Corona and other diseases

I look forward to the one two punch of covid and measles in Tennessee.
 
Anyone else noticed how this is page 666 and Covid cases are worse than ever?
No? Just me then… :hehe:

At the risk of sounding heartless, I don't think so. We are at or near the point where everybody who wants a vaccine in this country can get one. If they choose not to, and then get sick...well, that was the choice they made. The solution is there. At some point the train has to move and those that aren't on it need to get left behind.

This obviously doesn't apply to countries that are experiencing a vaccine shortage.
 
Dolly Parton needs to step in. She’s the only person they actually respect down there.


NY Times - Top Tennessee Vaccine Official Says She Was Fired Over Shots for Teens
Michelle Fiscus, that state’s immunization leader, was only the latest state public health official to depart amid the pandemic.


Rural Tennessee struggles to get people vaccinated, younger adults may be the problem | WKRN News 2 (July 7, 2021)

Tennessee Qpublicans have gone totally anti-vax. Not just for COVID19, but all vaccines for all diseases.
 
Boy, is there anything more frustrating than watching people ***** in a group that's to support local restaraunts about these places having a lack of employees.
 
The Daily Beast - Newsmax Host: Vaccines Are ‘Against Nature’—Because Some Diseases Should ‘Wipe Out’ People
Rob Schmitt said that while he’s not an “anti-vaxxer,” he feels vaccines “stand in the way” of nature and the “ebb and flow” of diseases killing swaths of people.


Newsmax Distances Itself From Host Who Said Vaccines Go 'Against Nature' | HuffPost

The conservative news outlet made it clear that it “strongly supports President Biden’s efforts to widely distribute the COVID vaccine.”
 



Coronavirus: 'We have a tale of two pandemics' in America

”The problem is we have a tale of two pandemics,” Dr. Andre Campbell, a California-based ICU physician and trauma surgeon, said on Yahoo Finance Live recently (video above). “Where I live in San Francisco… We have 70-80% of people vaccinated. But if you go to other places in the South, the vaccination rate is 30 to 40%.”

Much of this stems from political polarization: Republican-dominated areas, some led by politicians who have added vaccine skepticism to their messaging, generally have lower vaccinated rates.

I went to a noon matinee of Black Widow yesterday. I wasn't sure I was going to go up until I bought my ticket. It was their large Cinemark XD showing and only 2 other people had bought tickets. They told me they clean and disinfect bathrooms every 30 minutes and the theaters after each showing. I sat in the front and the closest person to me was about 25 feet away behind me. This theater probably seats between 300 and 400 people.

I liked the movie BTW.
 


Fox say people will revolt over forced vaccines.

Great choice of words. They also call education about the virus “propaganda.” Fox being Fox.
 
COVID-19: UK daily coronavirus cases exceed 40,000 - highest since mid-January

I've already seen some stories from doctors/nurses saying that they're already back to having people sprawled out in hallways across chairs because of a lack of beds/rooms in their particular hospital(s).

But yeah, lets rush to reopen the entire country & eliminate social distancing before appropriate contingency measures are put in place for hospitals up & down the country to cope with having more patients than beds/rooms & staff to care for them.

We're back up to 50k cases a day. :csad:
