We found that many of the nurses weren’t so good, but then we found a good one (similar to your experience) and ran all of our requests through her. It made all of the difference. Then again, we weren’t dealing with a pandemic at the time.

It will continue to mutate and thus weaken as more and more get vaccinated. I disagree with your dire predictions that this virus (not a disease) will overtake cancer and other mortal diseases. Again this is a virus not a disease.
I have the same question. @mrhickory and @stevesawbone please answer this if you can. Had my Pfizer shots in March so I'm coming up on 6 months. Tia
There are billions of people in the world so I think we play a part. I think most mutations will happen in less vaccinated countries as the US though. I believe delta started in India but not 100% on that. I see us bringing this down to the flu by the end of the school year. Jmo
He also failed to point out that the death percentage is already falling compared to when the virus was first hitting pre-vaccine. Also. Vaccinated people aren’t really dying now luckily.
Did someone put a gun to your head and compel you to click on the thread rather than scroll on by?
Vacation travelers. Same reason the AL and MS gulf coast is ravaged right now
Uhhhhhh, no. More than likely, we need to get used to the idea that it will be closer to a very bad year of the flu 70,000 to 80,000 die a year. I think it will fall from there.
It’s important for people to be aware of what’s actually going on in our healthcare systems right now.
Bro that’s not good news!!…some of your fellow Auburn fans have plans to attend that game.
Covid kills 600K+ Americans in 18 months, and we want to tell everyone what they can or can’t do. Heart disease kills nearly 700K every 12 months and we still asking people to pass the gravy…
Stop pumping sunshine. We’re all dead from this, some just don’t know it yet.
People think hospitals don’t make mistakes. They do all the time. A few years ago, my mom was going to have surgery to fix an irregular heartbeat. I mean we are in surgery prep. She’s ready to go. Then the head guy looks at her chart. Ask her some questions on her symptoms. She had none. He leaves and comes back. He says you all go have a family lunch. We aren’t operating on you. We were stunned. That being said, most aren’t prescribing ivermectin. The op said only 1 of 30 Dr’s where he’s at (ER doctors?), prescribe it. Big study released yesterday that it does nothing. A bigger study being done now though.
Had covid, I'm vaccinated, I no longer care. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk. 8-5 is my projection for this year.
In fairness, Hardee’s gravy biscuits are smashing.
Ok. I now see your post was sarcasm. My bad. That’s a lot of work and lines for sarcasm.
If heart disease had a vaccine, it would be recommended. Also, heart disease doesn’t affect others.
Agree, but even less people get the yearly flu shot that have taken the covid shot now.
Trying to get everyone vaccinated yearly isn't going to be easy. It's like pulling teeth to get them to take it once.
Thanks as always doc. Prayers up for you and all the medical folks trying to handle all this. Thanks so much for everything y’all are doing.
Not sure how people don’t understand this. The better comparison is drunk/reckless driving probably.
You think the op is looking for attention?
I can't catch heart disease from the gravy fumes as it's passing by me

There is quite a bit that I could say about this, and speculate on a couple of other hypotheticals, but quite some time ago, I decided to just sit on them, because they might be misconstrued and inadvertently hurt the efforts to get to the other side of this thing ASAP.
That is why I'm humbly praying, hoping, (and advocating), that we identify the absolute best solutions to get to the other side of this as quickly as possible, instead of just blindly going with the narrative. We MUST explore all viable considerations to get the objectivity that you must have, in order to craft the BEST solution(s).

Thank God yearly boosters won’t be needed except for the elderly and those with other immune issues. The best news I’ve heard this entire 18 months was the mRNA vaccines will last for years to protect against severe disease and death.
I've seen the memes from people who ask why we aren't emphasizing healthy eating habits, exercise, etc. in light of the fact that obesity is such a large risk factor for COVID (and many other conditions). Obviously people should do that. The difference is, 1) heart disease isn't contagious, and 2) in terms of efficacy, we stand a much better chance of getting people to sign up for a shot than we do of getting them to change deeply rooted bad habits.
Better yet, we encourage them to embrace their fatness because we don't want to hurt feelings.
You think the OP is merely seeking attention?
It’s not difficult to just skip his threads… perhaps you’re the one seeking attention.
We have about +/- 10 days till we spike out if we are on the same trajectory as the UK….as Fauci has implied several times. But this virus is a crap shoot so who knows.
Totally a guess but maybe the majority of the breakthroughs are from patients who were vax’d early on. I have no data to back that up and I am in no way involved in the medical field so just throwing it out there for discussion?.

You think OP posted it here because he thought no one would read it and comment on it? Every single damn Covid-related thread turns into the same bullshit. No one posts a Covid thread on the Bunker expecting anything other than what this one has devolved into. This was briefly a rule that @Jay G. Tate enforced. I suspect he’s given up over the shear quantity of them…and not even mods can post as much as you.
It is doubtful there is even a slight chance that death rates due to any variant of COVID ever come close to approaching heart disease or cancer. COVID is not going away, but COVID killing large numbers of people is going away. That is how viruses and mutations work. In that sense, it is no different from the flu and other previous viruses. Just like the Spanish flu killed (by some estimates) about 3-5% of the world's population and now the seasonal flu kills something like 0.01% of the world population each year, COVID almost certainly will be similar. Even though it is deadlier and more contagious, COVID is unlikely to be killing more than 0.1% of the world each year a few decades from. That is still a lot of people, but some of the apocalyptic projections of huge numbers of people dying from COVID are not very likely or realistic, especially considering developments in medical technology.
Seriously, he's just sharing data. Not propaganda, no real partisan tilt to it. If you have a problem with data, I don't really know what to tell you. Says a lot about you IMO.
It’s also not difficult to post them in the board designed for Covid threads.
I would argue heart disease has a massive effect on others. Physical passing of a virus/disease isn't the only way to effect others.
"More than 868,000 Americans die of heart disease or stroke every year—that’s one-third of all deaths. These diseases take an economic toll, as well, costing our health care system $214 billion per year and causing $138 billion in lost productivity on the job"
Great way of looking at it! What’s one other deadly disease gonna matter??? Let’s just say oh well and move on!🤦🏻
TBH, I never really considered that future mutations could also make COVID less deadly until reading this thread. Seems like a valid point though.
