I am missing this. I understand that the local hospital is probably near full with Covid patients. But The Sharon is a theater. It only has people in it when it has performances........

Is this supposed to mean something?

Or they mean The Sharon Morse building located very near the hospital; they are separate organizations.

The OP said "NEAR" capacity and it may not be nonsense. The first data is two weeks old. The second article more recent. I'd guess it's up a bit by now.

UF Health-The Villages Hospital is nearly at capacity due to the spread of COVID-19.

From the "unmentionable" website:

“We’ve seen a tremendous increase to the point that just about every available room in the hospital is being used,” said Villager Gary Kadow, a chaplain at the hospital who also serves on the foundation board. “We have quite a few people on ventilators.” He made the remarks Friday at the Community Development District 5 Board of Supervisors meeting. He serves as the board’s chairman.Kadow said the Delta Variant is spreading like Chicken Pox. And it’s the unvaccinated members of the public who are being infected.“A very, very high percentage (of the people admitted at the hospital) have not had the vaccine. If there is something that can help, I don’t know why you wouldn’t take advantage of it,” Kadow said. Fellow CDD 5 Supervisor Reed Panos, who spent his career as a surgeon, offered a dire warning.

“There will be more. We are not looking at the end of this for many years. It’s a travesty,” he said.

Meanwhile, Community Development District 8 Supervisor Phil Walker also indicated that the unvaccinated are putting themselves at risk.

He relayed the story of an unvaccinated couple in their 40s who caught COVID-19 when their children brought it home.

“We are in a bubble here in more ways than one,” Walker said.

And I was correcting the OP that "The Sharon" is at "full" capacity. And the "nonsense" is that this is just another post to get people riled up.......................... and it seems to be working.
Just another thread with the "who did it and ran" syndrome. :blahblahblah:

Did you personally walk around the hospital and look in patient rooms. The scam artists constantly manipulate the sheeple. Do your own investigation. Reports can be manipulated, especially when no one will be able to find out on their own.

When I entered I was informed there we’re 134 COVID cases occupying beds. Only one person was allowed to accompany me to complete paperwork, I would like for everyone to know that they handled the situation extremely well. Everyone that I encountered was very professional…

Just a silly comment from who believes we should just stay hunkered down for the short time we have left on this earth.

My guess - TV is not for you. Why did you move here? To tell others to give up and that there is no hope - and that we should aspire to live forever - by staying in isolation?

I moved here because I want to live! I moved here because I figured many / most people here were from the generation - that didn’t give up - because most of us know - there is always something ‘around the corner’ that will be the next challenge to overcome. Life is living - good and bad.

My advice - go back to the area where you are from - I think it probably suits you much better. This doesn’t sound like the place for you.

BTW - went to one of those stand alone ERs - with a knee injury - virtually empty…. I was in and out in less than an hour.

Please - again, go back to where you came from - I moved here because I know I will die (sooner than later) - but spending time with friends and meeting new people and doing fun activities is how I want to spend the sunset of my life!

My husband golfed with an ICU nurse this week and she works at hospital in The Villages. She said they have no open ICU beds and all ventilators are being used. They are having to ship people a few hundred miles to find beds for them. The unvaxed COVID patients are stretching their limits. She said she body bagged a 30 year old last week. Also said the county officials are trying to keep it all quiet so they don’t have egg on their faces. People’s health doesn’t seem to be a top priority or officials would get the word out to let people know how things are. Don’t get in an accident or have a heart attack. There are just no ICU beds.

I really don't agree that this thread was meant to be clever or humorous. The subject isn't humorous.

It is so frustrating to read exaggerated "facts" from people about Covid and blame placed incorrectly.

Anonymous people can say anything and claim anything. It is hard to find the truth even from valid sources these days.

Dick Farrel longtime conservative radio host in Florida died of COVID-19, He died on Aug. 4, after 20 days at St. Mary’s Hospital in West Palm Beach. He had refused the vaccine

In a July 3 post, Farrel asked “why take a vax promoted by people who lied 2u all along about masks, where the virus came from and the death toll?”

On June 30, he described the pandemic as a “SCAM DEMIC.”

On June 27, he wrote, “so you wanna take the Poison Pfizer and Moderna and J & J are peddling? have all you want. I know I don’t need it nor ever Will.”

Farrel called Dr. Anthony Fauci a “power tripping lying freak.

On July 2, Farrel described the Delta variant as “another avalanche of Footchi bull shif.”

