Oh god it’s starting again.

I say we just move on. The toilet has been flushed. Let's not stand there thinking too long about the turds.

I saw someone take off a manhole cover which allowed a giant plume of raw sewage to blast high into the air with a mighty roar, and then I watched the detritus come crashing back down into to the sewers from whence it came. It was neat.

Well, that was fun to watch play out. LOL Hope everyone else had fun with the experiment too.

It's hard to say what the experience very early on means in the bigger picture. We knew basically nothing about the virus. There were stories out of NYC of doctors venting basically every COVID patient who walked in the door early on. A lot has changed since then. If hospitals are STILL getting "overwhelmed" now that means they did not take the proper precautions to prepare and instead tried to cut corners and downsize because they were losing money when there were no patients. Now they are scrambling with a huge influx of delayed elective procedures, RSV, and COVID. That means they are run by penny-pinching morons, not that the virus is outrageously severe in that locale. People keep making this mistake when looking at the hospital data and the media pumps it up because fear sells.

Many hospitals closed wards and reduced staff during the very slow time in the spring, and now they are paying for that in some cases and having to scramble. During this entire pandemic, people have been trying to claim that business decisions made by the hospital administrations are strongly correlated to COVID spread and severity. Some hospitals are just grossly mismanaged and always have very long ER waits and wards bursting at capacity.

People keep assuming I live at the Hermit Lake snow plot site. LOL

Yep, been hearing that since March of 2020. Like I said, get the field hospital set up and pay the nurses more so they stay, if it's that much of an issue. But neither of those things will happen and the media will just suddenly stop talking about it. Just like last year.

They need a hospital ship, for sure.

Let's hope for a repeat!

I keep saying it... only 45 deaths from Delta under the age of 50 in the UK.

What is it with people who lurk and barely ever contribute randomly popping in just to announce that they don't approve of what everyone else is posting and that the thread should be shut down before disappearing again for 2 months? Happens all the time in the MA subforum too. It's weird, man.

They have implemented actual vaccine passport systems in Europe. Hasn't happened here yet. It was those systems that triggered the biggest recent protests. They have been met with brutal crackdowns and arrests by the vaxx patrol.

We heard all this last year. Let's get the field hospitals set up and then close them down after seeing zero patients.

Has anyone ever seen a photograph from inside an "overwhelmed hospital" in the US since March 2020?

Very old and sick vaccinated people are starting to become infected and die now. It'll take time for some to accept that. Israel already figured it out, but the denial is stronger here due to politics.

Which virus is less deadly for school-age kids for which we mandate vaccines? Not the flu, we know that.

Twisted, nasty guy. Been that way for years. Definitely a bratty sub for mommy dom government.

The vaxxers are getting real nasty now. It's only going to get worse as the news gets worse and worse headed into fall. Buckle up.

LOL Millennials quit their jobs over the business having the wrong kind of sodas in the break room fridge. This reason seems at least as valid as that.

So when I stop posting you just start flipping out on the next guy?

LOL This is an incredibly bad take. Americans are way more into hygiene than Europe, for example.

Ask some of them about the anthrax vaccine.

LOL clearly you are not familiar with the US military. Putting service members in harm's way to meet some new BS standard is par for the course.

I think I said something mean to him 4 years ago on the politics forum and he’s still big mad.
