They won't tell us who's not vaccinated.
we’re not allowed to ask, either.

It’s gonna be like asking if someone needs a license to work in the US as code for “are you a US citizen?”.

for vax, you can ask if they have any testing requirements or needs and date of their last negative test.

When asked correctly, if you are, you will self attest. If you aren’t, you’ll dodge the question.

feelings. Lol

GFs aunt is an ER nurse in NC. She’s finally getting time off and came out to visit with family. Was telling us this morning that when she left two days ago there were 190 intubated Covid patients. Of 190 only 4 were vaccinated. They is currently a 7:1 patient to nurse ratio. 5:1 is typically considered the max. They had to take over the non-elective surgery wing for bed space and the only surgeries happening are trauma because they’re the only trauma unit in the county.

@frvcvs I just checked and there are 697 ventilators in use today in the state of NC - all patients, not just COVID.

If there are 190 COVID patients on vents at her hospital that would mean nearly 1/3 of ALL vents in use in the state are at her hospital, not to mention they have other patients on vents there as well.

I'm not buying it.

Also, what a nice manager giving her time off during an unprecedented crisis of staffing (7:1)

a bunch of old guys at work are up in arms and I’ve heard more than one group talking about ‘paying a lawyer $200’ to write up some bull sh!t letter holding the company responsible for any side effects. :dancing:

Almost half the ICU census of our entire county just devoted to COVID in ONE hospital there?!?

Unknown to "them," and again, the vaccine shots that we took as young kids helped promote better lives for "them" medically as they grew up as young kids and into adulthood. It didn't do much for common sense though ~
and with all the political BS going on and simply bad info on COVID ... there's no denying that this country has parted into groups with different agendas ~
United States of America?? Not anymore

My dad, his wife, my uncle, and some of their friends just ALL got covid after a BBQ together, all of them are vaxxed. I was at the BBQ, have not had a covid vax, and did not get it. I'm generally healthy, they are all a bunch of fat, lazy folks. Guess it's just a coincidence though.

I still know/hear of friends and colleagues etc getting covid left and right. What I don’t hear, at least here in Nassau county with our 90+% vax rate, are horror stories of our local hospitals and morgues filling up like they did here back in March and April of 2020

did you really jump on the Gaylord Focker FB group to ask about hospital numbers to prove me wrong? Sad.

No, I just googled the publicly available info.

When someone starts saying 5:1 ICU ratios are typical and start throwing out other ridiculous numbers it catches my interest.

Hospital beds over 70% full in Delaware.

Not sure what that has to do with those made up numbers you threw out.

Where in my post did I say ICU?

I just posted a link about Wilmington area hospitals nearing 100% capacity. Prolly just fake news and I’m prolly lying just to make you look.