On July 3, Farrel referred to him as “FOOT-chee,”

Now I have absolutely no problem with his views and though I do not want to see anyone die. What irritates me is that when he got sick he went to the hospital endangering the lives of the staff and their families, using resources that might have been needed for a child under the age of 12 who are not eligible to get the vaccine or someone with a weak immune system. He was an adult he exercised his constitutional rights not to take the shot. As the old saying goes, “He made his bed now he should lie in it” and as far as I’m concerned that bed should have been in his home not at a hospital.

It wouldn’t matter if he walked every hallway and every room , verified the hospital was full because people will still not believe
it . Won’t be until they catch Covid will they believe it really is true and how many will be infected by unvaccinated, unmasked non believers , sadly , they are the problem with this virus spreading unmercifully.

Children make up about 2.4% of hospitalized COVID patients. Since the onset of COVID, about 400 children have died from the virus. To put that in perspective, in that same timeframe, over 70,000 children have died from other causes…

Blackbird45,

Another unvaccinated talk show host, Phil Valentine, Nashville, died of Covid yesterday.

Near the end of his life, he was sending word that he regretted not getting the vaccine and also regretted discouraging his many listeners from getting the vaccine. (I hope they are paying attention to his tragic message.)

His story is all over the news this morning.

These people did not have to die.

There is a thing that we can do to protect some of these children from the virus.
Phil Valentine and Dick Farrel not only took over beds in the hospitals, but the mere fact they were news worthy means they must have had a following. So we have no idea how many of there follower ended up in hospitals, following their lead.

It is my opinion that most of the folks hospitalized for treatment of Covid currently are the unvaccinated people. However....I think that we are all going to catch it pretty soon, vaccinated or not. Please consider getting shot if you have not done so.

OBB hates it when I link a Bing search, but sometimes it is the best way to capture a topic;

Facts have a funny way of getting in the way of some peoples narratives. Fact: hospitalizations from COVID are over 90% unvaccinated. Deaths of vaccinated from COVID is extremely rare. Children continue to have overwhelming mild cases and very rare hospitalization and almost no deaths. The original post was another attempt to shame everyone for getting on with their lives and enjoying the time we have left.

If you are not vaccinated you should get vaccinated. If you can’t take the vaccine for whatever reason you should be extremely careful and take all the precautions possible to not be exposed.

Paul Craig Roberts from the Institute for Political Economy who cites Dr. Malone as his expert and provides quotes from sources he does not seem to identify? Yeah, ok.

Duck Duck Go and Google seem to provide the same collection of sources including CDC, NBS, MSNBC, and KFF. The only entry I saw that disputed the 90% was from Wisconsin and that article claimed it was only 77% which does NOT say that most new cases are vaccinated.

"If you don't count it then that's proof it isn't true!" No. Wisconsin appears to have tried to count. That article provides proof that it is not 90%, it is only 77%. Even then, you are arguing about whether vaccinated people get exposed to the virus. They do, no question about it, and most of them probably aren't even aware. But do those who are vaccinated and exposed become ill, fill hospitals, and die? THOSE numbers are collected and they are incredibly small.

Four people I know well are now searching for tests to see if the cough and weakness they have is Covid...Here in The Villages.

Just read this from the online news;

"There were 539 new cases of COVID-19 confirmed for the week of Aug. 13 to 19 in Sumter County, according to data released by the Florida Department of Health.

The COVID-19 new case positivity rate has climbed to 19.3 percent in Sumter County.

There were also 742 vaccinated for the same time period in the county.

The vaccination rate in Sumter County is 71 percent, and some officials in The Villages have said the higher-than-normal vaccination rate has allowed life to be a bit more “normal” in Florida’s Friendliest Hometown where there are no restrictions at recreation facilities and no mask requirements. However, some businesses in The Villages are asking customers to wear masks."

First the issue was that a person that was totally against the vaccine and wearing masks had been taking up space in a hospital.
You focused on 1 aspect of the topic. I've taken both vaccines,, I wear a mask when indoors, I restarted wearing a mask in Publix.
I also donate to Saint Jude's. If I could do more I would, But I'm the sole caretaker of my wife who is in a wheel chair. No it's not just lip service.

You also have to understand when you say just 400 children compared to 70,000, that's 400 more that die annually above the thousands that die from other causes. If you can prevent a extra 400 from losing their lives everyone should do what they can.
Went does the number matter, 10,000, 20,000. If it's your child I think the number is 1.

