No where in the article does it state the number of hospitalized citizens that are vaccinated.  No where. It's a prediction.  Hasn't happened yet.

 

I amost missed this beauty.  Truly unreal

Israel stopped publicly releasing information on breakthrough cases/hospitalizations, but I believe around 75% hospitalized and hospitalized in serious condition were vaccinated at last count. I posted about it around a week ago if you want to go back and look. You don't really need to be spoon-fed the information, though. We can reasonably conclude the most vaccinated population has a high percentage of vaccinated people getting ill if they're undergoing their worst wave ever.

Nailed it, that's why surgeons wear lipstick in the OR. 

So you wear surgical masks out in public?- I am not aware of their availability...

Yes, this is why you see doctors wearing lipstick to perform surgery.

The same reason you have to cover your face with foundation to see a burn victim.

Thank God we have medical advice of your caliber.

So surgical apparal is now widely available?

Not wearing lipstick or makeup either.  Similar protective value.

I don't believe either of these statements are true.

Surgical masks are for blood and fluid splatters

and droplets. germs  and viruses are typically carried in fluid and droplets, which is why masks are cheap and effective at reducing the spread of the bad stuff: germs and viruses.

that's the point. masks don't have to be N95 to be effective. obviously N95 is much more effective (also much more difficult to breathe in). but cloth and paper masks are able to stop the transmission of many saliva droplets, which stops the virus from hitching a ride other people's systems. 

it's not rocket science.

What? I don't even know how to respond to this.

Wait, so you think surgical masks are some scarce commodity that's not available for purchase, is that it?

You would know, mopping up those splatters can't be easy.

Not by any significant amount

in Jersey the number went from basically zero to 3% of hospitalizations being among vaccinate the 3rd week in July. 

They haven't released numbers from subsequent weeks when things are getting really dodgy. I'm a bit anxious as to why there is a delay in releasing those numbers.

Cool, now tell it to the guy that says lipstick and masks have a similar protective effect.

:lol: Are you under the impression that I didn't see the giant bolded blue lettering? 

I'm sure you saw the letters just fine, we're under the impression you can't read.

Very tiny sample though plus you'd expect a decent amount given that the vaccination rate in NJ is pretty high.  I think the point right now is that the numbers are still preliminary.

Quite literally the janitors that work in my hospital know infinitely more about PPE in terms of what to use/when to use it than you do. Thats the funny part

Im sure the Twitter content administrators know more than a physician.

YOU DIPSTICKS MISSED THAT MASKING AND SOCIAL DISTANCING REDUCED THE SEASONAL FLU TO TINY NUMBERS.

BECAUSE MASKS, DISTANCING & HAND WASHING WORKS, YOU MEALY-WORM LEVEL INTELLIGENCE MORONS!!!!!!!
