So it's closer to 90-95% avg.; the numbers are direct from the source.

When I mentioned overtime.. My wife(RN) has been asked to work 16-18 hrs double-shifts to handle the overflow.

The bubblegum is real. Consider yourself informed now.

Straight from the source...

"It's here. 67 in patients with COVID. Elective surgeries cancelled. The recovery room for surgeries converted to a non-covid medical ICU to make room for the COVID patients in ICU. Disinformation is deadly. 94% of these patients are unvaccinated and another 4.3% are only partially vaccinated. Statistics don't lie. They are non discriminating, have no political affiliation, and no hidden agenda. Vaccines work and have far less side effects than COVID. Think sore arm, body aches for a day, and headache. The best way to stay out of the hospital is to get vaccinated, if you have no medical reason to avoid the vaccine (immune compromised is one of the few reasons.) Please I implore you. I don't want to lose anyone to this that could have been prevented. I also don't want to see you have life long complications after infection if you survive. I'm exhausted from this and don't know how much more energy I can put into talking about this. I don't get to escape this, this is my reality, this is my work. I get to wear a mask and goggles 10 hrs a day while at work 3-4 days a week. So please get vaccinated if you haven't already."

"TO ALL MY UNVACCINATED FRIENDS AND FAMILY PLEASE READ NOT ARGUMENTATIVE I PROMISE. Just woke up after a 12hr night shift to see this. When I got to work yesterday we were at 91 and now 102. I spoke with a hospitalist last night regarding a patient and was told how behind and overwhelmed she was. Our anesthesia docs have to cover our makeshift ICU in the PACU and they are overwhelmed and treading water, Staff on the floors are not getting lunch breaks because there is no one to relieve them. It all feels a little hopeless. I realize I have been going thru the stages of grief along with so many healthcare providers. Denial-not really discussing it with people with differing views. Anger. Bargaining- begging people to get vaccinated. Now I sit in limbo between depression and acceptance. I don't think I will fully hit acceptance with a virus where severe disease is preventable with a vaccine. I look back to other pandemics. The Spanish flu, that came in two waves. The second wave was the most deadly it lasted 2 yrs. Whole families died during that pandemic and there was no vaccine. By the end of the Spanish flu you either died or developed immunity. Not sure we will be so lucky here with some people getting vaccinated and the variants. But one can hope this is the second wave and we are toward the end. I have accepted that a majority of my extended family in Douglas County will never get vaccinated no matter how much I try to inform them. I will lose family members. It's a hard thing to fully accept since this death is preventable and needless just because they are too stubborn. If you see this and already don't just scroll by my posts on this subject, know that I love you regardless and hopefully this is not the last time I get to tell you that.
Interesting how some hospitals appear to be overwhelmed and many other hospitals are unaffected. In the news only the worst case scenario makes the headline. The jab is most likely safe and affective however I don't like the the Gov demanding I take a medication that was rushed through trials. Just my 2 cents. which isn't worth much.
 
I wonder how many people you and your Typhoid Mary family infected?
Well if you do not like our outlook on things you can always leave the discussion. You sound like one of those brainwashed progressives that are terrified of everything. We are all going to die someday and you cant stay huddled in a corner your whole life fearing it and I for one am not going to let the Govt scare me into submission like apparently it has done to you... I know I am coming across as an a_ss right now but......

Washington's hospitals are running out of ICU beds too.

A lot of people's heads are really in the sand right now. It's a very much "I'm/We're fine" type of attitude so "whatever".

For some, it's not until they find themselves in the hospital fighting for their lives; wishing they had not been such idiots when it comes to getting vaccinated.

The jab works. Is it 100%? No. But it by-in-large keeps most people out of the hospital that do get sick, and most importantly, the virus is tougher to shed.

It's not about being among the not-at-risk population, it's about not spreading the virus to the people that are at risk.

At this point, the anti-vaxxers are what is prolonging this pandemic. By being spreaders, many are inadvertently killing people due to degrees of separation.

Pretty much done with kook anti-vaxxers at this point.

Enjoy unemployment and being excluded from public society. No empathy here. Lepers didn't have a choice. You do.

You're clueless.
 
Imagine what will happen when he says you cant shop at grocery stores unless you are vaccinated and if you don't submit you family will starve...
How well do ya think that will go over? I would not put it past him or the rest of those in this administration...
 
Spacibo tavarish....
Horse de-wormer has rotted your brain.

I got the jab because I care about others, and to not potentially infect others. Anti-vaxxers only care about themselves.

We were on track to get a handle on this virus earlier this year, but paranoid dipbubblegums afraid of a shot that has been proven to be safe and effective have brought us back to the edge.

Y'all really are POS to the X degree.

No shirt, No shoes, No vax, No service.

Enjoy Grub Hub and Netflix for a little longer. At least you won't be out potentially killing fellow Americans as a spreader.

Quite the virtue signaler you are... I am just a dummy then, I guess I will throw my PhD out the window... take care.

All flu viruses mutate otherwise would have cured the regular flu decades ago. The world will never be fully vaccinated before the flu mutates several times and even if in some fantasy everyone was vaccinated the flu will eventually mutate and most likely affect the populace again. Hopefully like in the past this pandemic will fade away. All people with high risk factors should vaccinate IMO. You said "Enjoy unemployment and being excluded from public society. No empathy here. Lepers didn't have a choice. You do." It's amazing how little it takes to hatch a fascist. However the unvaccinated and vaccinated must be responsible in having healthy habits and if they do become sick to not put others at risk. This is just a casual discussion for me. Try not to get emotional.
 
Your troll skills need some work.

Dismissed.
You sir are the troll, and a typical progressive wolf in sheep's clothing, just like all the terrified pro-vaxers that try to convince everyone else who shy away from the jab that they should do it if not for themselves then "for everyone else! you don't want anyone else to get sick do you?" typical attempt of those types of people trying to guilt someone into doing something they do not want to do and the one thing that I have learned in my life is that if a person gets to that type of thinking then there is absolutely no point in trying to convince them otherwise. I hope you never get sick from this sh_itty virus but this exchange was pointless..

Better words never spoken....
 
So you were high level industrial mechanic, have your engineering degree and masters. You were a manger at several companies, a shop steward and a terminator that would make Arnold run in fear. I suppose you were also a tang drinking astronaut while you took a break from curing cancer. Seems a bit embellished:rolleyes: Or just full of bubblegum.
Not quite an astronaut but I was US Army Airborne Chemical Weapons Technical Escort. Mechanical Engineering undergrad from UW and MBA from Eastern Oregon . MIGHT start working on my DBA if I can get my next employer to pay for it. Currently I'm the engineering and maintenance VP of a large bottling company in North Carolina . That is about to change though as in about 2 weeks I'm taking a job somewhere else depending on the outcome of an interview I'm doing tomorrow at a douchebag factory. Yes, a douchebag factory. Appropriate? Been doing this stuff for 33 years. You might be lazy. I'm not . "Wired" is a way of life.