On June 27, he wrote, “so you wanna take the Poison Pfizer and Moderna and J & J are peddling? have all you want. I know I don’t need it nor ever Will.”

Farrel called Dr. Anthony Fauci a “power tripping lying freak.

On July 2, Farrel described the Delta variant as “another avalanche of Footchi bull shif.”

On July 3, Farrel referred to him as “FOOT-chee,”

Now I have absolutely no problem with his views and though I do not want to see anyone die. What irritates me is that when he got sick he went to the hospital endangering the lives of the staff and their families, using resources that might have been needed for a child under the age of 12 who are not eligible to get the vaccine or someone with a weak immune system. He was an adult he exercised his constitutional rights not to take the shot. As the old saying goes, “He made his bed now he should lie in it” and as far as I’m concerned that bed should have been in his home not at a hospital.
I agree with the contents of this post. Also, Phil Valentine aka "Uncle Phil" died of CV recently. He was a conservative radio jock in Nashville, Tn. He once worked in Philadelphia, I believe. Not sure what his vaccination status was said to be? I may look it up later today?

Children make up about 2.4% of hospitalized COVID patients. Since the onset of COVID, about 400 children have died from the virus. To put that in perspective, in that same timeframe, over 70,000 children have died from other causes…
Dr. Hotez of Baylor University states that many children will suffer long-haul CV symptoms such as brain gray matter decreases, lung and breathing problems, and several other symptoms. I, personally, have seen and heard him say this at least 5 times on national TV. It can easily be checked. He also predicts that most schools will not be able to finish open for the whole school year. The statistics for deaths for children are not the end-all and be-all for the GREAT RISK to this generation of children. I don't see the point of using children to TRY to support one's personal belief about the societal RISK /REWARD for or against adults (or soon children) getting CV shots. I don't, personally, gain much by supporting CV shots - except that the local and nationwide hospitals would be able to have beds available and the US would go back to normal. For now, that is just a pipe-dream.

Are you relishing it? People dying? (that don't vote like you do??) I can think of two groups that aren't getting vaccinated. One that generally votes the opposite from the other............. I don't like the tone of this at all.

Bad attempt at being funny

Some of us got it....went over the heads of others. Sometimes people are so close to the forest they cant see the trees.

You were born...and you will die. It was decided before you were ever a gleam in your daddy's eye when that would occur....not what it would be from. Go, live life, TRUST GOD....you will not leave this earth a moment before. But you WILL when it is TIME and not a moment before.

What about the other 70,000 children who died during that same timeframe? Are you doing “everything in your power” to help prevent those deaths…
Or do those 70,000 not mean as much because the media hasn’t told you to be upset about them???
There are medical experts and Scientists knocking themselves out to lower death due to ALL diseases. The mRNA vaccines hold POTENTIAL for irradiation of many diseases - even cancer! There are Scientists, engineers, and traffic experts working hard to further develop self-driving cars for a safer future. Some traffic experts believe that one-way streets lower deaths because of fewer head-on collisions. Science NEVER stops - only people that fear change and backward leaning people (such as in Afghanistan today) can ACTUALLY stop Science. Personally, I change only slowly due to age - but, I NEVER intend to fear change!

Interesting..........I actually liked Phil Valentine a lot because he was entertaining. I would listen to him while I worked out in my yard in Tn. for many, many hours. I would not have done that if I disliked him. I even doubt that most radio commentators even care about THEIR OWN VIEW of government. They get paid very well and mainly to be entertaining. I remember when a so-called professional wrestler would be a BAD guy in Philadelphia and a GOOD guy in Chicago. They changed their personalities to suit the city or situation. It was their money-making jobs, that's all! RIP......."Uncle Phil"

I am a card carrying and even own one of them danged red hats but I was one of the first to get vaccinated. I would never dream to badmouth those who are poor in the inner cities who aren't getting vaccinated. All we can do is control what we choose to do and how we raise our children.

But we already irradiate cancers. But I agree that this mRNA technology may eradicate other diseases:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

We were going to go to a show at the Sharon but first we called to determine if they were going to structure the audience as recommended by the CDC and generally intelligent residents. The answer was NO. It would be open to all! Whoever has a call on this policy is intelligent challenged. As they say "follow the money". I suspect the owners of the Sharon or who prosper from the attendance to the shows has made the decision to open this thousand seat theater up to all in order to maximize revenue and the hell to those who may get the virus based on this ignorant decision. It would be really interesting to see how many that attend get the Virus and end up in serious condition in the hospital or dead? :ohdear:
