What does any of that mean?

You're talking about "aren't thinking" but most of your posts just involve nebulous throw away phrases like "People have immunity"... clearly you know that phrase doesn't mean anything right?

In the meantime we can all see for ourselves actual impact, real things, in areas where vaccination rates are low. These aren't nebulous concepts like your phrases, they're real.

Real things? Please point to the real things.

Case numbers! Case numbers! Hospital rates are NEARLY at capacity!!!!

Yeah that has been said over and over. Things are fine.

Go outside of the city, noone respects this stuff and hasn't the whole time, noone is dying more than usual.

Worry about cars and obesity if you want to make a difference.

:/

just because rural folks don’t care the hospital is full doesn’t mean the hospital isn’t full

Not at all what I said. The hospital isn't full. Show me a single hospital that is OVER or AT capacity.

All the fear mongering articles say is the ICU is at 90%~

They are always around that number. Show me the percentage of covid patients in that ICU. Show me the normal number of the ICU.

Worry about obesity if you want to stop the number one and two killers of humans and relieve our healthcare system.

Can you just go to r/nursing and read the 100x stories of nurses saying "I'm actually not an ICU nurse but my floor has been converted to an ICU floor" or "We have 4 nurses for 30 covid patients and I want to scream"?

Anecdotes on Reddit. Great source.

Don't believe anything you read on Reddit, especially anecdotes.

Maybe go to your local hospital and ask then among their own nursing social circles? They're the people who would have first-hand understanding of how full the ICUs are.

I'm not saying I believe everything I read on Reddit, but I know r/nursing is a longtime subreddit of mostly medical people and has a history of being as such for a long time. If I wanted to know what the actual medical field is dealing with day to day, I think a community with a history of being where healthcare people talk about what they're dealing with day to day is a pretty good bet.

I have been to the hospital 3 times already and it's fine. My sister is a nurse and she hasn't had a covid patient in over a month.

I guess Reddit only gets one type of anecdote. I doubt the other side gets voted up and probably even removed.

Are you saying "Case numbers! Case numbers! Hospital rates are NEARLY at capacity!!!!" isn't real?
