    Do you wonder this as Dr Fauci et al are serving at the pleasure of Pfizer and other drug manufacturers?

    So, basically do nothing to protect them.

    The claim was that they are somehow being protected by DeSantis and I wanted to know how its possible in a setting where you are surrounded by lot of people (offices, schools etc).

    Lot of offices mandate masks, and I think that's pretty much all they can do, other than letting high risk people work from home.

    US hospitalizations reach record high

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/me...tions-reach-record-high/ar-AASCj89?li=BBnb7Kz
    U.S. hospitalizations have reached a record high with more than 141,000 Americans now in hospitals with COVID-19, according to data from the Department of Health and Human Services.

    It's not clear how many of these patients were admitted to the hospital for COVID-19 and how many people tested positive for the virus after they were admitted for other reasons.

    About 25.3% of U.S. hospitals with available data are reporting critical staffing shortages.

    In the last week, the U.S. has reported nearly 4.7 million new COVID-19 cases -- the highest weekly case number on record, according to federal data.

    “Currently hospitalized” has or will soon reach a record high, thus, surpass 132,000.

    By the way, your theory of a new Covid correlations are forthcoming.

    Before Omicron

    a. An increase in positivity rates = an increase in daily cases

    b. An increase in daily cases = an increase in new admissions

    c. An increase in new admissions =an increase in currently hospitalized

    d. An increase in currently hospitalized = increases the percentage of patients on ventilators and in ICUs

    e. An increase in said percentages = an increase in Covid deaths

    And then, said correlations have reversed in same order.

    However, with Omicron, we might see an (a.b.c.d.e.) invert correlation(s).

    No, it’s not. Why is it that the left feels like nothing is being done unless they go 100% fascist?
    Vaccines are available - check.
    Tests available - check.
    Masks are available - check.
    Treatment available - check.

    What else do you need?

    We can’t live in a perpetual state of fear, or sacrifice some human experiences in the name of keeping us safe.
    Freedom of being in charge of our own destiny is extremely important for our psychological well-being. We can’t rely on authorities to keep us safe and healthy in our everyday lives. If we do, then when the authorities commit an error in judgement we won’t even have basic instincts guiding us through uncertain situations to keep us safe. Getting aids via unprotected anal sex is a civil right, just like getting covid is a civil right. There should be no vaccine and mask mandates.

    What I meant is since election year 2020/Pandemic we had a huge surge of non-believers, mainly people who just won’t acknowledge the facts. In several forums, X number of posters are constantly Googling the world in an effort to find something that would invalidate a fact that contradicts their opinions and beliefs.

    The technology had to be created for self-evaluating Covid tests.

    Dude, so many people are saying let's alleviate the strain on hospital resources because of this pandemic. What do they actually do, though? They put further strains on the hospital system with their pandemic rules, testing and hospital procedures.

    This is misinformation because the investigation of the 2020 presidential election was obstructed. Besides, I think free and fair elections are a pretty big deal. Also, the 2020 presidential election turned on the close call of a few states for Biden.

    You jumped off your rocking chair too quickly.

    Here’s an example of people who just won’t acknowledge the facts;

    Poster John Doe stated the following; “Compared to other variants, Omicron’s symptoms are significantly more FLU-ish”

    Same poster also denied the fact that the number of children hospital’s admissions has steadily increased.

    Well, Mr. John Doe, the reason why the number of children hospital’s admissions has steadily increased is because Omicron’s symptoms are significantly more FLU-ish.....Duh!

    Note; John Doe has actually denied logic and common sense.

    Europe expects 50% of their population will have been infected soon, which would put them close to herd immunity. Unfortunately the natural immunity wanes quick, so we can only hope the mild variant sticks around to boost the immunity from time to time.

    My unvaccinated friend was down for 4 weeks and is now recovering, and his doctor says he absolutely should take the vaccine even though he had the virus already.


    U.S. reports record 1.3M Covid cases in a day as hospitalizations soar

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/u...s-hospitalizations-soar/ar-AASF4vp?li=BBnb7Kz
    The seven-day average for cases in the U.S. also reached its highest point yet on Monday, hitting an average of 740,594 cases per day, with 24 states reporting their highest 7-day average of all time.

    The record-high numbers came as Covid hospitalizations in the U.S. also soared, with the seven-day average for hospitalizations reaching 135,574 on Monday, up 83.1 percent in the last two weeks.

    Anticipated response from the non-believers;

    MSN????????

    In other words, will the non-believers acknowledge the fact that we currently have a record high number of Covid hospitalized patients?

    Absolutely not!

    MSN.Com, like Google News don't provide content, they only provide links to content provided by others. Anyone can google for their own info. The link I provided points to NBC source. Readers are also free to assume they are just making it up.

    I Google Carlson’s Hospitalization Data, thus, State’s reported data, and Carlson excludes suspected and probable, thus, only lab confirmed Covid patients.

    Currently hospitalized; Minimum 120,000, thus, a near record high.

    You 135K includes both lab-confirmed and suspected/probable

    Non-Covid tested Emerg patients, no different than any other sicknesses/illnesses, internal injuries, and other medical conditions.....suspected/probable until confirmed.

    I don't know if they "suspect" someone has Covid after they test positive. They pretty much know at that point.

    What we have is a pandemic of drug test subjects injected with experimental and dangerous shots. The shots are so dangerous that insurance companies are seeing a 40% increase in deaths from all causes in their policy holders.

    Just curious if you mean to say that an insurance company HAS NOT seen a dramatic increase in deaths from all causes amongst its policy holders?
