So you’re going to triple down on the misinformation by posting stuff you heard and haven’t even bothered to source in the most basic level? _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

The bull (bleep) you post on the subject is actually starting to piss me off because it's so irresponsible. Why are you this way? _________________ http://chickhearn.ytmnd.com/

Did you read the article? Or just the headline? Because nowhere did they say they want to "lock" results for 50 years.
Did you read my post or just Karen out?
You come in here asking some stupid ass question, when the answer was right there. No, they aren't locking anything for fifty years. They said they will release 500 of the 392000 pages they are requesting a month. They have to go through each page and redact things like trade secrets, etc. Now that you got your question answered. Kindly go and (bleep) yourself.

I guess nobody knows for sure, but what would you guess triple Pfizer’s percentage protection against Omicron INFECTION is? 50%? Starting to think we’re all going to get it. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

Maybe instead of adding to the speculation and COVID panic you could find some legitimate statistics to post? This thread is already full up on opinions based on feelings. It would be more helpful to have some back-up information. Thanks.
In any case, all the vaccines+boosters are still preventing more serious hospitalization and death, even for Omicron. Most of the people dying are the unvaccinated.
So I woke up New Years Day feeling a little woozy and dizzy.
Thought it was from the few drinks I had.. but the feeling lasted throughout the day.
And to be honest I am STILL feeling a bit lightheaded. I don't have any other symptoms, but right now, trying to get tested is next to impossible. The soonest available test in my area is on Saturday. Smh _________________ "Dread it, run from it... destiny arrives all the same."

I’ve been trying everywhere to get ANY covid test (PCR, antigen, whatever) and they’re completely booked everywhere (Santa Clarita area). This is ridiculous. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

That's the route I decided to go this weekend after a possible exposure in our household. I "did my own research" ( ) online and BinaxNOW seems to be the most commonly recommended so I ordered 6 sets of 2 tests each. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

I don’t care what the rationalization is behind treating anti-vaxxers suffering the effects of COVID ahead of patients who are dying if other diseases is, but it’s absolute (bleep).
There are so many stories of things like this happening ... unvaccinated people taking up beds for months while people die in hallways or can't get treatment. Honestly, we need to set up triage areas outside of hospitals for unvaccinated and that's where they get their minimal treatment. Leave the hospitals to the people who took this pandemic seriously.
Friend of mine who's an ER nurse in the greater Seattle area says his hospital is reducing elective cases by 50% tomorrow and likely by end of week they'll be halting all elective cases. Apparently there are zero beds in the area and people are being treated in ER hallways and waiting rooms.

Might take some creativity.
Many months ago my son, who is going to school in the midwest, couldn't find a test anywhere when it was spiking there. We had to send him one from here. I think that's when we decided to keep some on hand. (Gave one to my sister last week. And I used one myself prior to my unvaxxed in-laws coming to town.)
In OC, they were handing them out free at the airport a couple weeks ago and you could also order a free one online if you live in OC, as well. Don't know what other counties are doing.

This is actually a very big deal, because "elective cases" doesn't just refer to boob jobs and things like that. For example, it includes delaying things like mastectomies that can be delayed for a few weeks. But those delays statistically will result in higher mortality rates.

And many elective surgeries are meant for pain reduction or mobility issues. So people are forced to endure those conditions for longer than necessary because some people are too selfish to do the simple things required to reduce the spike. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

Well school is back in session tomorrow here. Orange County Florida schools are requiring staff members to wear masks but they can’t legally require students to wear masks because of DeathSantis. So my wife will be wearing a KN95, but I’d be shocked if 50% of her students wear masks. My daughter is also returning to in person school from the virtual school she was attending. We set this in motion before Omicron was a thing and it was too late to go back. She’s vaccinated, but who knows how many of her classmates are. She will be wearing a KN95, but again masks aren’t required so who knows about other kids. Also she has to take the mask off eat lunch, and since Omicron doesn’t take lunch breaks I’m not sure how she avoids bringing it home.
I wouldn’t be too concerned about any of this since both my wife and I are boosted and daughter is freshly vaccinated, but we also have an 8 month old that obviously isn’t vaccinated. I worry about giving it to her, but also worry how the hell we’ll coordinate caring for her if say my wife gets infected or 8 year old gets infected.
