By Vini.lad Go To PostI'm not anti vaccine btw. I just had higher hopes but if you guys say 90% is good, then it's fine.Aye, the 1/10000 side effects of the Pandemrix still echoes in my mind, but it's a calculated risk some must take I guess.
I will take anything that is approved by the competent public agency.
D.-..... doctors?

UK has passed 50k deaths. None of those morans in europe have got that far. Imagine what the number will be once we're out from under the thumb of the bureaucrats.

By batong_doicare Go To PostI'm not sure Excel can handle that numberFortunately I have just set up a company that can make a spreadsheet system capable of handling that number and I can let Boris have it for £76m with a delivery date yet to be decided. But it definitely exists and works.

By DY_nasty Go To PostAre hospitals stuffed to the brim or nah
Based on the below, not really (switch states as needed):
https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-states-of-america/new-york
It's quite regional, but the number of cases and hospitalizations keep increasing. There are a number of cities reporting ICUs filled to or nearing capacity, and more than that, a shortage of staff to deal with the patients.
Cancel your Thanksgiving and Christmas plans, this shit isn't going away.

I mean, yeah.... plague
but is there anything close to another equipment/manpower/space shortage on the horizon?

You put COVID together with a typical flu season, hospitals might be fucked. And I saw a take on Twitter from I don't know who earlier that raised the point in that unlike when shit was hitting the fan in NY and NJ in March and April, the rest of the country was largely untouched and could send people or equipment to NY/NJ to help fight it. Now? The outbreak is widespread, flu season is also upon us, cities will be on their own.
Intensive care units in the Twin Cities are nearing a "dangerous shortage" in beds, according to Governor Tim Walz.
The Minnesota Department of Health reported intensive care units in the metro are at 97% capacity.
"This is a time to be very concerned," said Helen Strike, president at Allina Health's Regina and River Falls hospitals. Strike is also the co-lead for the state's Critical Care Coordination Center, which helps find available beds in Minnesota's ICUs.
Strike said hospitals normally operate at 80-85% capacity and occasionally get close to 90% during flu season.
"Right now, the hospital capacity across Minnesota is at some of its highest levels ever," Strike said. "The situation is mounting. We do have capacity issues, we are taking longer to place patients and more patients are coming into our hospitals with COVID-19 than ever before. You can imagine that it’s exhausting that when you are having to call five or six or seven different hospitals before there's a bed available for the ICU patient and sometimes it's more than that."

By Laboured Go To Postit's gonna be great.
Listen, euro-trash, don't weigh in on American shit you can't possibly understand.
Anyway, in recent COVID news
Fuck.
in good news our government just bought 1 million Oxford vaccines to be delivered ASAP (our entire population is around 4 million people), so Ima pray those results get released soon
Stephanie Deer watched in horror as a doctor tearfully told her they were unable to help her sister who had suffered a heart attack.
With 206 COVID-19 patients hospitalized statewide at the time, the doctor said they were unable to give her sister the timely care she needed. It was three hours before the 47-year-old was admitted to a critical care unit.
She later died.
"My sister did not have COVID and her death, in large part, was caused by COVID," Deer said Thursday. "And she didn't have the infection.
"When a doctor looks you in the face and they're in tears telling you that they can't get critical care for your family member — I feel like people need to know that," she added. "I don't want anyone to go through what my family's going through — what (my sister's) 9-year-old son is going through."
Awful stuff and it's just beginning. We need to control this or this will be a regular problem.
By FortuneFaded Go To PostDespicable little cuntUh no they are actually probably essentially immune, especially if they experienced symptoms.
By diehard Go To PostUh no they are actually probably essentially immune, especially if they experienced symptoms.We don't know that yet lol wtf man
By reilo Go To PostWe don't know that yet lol wtf manAll actual evidence points to that, with there only being 1 confirmed re-infection in the U.S. and i think 24 worldwide? Not truly "immune" but pretty damn close.
I'm not saying people who have gotten over COVID owe anything to anybody and need to go out there and save the economy but to say "they are not immune" is at best.. less accurate than saying they are immune, at least if the term is being used in more of a colloquial sense and not a technical one.
If it doesn't provide an extremely high level of protection then we are fucked so let me have this
