On another forum I frequent, a person who is a life flight (helicopter) EMT staffer posted the following (and for the record, he lives in my state; I've met him in real life):
‘No One Is Listening to Us’
More people than ever are hospitalized with COVID-19. Health-care workers can’t go on like this.
www.theatlantic.com
Bad news first:
But the good part:
The article also talks about intubation, CVVH, and proning critical patients. We flew someone prone not too long ago and between everything going on, there was at least 30 people involved between us and the two hospitals to ensure this person was transferred as smooth as possible. 30 people dedicated to 1 patient. It took us an hour at each facility to make the transition.
Utah is reporting people trying to get into the ICUs with cameras to "prove" they aren't full with Covid cases. The staff is also reporting a few phone calls with people claiming the hospital isn't really full and the Covid cases aren't real. Every minute spent dealing with those people are minutes not being spent with patients, charting, or even being able to eat or go to the bathroom.
In addition to the stress Covid is continuing to place on our hospitals, it is now the leading cause of line of duty death for first responders, bypassing heart attacks and accidents.
COVID-19 increases line-of-duty deaths

Russian Covid vaccine shows encouraging results
The full trial results have not yet been published, but scientists welcomed the positive news.

On Governor Witchmore's new lock down based on what the "reputable scientists" say...
Politicians chose their "reputable scientists" the exact same way they choose their prostitutes.
They pay the ones who will do or say what they want.

This is not just idiocy, it is dangerous idiocy.
Most of the country is in the middle of a serious spike in cases, hospitalizations, and deaths. And not just us, many other countries are facing spikes too. The common denominator is that the places where it was taken the least seriously in the summer and early fall are the places facing the biggest upswings, like my own state of Indiana. Places that kept a lid on things are doing relatively well.
It's not even winter yet, but it's shaping up to be a rough one.

Here is a good, non-sensational article on the state of affairs.
apnews.com
Note that many of the highly rural areas have the worst infection rates, while areas that were slammed over the summer (Tx, Fl, Ca) are doing relatively well.
Governors ratchet up restrictions ahead of Thanksgiving
From California to Pennsylvania, governors and mayors across the U.S. are ratcheting up COVID-19 restrictions amid the record-shattering resurgence of the virus that is all but certain to get worse because of holiday travel and family gatherings over Thanksgiving.

Good interview with Bill Gates. I know he triggers some of you guys for some reason. Enjoy!

Bill Gates says he doesn't understand anti-maskers: 'What are these, like, nudists?'
On Bill Gates and Rashida Jones' new podcast, he said: "We ask you to wear pants ... Very few Americans say that that's, like, some terrible thing."

Our Governor, who just last week issued stay at home advisories for 30 days, shut down indoor dining and activities, etc, is planning his family's Thanksgiving at one of his mansions in Florida. Shaking my head once again at the hypocrisy. You can't celebrate Thanksgiving. Only he can.

Our leaders should lead by example, for sure, demonstrating prudent choices and emphasizing public safety. Unfortunately too many on both sides of the spectrum think they are above it all.

So will your man Harris/Biden "listen to the science" and issue a national stay home/mask mandate?
..... or was that just another "campaign' lie?

Chicago mayor Larry Lightweight out galavanting over the weekend, while telling everyone that Thanksgiving is cancelled and we all have to do our part. F'in hypocrites.
At least most Republican leaders are not preaching to the least vulnerable to lock themselves in your basement and cower in fear.

He started by describing his fact based approach for figuring out his personal Thanksgiving. That's a good start. The rest, we'll just have to wait and see.

Prediction: Biden will take credit for defeating Covid after it fizzles out shortly after he takes office. He will credit his mask wearing mandates and lockdowns. Just like what happened with Cuomo.

Says he doesnt understand anti-maskers - "We ask you to wear pants. No American says, or very few Americans say, that that's like some terrible thing."
I mean thats no big deal right?....
- We ask you not to own bazookas so I dont get why its a problem if we take your handguns with more than 10 bullets away
- We ask you not to shout 'fire" in a crowded theater, so whats the big deal when we censor you for voicing your opinion on the lie of BLM or critical race theory
- We ask you to pay more for cars with low emission equipment and condemn cheap fossil fuel power generation, so whats the problem with us mandating the elimination of combustion engines, mandating solar panels, and taxing you to combat "climate change"
Ol Bill has become an all knowing elitist that knows whats good for me,.
