MAGAs have always been and will always be the OG anti-vaxxers.  No half hearted attempt at a pivot now will change that.

Everyone on this board has been cheering on the vax and I am glad Pfizer produced one independent of the gov.  I'm glad Moderna did it with gov help.  If it ends the pandemic I certainly won't forget it was done while DJT was in office.  Whether it was with him or despite him.

Remember the HCQ?

This board is comprised of about 8 to 10 weirdos.   :lol: :lol:

A BidenVoter Leader which SFB BidenVoter just loves is openly lobbying other BidenVoter Gubs to stall the distribution of the vaccine.

There's hours upon hours of audio/video montages available of BidenVoter Leadership and BidenVoter Mouthpieces talking crap all over the vaccine dating back to last Spring.     :frown: :frown: :frown:

Sedgwick Co was still looking for volunteers for a chip trial. I applied yesterday.  :crossfingers: If accepted I'll probably get the damn placebo.

I'm just going to go all out on COVID today and then get off of Facebook for a while. Do you all know my new(ish) job? Hi, I'm the night shift House Sup at Wesley in Wichita. Basically at night I'm the highest ranking admin person in the building. It's fun. I deal with beds and staffing and upset patients and hospital drama. I spend a lot of time... like... A LOT of time... staring at our bed tracker board as we figure out where to put patients. Usually its a game of these people were discharged from med surg so we can move these over from ICU so we can admit these from the ER. Easy peasy, right? Except right now there are just no beds. COVID patients are staying over twice the length of an average, comparable illness. (Guys. there are no comparable illnesses. The next person to tell me its like the flu is getting blocked.) They never leave, meaning we don't have beds for the new ones, meaning they are stacking up in the ER, meaning people coming in to be seen have insane wait times. There are nights that it feels like the only way we are getting new ICU beds is when someone else dies. Alone except for whatever nurse is with them. And its not just impacting COVID patients, which no one seems to understand. We are still getting heart attacks, strokes, traumas, bad UTIs with sepsis and ruptured appendix needing surgery. Those people are also having to wait for beds, or to be even seen. And my ER staff is PHENOMINAL at triaging and seeing people in the best order for all involved, but we are literally running our 28 bed ER out of 1-3 beds some nights because of the backlog of patients. Nurses are running ragged, our doctors are trying to see people in the waiting room.  (Side note: Please don't come to the ER unless you absolutely have to. Urgent cares are still open... please use them if you can. But come in if you need to, we will get to you I promise).
And I'm going to tell you what's been bothering me the most this week as I read comments on news articles.  One common comment is how "No one is talking about how we are filling the beds up with people from out of town."
Umm. No. We have dramatically decreased the number of out of town admits we accept for weeks now, some days we accept none. We flat out haven't had the bed capacity to do so. And what people don't realize is the system is set up for us to accept those people. Wesley and Via Christi... we are the main hospital support system for most of Kansas. Dodge, Garden, Mound Ridge, Winfield... add in some of Northern Oklahoma while you are at it. They have small hospitals designed to stabilize and ship critical patients. Currently, they have no place to ship them too. No beds for when specialists need to see patients, no cath labs for when someone is having a heart attack, often no beds for when a farm accident happens and a trauma needs surgery. People are going to be dying (if they haven't already) in small town Kansas because big city Kansas is overrun with COVID patients. And as someone who adores small town Kansas, this is breaking my heart.
I'll add one more thing: Patients who get exposed to COVID over Thanksgiving are going to start gettting sick 4-7 days later. Usually takes 5-7 days for it to be bad enough to be admitted. We fight for them for another couple of weeks... and then 10% are dying. TL:DR People getting sick at Thanksgiving are going to die Christmas week. Please don't make my nurses spend their Christmas week holding your loved one's hand as they die.

Covid set to break America's best-prepared hospital?

https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/11/americas-best-prepared-hospital-nearly-overwhelmed/617156/?fbclid=IwAR35GNAtr1nfdk4bWgvvyBdfRbiXrMFXuagHhKVdM0hcM4XNCDFvYMuV6IU

Cawcutt knows what’s coming. Throughout the pandemic, hospitalizations have lagged behind cases by about 12 days. Over the past 12 days, the total number of confirmed cases in Nebraska has risen from 82,400 to 109,280. That rise represents a wave of patients that will slam into already beleaguered hospitals between now and Thanksgiving. “I don’t see how we avoid becoming overwhelmed,” says Dan Johnson, a critical-care doctor. People need to know that “the assumption we will always have a hospital bed for them is a false one.”

What makes this “nightmare” worse, he adds, “is that it was preventable.” The coronavirus is not unstoppable, as some have suggested and as New Zealand, Iceland, Australia, and Hong Kong have resoundingly disproved—twice. Instead, the Trump administration never mounted a serious effort to stop it. Whether through gross incompetence or deliberate strategy, the president and his advisers left the virus to run amok, allowed Americans to get sick, and punted the consequences to the health-care system. And they did so repeatedly, even after the ordeal of the spring, after the playbook for controlling the virus became clear, and despite months of warnings about a fall surge.

Suspect source of anecdotal evidence, talked to a guy living in Wisconsin and he said some younger individuals want to get it so they can donate plasma at 400$ a pop.

Can you really get $400?!

This is definitely for the best. Kind of like when you send your kids out to play when big decisions are made around the dining room table.

A buddy got married in OK last weekend, 100ish people, inside. I did not go (wasn't even invited  :frown: ) but it looks like a couple of people I know who went came down with the rona afterwards.

I was talking with my friend who was going before he left and we had this convo

"Probably not a good idea to go with the rona virus and all"

"Yeah but I'm a groomsman so I have to go"

He got sick right after coming back, got tested once and it came back negative but he's getting tested again because he still feels like crap and some of our other friends tested positive.
