[QUOTE="Hpacres440p, post: 1654633, member: 39347"] There seems to be a general disbelief in the acuity and seriousness of Covid. So, the death rate is 1% (or whatever your low number of choice is today). Great. That only counts deaths. Not hospital beds occupied for weeks, or people symptomatic enough to make several trips to the ER for rescue. In my area in Central Texas, we have 1 (one, uno, singular) ICU bed available between 2 hospitals. Our “mother ship” hospital to the south had to cancel all surgeries requiring overnight admission-including cancer surgeries. I work in oncology-we are seeing people present at higher stages of disease over the past 6 months, and I truly believe it is because biopsies and initial diagnostic work up was delayed with the early Covid closures, and actual infections which prevented them from getting care. Moral of the story? Don’t plan on quick care for strokes, MI, cancer, etc if your area is being hit hard with Covid. I’d love to see the collateral damage deaths during this time. Mask and vaccines are two ways to get a handle. Yes we all die. Some folks have gotten used to a longer life span and the opportunity to stick around. [/QUOTE]
