40% of ventilation use is by COVID patients. I think that's a significant percentage....no?
It's honestly not as high as I'd expect based on everything you read about how close it's coming to overwhelming the system. It's made to sound like there's a shortage of ventilators and that they're going to run out because of Covid, and yet less than half of the ones being used (not the total number mind you) are being used by Covid patients.
I’ll never understand firing healthcare workers for not getting the vaccine when they were on the front lines for over a year saving lives. Is that how we treat our heros? Many likely already have natural immunity from recovering from the virus, and you force them to put more into their body? Disgusting.
People complaining about people living their normal lives, many of whom got the vaccine, come across as bitter, lonely and frankly scared people.
So our Governor closed schools last March of 2020 with 16 cases of COVID.
Today he celebrates his management of the virus with a 7 day moving average of 1700 + cases a day.
Go figure.
He's an idiot.
No I don't think we should 'lockdown' but ignoring the virus has South Carolina moving up the ranks to #4 for a per capita rate....when we have little to no mass transit or population density that would easily explain the spread.
My son works at a restaurant that is seeing a COVID outbreak among the workers...no -- they aren't vaccinated.
One employee was urged to come into work -- even with COVID symptoms and testing positive.
WHy not? We are South Carolina -- we don't need your stinking guidelines.
I have family in SC. They’re beyond stubborn. So, I gave up on them a while back.
This thread is about SC, so I am curious to know how your state compares to South Carolina: population size, density, case rate, deaths and all that.
I am not at the moment able to do any research on this, but if anyone else can I'd like to see it.
I am aware this is a SC thread--the point was the selective outrage at COVID increases depending on the state. Michigan, for example, has done quite poorly in terms of cases and deaths given the incredibly harsh restrictions that were in place for most of 2020.
Didn't Biden call Trump racist for stopping flights from China? I think so. Where did the vaccine come from? It woudl not be around today if not for Trump. Stop spreading your lies.
