? This winter when people froze death? Maybe but couldn't find any references. Hurricane Harvey maybe?

I'm not saying anyone is sitting around twiddling their fingers so please stop building strawmen which you do incessantly as if you aren't an actual lawyer trained to debate.

What the refrigerated morgues are a sign of is that there are bodies, over and above normal capacity that require refrigeration. Why would there be bodies above capacity? Too many water skiing accidents? Maybe sky diving is a sudden fad? Did people forget how to drive during the pandemic resulting in an enormous number of road fatalities? Give me a reason...any reason why there is an increased number of deaths requiring additional capacity. I'm open to ideas but don't start by claiming "people like you and the media" are saying things that nobody has said because that's the hallmark of a weak argument.
