Covid baaaack??
- Thread starter ksupoke
- Start date
For no reason as most are asymptomatic. Need to stop with the incessant testing
If you’re vaccinated why do you care? If you choose not to be vaccinated why do you care?
This
If you look at history, it usually tells you the future. Look at 1918. It took 2 years to run its course. Each time a variant appears, it means the virus is losing its strength.
Omicron should be celebrated as a light at the end of the tunnel, yet our fear mongering media scares the shit out of most of the population because the truth means less eyeballs to sell commercials.
Man, vaccinate or don’t is up to you. Just move on with the facts and live your lives.

Sniffles, and maybe a minor cough. It’s now just a cold.
It will be interesting to see if these players unions start raising hell about these Covid protocols. The vast majority of these guys seem to be asymptomatic and don’t want to be held out for extended periods in protocol or at all. Especially when they try to dock their pay for cancelled games.
Rarely agree with anything that comes out of LeBron’s mouth, but he was rightfully critical of the ridiculous NBA Covid protocol which is pretty similar to other leagues.

That's right, stop testing so the virus will go away. It's right wing science.
Clearly you don’t understand virus attenuation.
I imagine you are one of those dudes I see daily….wearing a mask driving alone in your car. That’s Democrat control science.

There’s 40 people with it in our hospital, that’s over 20 more than a few weeks ago. It never really went away though. Hopefully Omicron is much less severe than Delta was, bc it’s WAY more infectious.
And yet you probably think a man with man parts and born a man that identifies as a woman is a woman.
The South African’s report a significantly lower hospitalization rate for the omicron variant (1.6%) vs. the delta variant (19%).
Less severe and more infectious is pretty typical for virus attenuation.
The numbers are going up like crazy in Europe and so are the hospitalizations. I am sure we will copy their patterns, but the vaccinated percentage is lower, here. Some of our states, here are already seeing full hospitals.
Then we hear the flu shot may not have been a great match for the flu strain that is here, great.

It's not going away but it's weaker and easily treatable now. You're just going to have to decide if you're going to walk around with a mask like a total pussy the rest of your life or not.
Some people will die. Sucks. We will move on.
I am vaxxed with moderna. Had not gotten booster. Tested positive yesterday, went to urgent care after feeling like crap for three days with fever/chills, bad cough and extremely sore throat, can barely swallow especially first thing in the morning . I assumed strep as I still have taste and small.
did a home test last night for independent confirmation and it was positive as well.
I have no idea where I came in contact.
so yeah omicron I believe it’s spreading faster
Yes we are a 200 bed hospital. The ER has been full since just before Thanksgiving. Some days are better than others. We have about 35-40 in house covid patients, and another 20 PUIs that have influenza pretty bad.
Is it as bad as January of this year? Well no, but I can tell you every one in the hospital is worn out. We have whole floors of either new grad nurses, or travel nurses.
We've lost about 130 rns in the last 5 months due to burn out, or they went to travel.
You seem insecure
Talked w an OSU grad pulmonologist in KC today, he said the same....nursing staffs are depleted, worn out, exhausted.
Also said obesity is an epidemic in this country contributing significantly to the pandemic. This is nothing new, but the reality is clear.
the commucrats hope these variants keep coming, they just see mail in ballots, drive through voting, ballot harvesting and stealing another national election. stacy abrams is cheering for covid.
Exactly. Hospitals do not have the staff to deal with a surge. People just do understand how bad it’s been this past almost two years in hospitals unless you’ve been there. I’m in the OR so it’s not as bad, but I see it and hear it every day. Dec 2020 we had 140 COVID pts, we don’t have the staff to cover half that now.
We need to increase our hospital support!
I kind of doubt you got omicron. Delta is still the predominate strand here
Nursing, Respiratory, Radiology, and Phlebotomists are all quitting in droves.
If I've learned anything (politically) during the pandemic, it's that people on both the far left and the far right have difficultly engaging their brains and using logic.
If this statement offends you even slightly, then you're part of the problem.

