Moderna just said they are recommending a booster
I don't doubt there are some hospitals reaching peak capacity and having to expand or send to other neighboring hospitals.cone said:
primarily, if you go seek treatment at a stand-alone ER, and you are too sick to be successfully treated and discharged from there, they won't be able to find you a hospital bed in Texas or in Oklahoma or in Louisiana
so if you're really sick, go to a big hospital with a ICU and try to get in there and best of luck
in short, now's not the best time to be sick
and that's just the transfer situation. that's really temporary (I hope) compared to the front-line HC staff hitting the end of their rope.

I forget, didn't the ICU flirt with needing Phase 3 capacity last winter? Seems like there's some room to run.
Realize staffing is a whole different issue.
If my records are correct the previous reported peaks for number of covid positives in ICU beds wereFitch said:

I don't remember. Were elective surgeries happening in the winter? Could ICU stays due to surgery be impacting the number of ICU patients now?
It's 100% if you're one of the 614,000 US dead so far.texan12 said:
According to the CDC for ages 0-49, from Jan 2020 to July 2021, there have been 29,249 covid deaths nation-wide. That's .00009% of the total population.
To include 50-64 year olds the number goes to 126,426 or .0004% of the US.

So it's 100% for the 330,000,000 still alive? What does this add to the conversation other than pushing an agenda? What is your point? Some people died of covid, so we shouldn't live life based on relative risk with actual data at hand?74OA said:It's 100% if you're one of the 614,000 US dead so far.texan12 said:

Probably more than 3.4 other deaths since February of 2020. More than 3 mm Americans will die on average every year the rest of our lives. Sheer math, 330 million people. Unless people think we start living more than 100 years on average.Old Buffalo said:
You know there's been like 3.4m other deaths that are also 100% dead.
My point is that if you get the safe, free, effective vaccine you are almost 100% sure of not dying or getting a debilitating covid infection.beerad12man said:So it's 100% for the 330,000,000 still alive?

Almost like Covid is seasonal...shocker. Most places peaked at the same time last year, should not be a surprise.
