56 ICU beds remaining in LA County. <2.7% capacity.

I worked to help set up temporary hospitals in Florida and Texas back in March. Everything you've written here is false and misleading. We had doctors, nurses, staff and supplies in place within 48 hours of a request. And we kept those staffed and supplied through the end of July, when we moved them to where they were needed.

This has been said over and over - almost all cases require no hospitalization and simply rest and treatment of symptoms at home. The overreaction to this virus has a direct relation to far worse problems, like depression, suicide and avoidance of routine medical care. We could discuss the damage to the economy and to our children's education.

You, your friend balgor and a couple of others are all regurgitating the same media-driven panic reporting which conveniently ignores what's going on the in the real world.

Your chicken little act is more like chicken ****.

Hey, you shouldn't try to argue with the dynamic duet? They will put you on iggy and say you are stupid because one is an economist and the other, well we don't know what he is because he won't say. But, they are experts in COVID and even medical doctors bow at their elitism.

BBM advocated personal anecdotes over publicly published, sourced and cited evidence. The idea is made all the more ridiculous since we are talking about a regional crisis spanning vast amounts of territory.


You can look for any post of mine where I advocated for shutdowns as a solution. You won't find any. I think I've said this multiple times before. The virus does not have a 0.03% mortality rate. Teachers are indeed teaching. Whether they are teaching the way you think they ought to be is another matter, but AFAIK they are still required to meet their contractual hours. I'm curious how you are fighting for people who have suffered losses.

We're down to <1.7% ICU capacity as of this afternoon, incidentally.

Teachers are doing their jobs? LOL. No, grades are falling which, I assume, they will blame on the parents. If you are doing online courses you don't need nearly as many teachers as in person. That is the model for most "for profit" online schools. So every elementary school, every high school, and every university can have just one teacher per subject or per grade. Most teachers and professors should be on unemployment right now. If that runs out, well screw 'em just like they say to everyone else not anointed as a public sector employee. We in the private sector shouldn't be told to pay more taxes because the government chose to keep government employees on the payroll just to keep them happy while they have told us to shut down.

The rest of your argument is directly from OAN, Newsmax, or whatever terrible YT program you watch. Suicides are not up, I wrote a whole thread on it. You wouldn't believe or understand the research anyhow.

Oh, Boy! Some more arrogance, condescension, and ridicule! You wrote a WHOLE THREAD on it?!?! Gee, you must be some kind of expert or something.
Yeah - we're all just a bunch of stupid hicks here.... why, whatever would we do it there weren't someone to guide us along the Shining Path?

I've never seen anyone try so hard to get attention and be thought of as "The Guy".

If you are still believing this ****, then may god bless your sweet little brain.

This pretty much sums it up. Go outside, look around. The sky is still up there, there are no piles of bodies. People are intentionally trying to whip the populace into a frenzy of fear.

There's multiple CG members in this very subforum describing how desperate hospitals are to either get them to work extra shifts or steal them away outright with stupidly lucrative short term contracts. What will have to happen for you to recognize that there's a crisis going on? Blood raining from the heavens? SMH.

When this all started arena's were turned into hospitals, military hospital ships dispatched to us and preparations were made. Turns out we didn't need most of them.

Now "officials" have been warning us how bad it's going to get and ICU's will be overrun. Yet they didnt bother to do any preparation as before?

You tell me if something doesnt sound right.

During the height of flu season. Got it.

And..... who the hell in their right mind would want to go work in crap holes like L.A. or NY. anyway - long money or no?

Hmmmmm...... that is a thought, isn't it?

Well, I don't know how useful you COVID deniers are . . .

Staying home alone and eating government cheese sounds useful, and by the way wears a mask for the rest of your miserable life...sounds great, and very useful.

How many are in ICUs recovering from hospital procedures because the likes of many here thought it was right to sever all treatments like cancer because of the this BS flu. Why did we get rid of the hospital ship Trump sent us when the ICU hoax was laid bare for all to see. We cant use ICU hysteria when the vast majority of those ICU beds are filled with recovering surgical patients.

USS Comfort and Mercy had missions that did not include care of covid19 patients. Understandable since hospital ships are enclosed environments and if an outbreak breaks out it would be very hard to contain.

Later IIRC USS Comfort had its mission changed, about 2.5 weeks before it was ordered to return. it cared for IIRC 76 covid19 patients.

LOL.

You know what the best part of not wearing a mask is? Mask freakers recoil in horror give you a wide berth..... it's almost like a Bozo Detector. It's nice when idiots no longer approach or bother you in public anymore, and no more jostling and crowding. So, there is a silver lining to this whole debacle.

The Mercy did have COVID patients sent to them. It was not planned but it happened. Still, neither ships were really required. Nor was a lot of other facilities the fed provided to the states.

Covid is stupid

Wake up

baaa baa baaaaa

Your argument goes both ways.
