Looking at the curves, I think s lot of states are just about there. Louisiana looks to be about to break over. Lot of states curves right now aren’t as steep as the last wave. I also see the 7 day average of cases is around 100,000. Deaths are around 500 a day. The last time cases were at 100k per day, deaths were running 3000 a day. This surge is clearly different. It’s either the vaccines, or delta isn’t as deadly. Probably a combination of both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lava Rock Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I dunno, I don’t think so. I could be wrong. But it’s been 7 weeks since the cases started going up and we should have seen an increase in deaths. So far it hasn’t happened. But yea, let’s see what happens in 3 weeks. I think cases start to fall. Sorry Ieft out the sarcasm emoticon. In all seriousness though, I hope mortality stays relatively lowSent from my SM-G981U1 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers I looked at for comparison were around the first 10 days of February. So the vax hadn’t been out long. Maybe the nursing homes were pretty far along. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happens all the time in the MA subforum too. It's weird, man. Many of us regulars too just gave up and joined the convo, ha. Not necessarily content police but nostalgia for the old ways of the forum. You checked in as a way to escape real life issues and talk weather with other weather fanatics, vs. coming to hear thoughts on society’s problems and maybe discuss weather on the side. But there’d also be 6 hours at a time between posts in the summer. I agree though if we are going to do COVID convo just let everyone in the pool at once and see who drowns . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and 2 other electrical sub contractors waited outside the local Capital Tristate (electrical supply) this morning at 630 am for it to open like we do many days and when the doors swung open the worker quickly said ( U NEED MASKS) to enter . I quickly said I guess Home Depot and Lowes will get the business from me then ...call me when corporate changes back . The other 2 contractors weren't as civil lol. They cursed and said we aren't wearing no more effin masks . They also left Like I did . Americans are done with this shit .I spend $35,000 to 45 K there a year. Enough small businesses like me push back on this Draconian BS it'll start to change their tune. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as of today there's no mask mandate at Depot . I was there . If Depot requires it in the future then I'll go to Lowes ...if they do then I'll refuse to comply and they'll have to arrest me . So be it . Time for Americans to push back and sorry to disappoint you but many are . There's millions of peeps like me who usually keep to themselves ( very little if any news watching, social media or political talk) who spend there time working hard, taking care of their families, help there neighbors etc ...who are rising up to push back on mandates / restrictions.

They’re not necceserily sick enough for ICU level care. It’s not the norm, but it is prevalent here and there. Hospitals are filled in Arkansas and the people in the icu beds are mainly on ventilators. They’ve had to stop elective procedures(which makes them the money they need to stay afloat) and also are having to shop hundreds of miles away each time a cardiac emergency happens or a serious crash takes place. My aunt says her hospital system is on the verge of collapse and they are literally doing anything they can do to find resources and try to stay afloat. It’s a very bad situation.

Wmsptwx Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 On top of all of that the kitchen and nutrition staff and several emergency nurses are quitting in large numbers due to being worn out, understaffed and finding better opportunities outside of healthcare or hospital system. They literally can’t staff the places right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, get the field hospital set up and pay the nurses more so they stay, if it's that much of an issue. But neither of those things will happen and the media will just suddenly stop talking about it. Just like last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During this entire pandemic, people have been trying to claim that business decisions made by the hospital administrations are strongly correlated to COVID spread and severity. Some hospitals are just grossly mismanaged and always have very long ER waits and wards bursting at capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to share her personal photos. Discovery Channel has made a documentary called “The Surge at Mount Sinai.” It was one of the few spots that maxed out… of course being in NYC in the very beginning, people were curious what was wrong with them too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
