That’s fine. I didn’t believe a parent would be so afraid their kid had the sniffies that they would call all over the place to get them in for a test and complain that they couldn’t get therapeutics only necessary for immune compromised people, but you made me a believer. 

 Illiterate as always, she's asymptomatic and we can't send her back to school until we get a negative test. She's gonna miss tomorrow too because we still haven't got the results back.

New Jersey

Of the 6,075 currently hospitalized with COVID, 2,963 of them — about 49 percent — are hospitalized primarily because of their COVID diagnosis. The rest were hospitalized for other reasons, and then tested positive for COVID in the hospital.

So "only" 3,000 people are hospitalized with Covid?

If she’s asymptomatic , what exactly scarfed you enough to even post about it?   Asking for a friend

Nothing scarfed me, friend. Both my kids have been vaccinated since late November, I was just pointing out that omicron recently eliminated the only approved treatment option for the under 12 group. It's rare that kids get hospitalized for this, but it's still happening often enough for children's hospitals to be at capacity. Wish you best of luck with your unvaccinated kids.

The whole "only half are hospitalized due to COVID" argument is so Fing stupid.  Nationally hospitals are wildly short staffed and we're in peak respiratory season, but yeah a few extra thousand hospitalizations are just NBD. About 20,000 total hospital beds in all of NJ but sure, what's 3000 extra patients requiring aggressive respiratory care?

I had to literally beg an immunocompromised patient with a fever to go the ED a few weeks ago because they didn't want to sit for hours. That being after I had another one die of gram negative sepsis earlier this year who didn't want to do for the same reason.  Wife found a giant mass in a woman's ovary today.  She's referred to the oncologists but even cancer surgeries are on hold for the foreseeable future.  Gonna see a baby tomorrow in the nursery tomorrow alone because mom is on ECMO from COVID.  That will be the 4th COVID positive mother of a baby I've seen this month, but thankfully only the second one with a Fing plastic tube in their throat.  Wifey is only on #3, but ya know that doesn't include the 2 late term spontaneous abortions so I guess she "wins".

Words cannot express how infuriating it is to see a bunch of ignorant C-students act like this is even remotely normal or mild.  

Finally out of the woods with COVID and flurona making its way around our house. Everyone with the exception of our youngest, who was vaccinated, was laid up at some point. It was the sickest a couple of us have ever been.

At least you're recovered just in time to see us make a playoff run! Only 49% joking.

Sorry bro, not afraid of any of that. Annoyances? Sure. But not fear-inducing. I mean nothing like your kid’s brush with death by Covid. 

Such a dumb argument!  There’s Better chance you die from a car accident than a cavity but I bet you brush your teeth every day.  I bet you also learned to swim so you don’t drown, look both ways before crossing a street, and have anti slip duckies on the bottom of your tub so you don’t slip and die in the shower.  What else do you do in your every day life that you make decisions based on the death probabilities.  Your mom probably cuts your hot dogs into halves so you don’t choke on them too.  But yeah when it comes to a deadly virus, just F all the precautions.

it’s not experimental at this point bruh. 50+ years of research and over 2 years of actual data in the fight against Covid.  
 

gonna wear a hat and gloves, maybe a coat tomorrow?  Or do you think you’ll be ok because the chances you freeze to death are pretty low.

I work from home, so I’m good. My kids both had Covid already in 2020. Shocking, but they both survived their head cold. But feel free to go shoot your kid up for no reason. 

50 years of playing around in a petri dish.

Perhaps they shouldn't have fired the staff. Just a thought.

Oh no! Jake got red pilled! 

Is it for the money? A hospital? 

Nooooo......

Sorry you have had to go thru that but sounds like you are all coming out the other side now which is great news.

agreed - it is in no way surprising. But saying this a year ago, was propaganda. 

Now the CDC is saying it. 

🤷‍♂️

What do you mean "now” the CDC is saying it?  There’s been data on COVID deaths and comorbidities since the beginning of this thing.  
Propaganda is people who then take that data and go "only 5% of COVID deaths are in people with zero comorbidities.  That means the REAL amount of COVID deaths are actually only 5% of the death toll the government is putting out” which is something I’ve seen happen time and time again.  
Some People hear the term comorbidity and they think it means diagnosed with a condition that has you pegged for imminent death.   Not realizing that the majority of the over 40 adult population has hypertension, diabetes, or is obese, and so when ANYONE of them dies for ANY reason, it’s highly likely they have comorbidities.

In most cases self inflicted comorbidities.

Wow so you believe the vaccines don't work? is that what you are saying, you  believe the stats showing that around 0.2% of vaxxed have died is a lie? because if you believe the numbers  then you agree it is mild for almost all vaxxed. And since the vaccine is widely available then it is a personal choice whether the virus is mild or not. Virginia for example, looks pretty mild overall for vaxxed. I mean if you can't live a normal life with these odds then you better be prepared to lockdown forever,

Some of the people I know drive as much as 10-14 hours one way, rather than fly. That is saying something. 

9-10 hours is my cutoff. Less than that and flying isn’t worth it. Takes me 90 mins to drive to the airport, then dealing with airport crap for 90 mins, then the flight and getting out of the airport. Just not worth it. Especially with rental cars being crazy expensive now.

For the usual group of imbeciles that didn’t understand, here it is in bullet points. 
 

You still won’t understand, but whatever.
