I can't believe the liberal media cares more about reporting COVID hoax news than covering Afghanistan.

The rolling seven-day average of new daily COVID-19 cases in Texas was 15,400 cases as of Sunday, according to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The rolling seven-day average of daily COVID-19 deaths in Texas was 200 per day.

Only 200 dead per day in Texas. Kung flu.

It's time to start holding the unvaccinated responsible by denying them medical care or making them pay for the medical care they are getting. They are taking up beds from people who actually need them, like cancer patients. 

Except the cancer patients that have lung cancer from smoking - they don't get care either, right? 

And the morbidly obese with heart disease - they don't get a bed either.

That sounds fine to me

This as well

 

 

A non vaxxed surcharge is probably a lot less cruel though. That's what I think they should do.

Well, when hospital beds are near 100% capacity from lung cancer patients, who were smokers, we will consider it. But until that happens, the Unvaccinated should not be permitted to take up beds in hospitals. 

This Canuck dewshberry peed on the counter of a Dairy Queen over their mask policy.

The peevish customer argued with staff about British Columbia’s mask policy before unzipping his pants and defiling the DQ service counter as the staff shrieked in horror, footage showed.

"It’s not a BC policy. BC policy says you have to observe exemptions,” the dribbling dissenter said in the video before apparently taking matters into his own hands.

"F—ing psychopaths,” he exclaimed before walking out of the store.

Where are you getting that they are near 100% from COVID patients?

Florida is around 50 percent for ICU covid patients last I read. Not half, but still a huge strain. Should any type of natural disaster or something else that can tax their hospital systems happen now...a lot of people are going to suffer and die.

I get it - I think the CNN article that Toaster posted yesterday was a bit misleading - there are states that are at less than 10% of ICU beds available, but if you dig a little deeper, only about half of that 90% capacity is due to COVID.  The point does remain, however - those beds could be used for other Floridians.  The kind that take bath salts and try to F an alligator and get mauled - that kind of stuff

Or maybe a large, violent storm? Or a fairly large building randomly collapses? Naahhhhhhh, what are the odds any of that could happen?

The article says only 10% of beds left. It does not say there are only COVID patients.

It says the hospitals are becoming OVERWHELMED with COVID patients, which seems to be true.

"So, in essence, our hospitals are full," Carol Burrell said. "We're looking to add space in hallways and conference rooms in waiting areas. Our emergency rooms and our urgent care centers are seeing higher volume than they've seen throughout this pandemic," she said.

Gee. Sounds overwhelming.

Authorities arrest Florida couple accused of using fake vaccine cards to travel to Hawaii

According to court documents, the couple also had fake vaccine cards for their kids — who were born in 2016 and 2017 — and are too young to be vaccinated.

  

Day 2 of school…..another positive case.  This kid was not in school today.  Yesterday’s case was a kid that was at a before school care program along with more than a dozen others.

I'm not looking forward to dealing with this for the next 3+ months until my kids can get vaccinated.

I think it’s inevitable that schools will be shut down and we all go remote again.  By Christmas if not sooner.

We’re in our 8th day here. We have 24 positive cases and 276 people in quarantine. These numbers include students, teachers, and staff. 

Three weeks in and we had 8,000 out yesterday, that is district wide. 

Vaccines will be HUGE but kids are still going to be infected even after they vaccinate though in much smaller numbers.  Hopefully there will be some good preparation for that eventuality.

I'm strongly pro-vax but I'm not OK with the health system writing unvaxed people off like people are suggesting.  If insurance companies want to raise their premiums to account for the addition risk they have, fine.  That's consistent with other high risk insureds and promotes vaccination but people suggesting hospitals turn sick people away to die is pretty F'd up.  

Your examples are the most common that come up but are we now going to say all preventable traumatic orthopedic treatment is to be denied?  

"You caused a car accident and broke your neck, sorry, should have been a safer driver.  Blew your knee out playing football, sorry, that a non essential recreational activity.  You accepted the additional risk now live with the consequences gimp."  

I understand the emotions, frustration, and even anger but people have to not let it make them into evil a-holes in the process.
