VGS: Vaccine Guilt Syndrome.
The vaccinated are afraid and feel better if we were all vaccinated. So we can all suffer the same.
The vaccinated did it for selfish reasons but made it seem like they were doing it for mankind.
Kind of bit them in the ass when they can still catch and spread the virus.
Now they are angry and are looking for someone to blame besides themselves.

100% your decision, your welcome...lol
I truly try not to debate a personal decision, but people tend to role personal choice in with the debate whether the vaccine is OK or not. I like debating the vaccine, but really do not want to get into the choice side as I also don't think everyone needs to get it. If you are in the .0001% club you really do not need it. If you are 70 I would really think about it.
Its not if, but when we all get COVID, so we roll that dice either way.

Just called him. My bad. They just last night overflowed into a fourth floor,. They are over 100% capacity, and as of last night, there were by his estimates approx 58 (out of approx 160 total beds) hospitalized covid cases with another 21 in ICU (28 total ICU beds). All but one ICI unvaccinated. The 7-day average is 280 cases (out of 1301 ED visitors) confirmed in the ED, leaning heavily to with ED wait times exceeding 9 hours.
I'm not making stats say anything. Almost all of their cases are in unvaccinated people.
How are they over 100% capacity with only 58 people in 160 beds? As far as the rest, that is no worse than a weekend in Chicago.
Please read a bit more carefully. the 58 was covid alone. I'm not talking about Chicago.
You said they overflowed to 4 floors with covid patients. You said they had 160 beds and only 58 are being used. Are they mixing covid with non-covid then? Because 58/160 is far from 98 percent if that's the case.
Either way, there is no way your numbers match your previous statements....even if you add the 20+ other patients not on one of the 4 floors....

Look, what it all boils down to is those of us that don't want the jab are just asking to be left alone. Do not tell us how to live our lives (ie masks, banning us from places, or forcing the jab) The reason we feel the need to defend our position is there are those out there on the other side of this that are not content with leaving it at that and want to either force the jab or make life so unbearable you have to get it just to function day to day. And I am not saying you are one of them. If the vax works and you believe in it, fine, go get it, we are not trying to stop you from doing that. But don't force us through mandates or intimidation of losing our livelihoods and ability to enjoy life .

Can't say due to the nature of SO's employment. But try the hospitals in the Atlanta metro area, many of which are on diversion.

Avoid the government sites. They're 9-80 days behind on their reporting. And with good reason it seems.

Why would you give a link to hospitals in Atlanta that has absolutely no info on what the patients are there for?
Your buddy is in a hospital in Oregon, correct?
I live in Atlanta and am at Northside Hospital on a bi-weekly basis and have family/friends that are doctors. Neither myself nor they have seen whatever your buddy in Oregon is saying.
This is starting to sound like a bunch of BS to me.

The shot does not stop infection or transmission.
At this rate the vaccinated will be passing all the variants amongst themselves. Given enough time people will see the unvaccinated wont be the sick ones.

I'm shocked at the dimness of people. Folks don't seem to understand this is simple risk management. Old folks should get the shot. Sucks to be old, but then, be glad you made it that far, some didn't. Younger folks (under 65) aren't at a high risk for this, and a good few of them already had it, and don't want the shot. In a sane, not clown world, that's where the conversation would end.
Hope you got your big red nose while they were on sale.
But you and I know they can't... I kind of feel they are trying to convince themselves their decision not to get it is the right one more than anything else.
