Terrible, sad.

[it is what it is]

assume they have planned for this eventuality with 'nightingale' style hospitals/healthcare facilities they can bring online and staff as needed.

Completely avoidable.

Quote

 

An Alabama doctor watched patients reject the coronavirus vaccine. Now he’s refusing to treat them.

 

In Alabama, where the nation’s lowest vaccination rate has helped push the state closer to a record number of hospitalizations, a physician has sent a clear message to his patients: Don’t come in for medical treatment if you are unvaccinated.

Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida are looking even worse as far as number of cases/100,000 people for a 7 day average.  Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi don't look good from a death rate point of view currently.

Compounded with breakout infections in senior care facilities - who were vaxxed early on - the CDC announced a Booster plan today, for those at risk and +8 months (and J&Jers).

Ah, Republicans who push back against masks and vaccines, and are now finding themselves on ventilators, will soon be permanently silenced by six feet of earth. God sure works in wondrous ways.....

The mask and vaccine dodgers are going the way of the dinosaurs.

It seems the GOP politicians don't realize these deaths are costing them votes, as they keep on doubling down on the nothing to worry about here stance.  Every so often you may hear one of these geniuses pondering out loud "hey, why is it the Dems aren't dying from it?"  The only possible answer to that is "duhhhh....."

Darwinism is doubling down too: the virus itself can be said to be thinning the herd, and the stupidity factor causes them to eschew the precautions and prophylaxis.  The old expression is "doesn't have the sense to come in from the rain."  I wonder if the certain media outlets whose employees are (mostly) vaccinated and who enforce workplace precautions, all the while impressing upon their viewers that this virus is hoax ("you don't know what's in that vaccine!") will at some point, when all is said and done, be liable for wrongful death charges. 

Do you know what's in beer?  Or a Big Mac?  Or Coca-Cola?  And do so on . . .

In John Waynes day, he would not give a cuss,spit in the dust and say" hey ho Tonto" and ride into the sunset....or is that somebody else?

 

The chief medical officer there in US gave in depth interview CNN  and it was in depth, couple of months ago now,stated US was lacking UK figures/infections by approx 2 months  Delta      The way he himself stated was chilling to the extreme,even the newscasters were in disbelief...it can only get worse           The jabs are not working

Right, problem is that the anti-vax types are displacing people who deserve the beds; staff are overwhelmed and over worked. So it is sad and unfortunate.

These people are hopeless religious fanatics.  They are all Trump supporters and Christians, most of whom are evangelicals.  The problem is that these people deeply believe the nonsense that they will be resurrected.  When your starting position is that crazy, it easy to go on to believe other ridiculous claims like Trump won the election.  They completely lack any commitment to reality.
