Please explain the misinformation in my post. I've experienced it first hand. Love to hear where I'm incorrect in describing what I've lived.

Good question. Perhaps you should address that when you get a chance to experience a trip to our Villages ER. They were good/nice folks there, but overworked with the short staff. Since I have very little experience with trips to the ER, any ER I do not know if that is normal to spend a whole day before finally seeing a doctor. However, vitals were taken right away, and back to your seat in the waiting room. Blood was drawn and back to the waiting room. Paperwork was filled out, and back to the waiting room. A diagnostic was conducted by a technician, and back to the waiting room. At about 4pm, finally taken to a treatment room and eventually seen by a very busy physician. Not complaining about the treatment, just stating the facts of how the day went. During that whole time period, I saw ONLY one person in the Covid designated area. I have no idea how the day before or the day after was like in the ER.

Definitely. Our country MUST start living with this. It may never go away.

It will go away. If it doesn't, it will be the first pandemic in recorded history that lasts forever.

leaving meaningful facts along with reported is why. You can't report # COVID cases (yes just a positive result and not sick) and evaluate those numbers to put it in perspective.

A positive COVID test result is not hospitalization not alone DEATH! The odds are way in our favor of not dying (not reported).

Interesting report on BBC this morning.

??? The hospitalization numbers and death numbers WERE reported in that aarticle. Are you upset that the article did not analyze the data in a way that provided results that you wanted? I prefer reading the facts.


Funny thing about odds - 98% seems like a really high number until you find yourself in the 2% group. If your power was 98% reliable then it would only be out about seven days each year. Sometimes 2% is not really that small.

(We don't yet know that Omicron is much less deadly than the other variants. Things numbers are pointing in a good direction but the next week or so should tell.)

Data on the latest variant (Omicron) show your chances of severe illness or death are low even without the vaccination...

It is an inarguable fact that 100% of people on earth will die of something...

If you are over 50 or 60 you have a GOOD chance of having a REALLY bad hospitalization and a GOOD chance of DEATH. For example, I understand that Glen Beck says that he is UN-vaccinated and he has had 2 bouts with the CV and he currently is in an ICU with it. I have HEARD this 2nd hand. I have not looked it up for a black and white print verification. So, don't excoriate (whatever that means) if the info is off a tad. I am not a fan of Glen Beck or of the deceased Rush Limbaugh so I will NOT bother to look it up. To others, it may be meaningful. My thoughts are if you have CV twice, then God is warning you to get your shot (notice I will NOT refer to it as a jab, which is low rent!)

I wonder if they have name tags in HEAVEN? Or how else do you go about recognizing your old friends? Old people ALL start to look the SAME to me!

I can find nothing that states he is in the ICU... But that does not surprise me...

Source? Oh, right you can't be bothered to "look it up". You just post it here...

My daughter has had Covid twice before the vaccine had been offered to her age group and worked right through it from home. Her cardiologist suggests that she hold off on the vaccine. She has an active lifestyle and has not slowed down. Covid has not scared her into submission. She did get tested before visiting us, though.
