So urgent that the plan will be announced on Thursday.

This is going to be their pathway to passing the $3.5 trillion porkulus - more shutdowns, and then hold a gun to Repubs head that they have to pass $3.5T to get additional covid relief.
posted by Dr Winston O'BoogieMy old company had a theme for safety called “The Road to Zero”. It meant the ultimate goal was zero safety incidents the unspoken understanding was that in the heavy mining industry we were in, that perfection may never be achieved, but we always worked toward it.
I think Biden has the same attitude toward COVID. Until there are literally no more cases in existence, we will always keep it front of mind and always be willing to endure continual restrictions.
The Road to Zero is a fine goal for a company’s safety practices. It is pathetic as a society’s goal for narcissistically thinking it will remove every risk humans face.
This pretty much sums up everyone that advocates, bargains, or accepts restrictions at this point. It will never be enough, because none of them can accept that risks are a part of life. The only way forward is to accept covid is here to stay and you can make your own risk analysis.
Biden's up there walking around in NJ touring Ida damage outside with a mask on. That about sums it up.
Australia has finally went too far
“Residents in apartment blocks locked-down by NSW Health are having their alcohol deliveries policed… Residents are allowed to receive one of the following: six beers, one bottle of wine, or one 375ml bottle of spirits. Excess alcohol is confiscated.” https://t.co/mpNBKLamjJ

Proving it doesn't take long at all to slide into tyranny.
New emails show that the CDC changed their mask guidance on vaccinated people in schools bc a teachers union wanted them to. So much sciencing.
Columbus planning to have indoor mandatory mask policy for public buildings.
So, Rand Paul was right again? Got it.
Turning into Australia ....

There’s nothing new about this. Many organizations in the medical field have long required employees (not just doctors) to get flu shots every year. Same mentality here.
The hospitals SE Ohio are getting filled up with COVID patients. Apparently, SOMC is out of ICU beds as they are filled with COVID patients. They are turning away patients and routine procedures now. I have a few friends that work there that are unloading their frustrations online.
About 95% of the COVID patients are unvaccinated as well.
That said, I have two older family members, both vaccinated, that have been in the hospital with COVID. One made it out. The other is touch and go right now.

Three degrees of P-Town
Remember when we built all of the temporary hospitals last year because we were going to overrun the healthcare system and then none of them were ever used?

There was a newscast from a stadium in Seattle converted to a field hospital. A nurse told the reporter “People are completely unprepared for how much death we’ll soon be seeing here.” They had something like 1,500 beds and the gist of the report was how long until those were filled and they were forced to go to yet another field hospital location
Number of beds used in that fi led hospital: ZERO

That’s the area he’s from….I can backup his claim about the hospitals around here. A guy I know his whole family is positive and he was in the hospital for Covid and was given two days of infusion and released because others are worse and they need the beds….no way should he have been released. I have an aunt that works in the hospital ptown mentions….she’s said the same things. I know many at Holzer and Adena…..2 big hospital names of southern Ohio and both are struggling to keep up

Better tell your buddies working at the overcrowded hospitals to call Rolling Stone. They had a great hard-hitting piece on how Oklahoma ERs were turning away gunshot victims because they were overrun with Covid patients. Unfortunately that story was proven false But I bet they’d be happy to truck over to SE Ohio for a redemption opportunity.

Pretty sure they said they were overrun with hOrSe DeWoRmEr overdoses.

That story truly illustrates the extremely sad state of the media today.
Any rational non-idiot should be highly suspicious of a story about hospitals turning away gunshot victims. Even if you had credible sources telling you that, you'd still have to believe there was something missing (like maybe the victim was transferred to a Trauma 1 hospital because this hospital wasn't equipped to treat him).
If these medical professionals were actually treating patients with theraputics that they have at hand, people wouldnt be in the hospitals.
