The COVID-19 Thread and Hypothetical Boxing Predictions

[Neodogg]

Covid cases are up in Michigan in general and my county. The infection control RN at work pleaded with everyone to wear masks and be careful while out celebrating New Year's last night. One of the CNAs posted pictures, of herself, and several other CNAs, kissing guys, and each other, at a bar. Hot, but also not very smart.

Pics or it didn't happen...

Oh, it happened, but, I'm not sharing those photos of said young ladies here because some of you horny fooks can't be trusted with stimulating imagery like that.

 

[Lagduf]

People who don’t have their social media set to private are dumb.

More media scaremongering

From infants to teens, this hospital has a deluge of young Covid-19 patients. Here's what parents want others to know | CNN

A 4-month-old baby with Covid-19 is struggling to breathe. A teenager with Covid-19 is in a medically induced coma, unaware she gave birth to her new daughter 10 weeks early.

Glad you're finally calling it what it is

I'm sure those two stories were just a completely random sample from all of the pediatric covid cases at that hospital and certainly not the cherry picked two worst cases.

Certainly not.

 

[StevenK]

All I see from that story is fat people are more likely to be fucked by covid, in kids carry out targeted vaccinations.

@norton9478 Turn off the CNN for a bit and watch Joe Rogan interview Dr Robert Malone.

Sounds like a real jack-off fest.

I'm hoping this burns out quickly now. Hopefully in the next few months.
With Omnicorn displacing delta and being highly contagious everybody gets infected/vaccinated and we finally get that herd immunity to make it manageable.
Sounds less serious so maybe a few hundred thousand more people will die versus millions to get there.
Would have been nice if everybody just did what they were supposed to and it didn't spread in the first place.
Several antivirals were approved in the last few months but it sounds like they haven't reached hospitals yet.
That should help lower the mortality rate.

I got my booster and a flu shot today.

That's the sensationalist media for you. They never seem to interview the pediatric hospital physicians that aren't stressed out about an influx of cases.

Just a non scientific observation from my workplace, everyone (team of 5) apart from me has caught Covid in December or January. It’s never happened like that before, this variant moves fast.

I’ve either been lucky not to get it or I’m asymptomatic (had my 3 jags).

Someone at work needed their teenage daughter to go to hospital on Christmas eve (it’s okay, she’s now fine). Might have been delta given a otherwise healthy 14/15 year old should be okay, but she hadn’t been vaccinated yet.

Pittsburgh never got the memo, even going back to summer 2020 when the largest local hospital system kept saying they were prepared and that people should not defer hospital care. But of course how NYC goes, so goes the USA, right?

UPMC Children’s Hospital opens second COVID-19 unit as precaution

As more children are being hospitalized nationwide with COVID-19, UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh has taken a precautionary step.

And remember when norton and wataru screeched about MIS-C everytime someone played down the severity of pediatric cases?

Doctors expected MIS-C cases to surge after the delta wave. They didn't.

The delta variant caused Covid cases in children to skyrocket, putting pediatricians on high alert for a rise in a rare inflammatory condition.

Cool...cool, cool, cool.

 

[lithy]

Also, the increase in infection rate with cold/flu symptoms or even less than that is leading to a increasing capture of people hospitalized for completely other issues and then classified as 'hospitalizations WITH covid'. It tells us nothing about the severity of illness.

Our Most Reliable Pandemic Number Is Losing Meaning

A new study suggests that almost half of those hospitalized with COVID-19 have mild or asymptomatic cases.

It's over norton. Has been for a year, but the tortured mental wrangling that some people will have to go through to plead permission from their government to return (or be told) to go back to life as normal is going to get funnier, if only it weren't so pathetic, the longer it goes on.

For nearly 2 years it's been lockdown after lockdown, decimation of the local and hence national economy and fostered a toxic social situation. Now the tables have turned, no more lockdowns and a 'live with it' agenda. What a rollercoaster... Can I just go back to 2019 please?

An interesting takeaway.

But following that delta-driven surge, "there are fewer cases than we would expect," said Dr. Roberta DeBiasi, chief of infectious diseases at Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C.

She suspects the shifting trend could be due, in part, to vaccination.

"The time that delta was dominant also happened to coincide with when we had a lot of kids vaccinated," DeBiasi said.

Yet many of the worst performing districts like Pittsburgh and Wilkinsburg are in the top ten (maybe even top five, too last to look) in per-student spending in the state Shouldn't the districts with the worst pupil performance receive the most funding?

My work is definitely feeling the “labor shortage.” We just upped everyone’s pay $1.50 and have a referral program where you get $250 if you refer some who is hired and they work for 30 days and then another $250 if they stay on 60 and 90 days (so total $750.) This is for entry level work...

So, back at work today, the consensus was that we're probably going to have to continue wearing masks at the nursing home after Tuesday anyway. Blah.

Kids are getting wrekt by delta. Children’s Hospital had zero cases last week. this week, every covid bed is full. no article to site; just heard it on 1060 KYW News Radio in Philly.

Is that enough for now?

You mean the guy from News Radio?
What does he have a TV show or something?

None of them actually apply specifically apply to Kawasaki Disease
Though I could have included it.

And none of them are particularly alarmist.

If a patient is covid positive, then there are additional resource draining protocols.

Accepting on face value that you weren't at all thinking about MIS-C or Kawasaki Disease (I don't) when you made those posts, what pediatric covid side effects were you thinking about?

I also have no idea what the 'CSA delta fiasco' is/was and Google can offer no insight, so you'll have to use a little more detail there. Community Supported Agriculture? Customer Service Agent? Delta covid variant? Delta Airlines?

Some may be associated with MIS-C, some may not.

The threat of covid to kids is real whether or not you want to admit it.

And for the record, I put my unvaccinated 4 year old on a bus every morning to go to a public elementary school where she is surrounded with unvaccinated kids.

I totally have the option of not doing so. I could keep her home.
