I didn’t say at capacity. I said 1/3 of the capacity being covid. Our hospital has never had 1/3 capacity be from a single virus. And certainly not a “cold”.
That and this is the first time, that we’ve had to shutdown multiple units to make them floors for a single virus. Oh and now they are talking about shutting offices down because we are so short on icu nurses they need to bring them in from the satellite offices. None of this has happened in recent history. I can’t say ever, but certainly not in the last 20 years.
Our small city hospital is currently over filled. With over 1/3 being hospitalized Covid cases. The flu doesn’t even do this every year. I’ve been an avid trump supporter since the escalator ride. But the lies being spewed here about Covid are ridiculous.
It’s not just a cold and anyway who bothers to pay attention can see that. Be against lockdowns or whatever else, but don’t spread lies. Just tell the truth.
You don’t want to be inconvenienced even if it means saving lives. Just say that.
Not any more than happens anyway I’m the general public though. With a large enough trial you will guarantee to have a death and some of these other things. They happen to people everyday. If you get a large enough group you will catch stuff that would happen anyway. You have to compare the number with general public numbers to see if it’s because of the trial or just in line with norm. If it’s in line with norm you ignore it.
Sure there is no way to know. But we aren’t exactly stupid. We can have a pretty good idea about the risk of long term issues. And frankly there isn’t any reason to believe there will be long term issues. Not knowing for sure about something isn’t the same as that thing being likely.
We know that having antibodies to the spike protein doesn’t cause long term issues. And the vaccine is only producing a protein similar to that. It’s not using any of the other proteins within Covid that we do know causes issues. For instance the scare about fertility issues is not caused from the spike protein. They know specifically which proteins cause that and they aren’t being utilized in this vaccine.
Of course no one should get the vaccine unless they feel it’s safe. But it’s false to be making claims about it causing long term issues when there is currently 0 data to even hint of that being a problem.
It wouldn’t be wrong to say we haven’t fully tested it yet but that’s not what many people here are doing. I’ve been a trump supporter from day 1 and I find the doom and gloom that’s popped up since we left Reddit to be disturbing.
Just because someone makes a claim doesn’t mean it’s credible, it’s just more fake news. We need to insulate ourselves from fake news even fake news we want to believe.
Saying we’ve had a fairly decent sized trials already and the current response is directly in line with what the trials showed. I think it’s pretty safe to assume that things will go in line, at least mostly, with the trials.
A mild fever the next day will count as a health impact event. Which is very common with all vaccines. Until details of what they are reporting it’s safe to assume it’s normal next day vaccine icky feelings. Vaccines cause immune responses. Immune responses tend to make you fatigued and not feel great. That normally only lasts a day or two with a vaccine.

The problem is the deadline we are on. President is more important. Reps can be recalled and special elections take place. If Biden gets in on the 20th all of that is out of the question. We must focus on the executive branch first.
