The Coronavirus thread

Quote: Evenbob

Update. The woman in my wife's van that was
vaxxed and got covid that I reported was off
the respirator is back on it again. I'm very
low on the fam update info chain so I'm
always the last to know what's going on.
I believe she had the Astra Zenica vaccine.

If she’s an American, it is HIGHLY UNLIKELY she had the Astra Zenica vaccine.

Just another aspect of this fake story that doesn’t add up.

Do you even conditional, bruh?

Hey, I already said we could quit as we won't agree on certain points. But you added a point I wanted to address. But I don't know that we're getting any where.

So, don't say anything interesting.

At least you'll be one of the few people to ever accuse me of saying something interesting.

They even closed the liquor stores at one point, but pulled back on that, because it was just causing people to go out of state instead---which, for some capricious reason, they REALLY didn't want. As if there's more Covid magically by virtue of the fact that one has crossed state lines. Laughable.

I remember seeing lines at the local State Store. You would have thought Prohibition had just ended, hadn't seen them that long since I was a kid and it was "Soviet Style" and you had to order at a counter no self-serve.

You're welcome! (you're probably looking for a thank you button)

With the covid surge in full swing, I wonder how well the hospitals in Las Vegas will fare if it really gets bad?

I ask because from what I've read the health care system in sin city is pretty lousy, especially for seniors (at least when compared to cities like LA and San Francisco.

As one who has used many aspects of the health care system and hospitals, I don't think it is bad. My guess is it is ranked low per capita, but probably better than 90% of the small towns across America.

I think it has its issues due to the transient nature of the city. OTOH I believe the casinos helped give it backbone back to the mafia days knowing that was good for business.

I take this to mean she is using supplemental oxygen, not intubated?

I meant to say ventilator not respirator. Her blood oxygen level is dangerously low again.

This just never ends. I reported last week that to my brother in law in Florida had a heat stroke mowing his lawn we give him a heart attack and he died in the hospital a few hours later. My wife was on the phone tonight to his widow and it turns out she now has covid. She is vaccinated. She figured she got from waiting in the emergency room waiting area for treatment for her husband. Even though everybody there was wearing a mask. So not only does she have to grieve for her husband now she's scared to death because she has covid. I can't even imagine what's going to happen when the schools start opening next week and in the weeks following. Most colleges start up the third week of August.
