Or, since some people are getting tested 10+ times, the "cases" may be over reported. No way to know

If you are referring to my post, there is a reply button that will allow a quote of my post to accompany your reply.
If you are replying to me, I did not say that anyone's condition was broadcast. I simply said that there is a segregated, partitioned area in the ER that is labeled and used for those that have or may have Covid. I also said that during the whole day that I waited, I only observed one person occupying that area. I don't believe I mentioned anything regarding "Hippa" so maybe your response was not to my post.

Dr. golfing eagles, thank you for trying to provide a reality check. But those who grasp at straws will continue to dismiss reality and go on searching Facebook or wherever they get their “information” for things they can cling to in order to self-validate their refusal to vaccinate.

Meanwhile, my back-home area of Ohio has declared a state of emergency because the hospitals have so many patients very sick with Covid — almost all are unvaccinated.

I know one — a young man — who naively got caught up in that ongoing cause of his “freedom” to deny vaccination. And now he is in the hospital fighting Covid in a life or death battle. His family has been told it is likely that he will never be the same — if he survives, and his wife and kids and others who love him are collateral damage for his “cause.” (along with strangers who might need that ICU bed for a non-Covid reason)

On the other hand, I also know an 80 year-old with several co-morbidities who scared his friends and family when he was sick with Covid — for about 3 days — stayed home, felt really bad, but by the 5 day mark, he was back to his old self. He is vaccinated and boosted. (To me, that’s a case of the canary in the coal mine. That vaccinated and boosted old canary flew out fine.)

Not sure why I am continuing to bother with this. The unvaccinated will not be happy until they collapse the economy totally, I guess. And then they will deny responsibility for that, too.

Good word "emmerder" - I will try to remember "emmerder"! And pretty good analogy about playing on I-4.In general, a great, intelligent post that comes at a very NEEDED time. Nice to read a well-written and smart post instead of the MOSTLY off-the-wall and confused one-liners and one or two-sentence posts that I, unfortunately, have to wade through the "emmerder" content of most posts.
......And I don't know how to BEST say this.....BUT, the post was very pointed and AGGRESSIVE, which I liked. But, I don't like the fact that someone in the US HAS to say it. But, it needs to be said and I, for one, am glad that it is now out in the open! We are in one of History's great PIVOTAL moments. The US can roll through these next few years only moderately wounded or the US can enter a period of Historic devolution toward darkness. (I will not spell that out and be specific) I just HOPE that justice and democracy prevail. The 1st outright battle was last year on Jan 6 - a day that may live in infamy. The casualties were light and hopefully, they stay light. Sorry, but that HAS to be said!

Boomer. Boomer, Boomer it’s probably fake news you might be watching.
I hope the anti-vax/unvaccinated show up to the hospital with an up to date DNR directive.

The Omicron variant IS elbowing out the Delta. That IS a good thing. And I believe that Omicron will level off and begin decreasing. It is also possible that something worse could replace it. The medical scientists think that is unlikely. So, soon people may be toasting Omicron as a savior......with this Virus anything is possible.
......The balance of the post had me scratching my head?????

I wonder what the reason/delay a person would spent all day in the ER?

Well Vaccines will be out of the equation
Can viral hemorrhagic fever diseases be prevented? No vaccines are available to prevent these diseases. Two exceptions are for yellow fever and Argentine hemorrhagic fever.

Maybe

Here's an internet blurb:

"The inventor of modern mRNA vaccines, Dr. Robert Malone, went on Steve Bannon’s War Room where he warned of a new disease spreading across Communist China that appears to be an “Ebola-like hemorrhagic fever” super virus.

Dr. Malone explained that “vaccinating into a pandemic will drive the development of escape mutants that are resistant to vaccination,” adding that the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) mass vaccination campaign “has mirrored that of the western world, and has resulted in a perfect storm of environment for developing a super virus.”

Do we believe this?----the combination of Malone---who has turned into a doomsday prophet, and Steve Bannon would tend to lack credibility

Well, there was no vaccine for COVID----until there was.

"Necessity is the mother of invention"

That is no Urban Legend. It is factual, per the Director of Health in Illinois. And that of Maricopa County, plus many others...

There is video of them saying that.

You also ignore those who died WITH covid and not FROM covid.

And that FL Administrator? She did no such thing. Stop spreading false information you may have "heard" and cite actual facts... She was fired for insubordination...

The fact is, most states are DOWNSIZING the number of actual covid caused deaths...

How Public Health Counts COVID-19 Deaths - YouTube

"At the time of death, and you had a covid positive test, you are determined to be a covid death. Even if it was not due to covid..."

State of Illinois Definition of a CoVID-19 Death - YouTube

Malone is saying it along with Epoch Times reported this also along with deaths occurring due to harsh quarantine...Locked In.

Sorry, she was NOT fired for insubordination. That was from "the other side of the story" which was a state government, which had greater control of information and in this case......misinformation. Depending on what side a given person was on - then some believed the state and some believed her. Her insubordination (which is a "catch-all", weak charge) REALLY was simply telling the truth ......and believing that her "truth will set her free". Joke.....the free state of our state. Maybe someday in the future. Or maybe it keeps getting worse. Be careful what you wish for!

What "media" would that be?

Anecdotes are anecdotal...

To your last point... sure, if you say so...