I’m not worried about getting the virus. I am worried about getting injured, or needing emerg ency care for some other reason, and not being able to get the care needed due to overwhelmed hospitals in the area. This would be less likely if more people were to get fully vaccinated.
The most vocal on any subject these days are the extremist idiots on the far 5% left and far 5% right. Well maybe 10% left and 3% right…
Screamers who use social media to get attention.
Unfortunately our politicians are now largely from these 2 groups of morons.

I don’t know if our politicians are from that segment or pander to them. I miss the days they were ignored and thought of as nuts
Covid fatigue, mask fatigue, vaccine fatigue, news cycle fatigue... it's all there. I agree with all of the other physicians on here. The hospitals could be in big trouble if we get too much more surge. 2.5% unemployment in Oklahoma and medical staff morale is at an all time low. I've seen several great nurses, respiratory therapists and lots of other medical workers call it quits after covid. In most cases, it's not lack of beds, it's lack of staff. We're back to the game of the ER shipping people all over the place or getting them shipped here. Covid may not infect you personally but it will effect you when you show up at Baptist in OKC or St. Francis in Tulsa with chest pain or a stroke and you end up in Enid. We've seen several of those. We have someone on the vent from Hereford Texas, wherever that is. I think the husband ended up in Amarillo.
I don't have any better answer than anybody else what to tell you to do personally. Vaccine or not to vaccinate? Everyone has to make their own decisions. Personally, I've had 3 shots. I've not had covid that I'm aware of. Stay away from sick people if you can. Wash your hands. If you think you're sick, get tested. If you get covid, quarantine. If you meet the emergency use authorization guidelines consider getting the monoclonal antibody infusion.
Covid sucks! I hope everyone stays safe and healthy and have a Merry Christmas!

There's also a lot of scientists saying the variance are coming from those who are vaccinated. Additionally, many of those same doctors said that we would be seeing what Israel was seeing in their skyrocketing cases with those who are vaccinated. They said look at Israel who is one of the most vaccinated countries in the world and that would be us in 8 to 12 weeks. Well here we are.
By the way, for all those who say the hospitals are full of the unvaccinated you need to look a little deeper. The CDC decided that if you just had the first shot or the second shot and it's less than 14 days or miss the booster by any number of days then you are considered unvaccinated. That seems very misleading when they have the ability to report the truly unvaccinated, partially vaccinated, and fully vaccinated. If people don't see the agenda they're trying to push you need to start doing your own research. Don't listen to the mainstream media, check out what other countries and doctors around the world are saying.
Another good example is India. If you don't know what I'm talking about do some research. Here's a hint.

Delta most likely and it will end up being the deadliest variant by far (relativey)...
Unvaxxed recovered covid patients are the most protected in the world.
I say that while also believing at risk patients should get vaxxed if they've never had covid. Delta can mess you up if you have health issues and take no measures once you get it (vitamin c, d, zinc, etc). No idea why our government isn't pushing vitamin c, d, zinc, etc like they do vaccines

Or it could be that MANY nurses, doctors, techs, etc did not want to get the vaccine and left their jobs because they were forced to leave. Somehow many people have forgetten that point. We supposedly have the worst pandemic in history that isn't more deadly than the average flu, but they're pushing out highly qualified health professionals. That makes no sense at all.

Did you understand that getting the vaccine doesn't keep you from getting or spreading Covid-19, but that is what the media and some political leaders have been pushing.
Or we could all do what India did to defeat Covid-19 and take a real cheap drug called Ivermectin that's been available for over 30 years to humans. Additionally there's over 150 double blind studies that have been done showing its effectiveness, but no one's listening anymore because the vaccine is the only answer.
Ivermectin Information (Covid-19)
Ivermectin is an FDA approved drug for humans and is on the World Health Organization's (WHO) list of essential medicines. Did you know the creators of this drug won a Nobel Prize for their work? Ivermectin first appeared in the late 1970's and was initially introduced as a commercial product...
