Yup I know friends who have lost family members. I met a friend’s mom recently who’s a survivor. She still struggles to breath even though she had COVID in November of last year. She wanted to congratulate me for something and it took her forever to rasp those words out. It’s heartbreaking.

I think many of us here are focused on the subject of COVID deaths and not on the knock on effects. For every COVID death, what’s the number of people who survive but have their quality of life severely reduced to the point where they cannot go back to work anytime soon or at all? You’re...

Calm down dude.

There’s a number of treatments and experimental procedures that the US does better. I’m basing this off of what medical professionals i personally know tell me. Either way I’m happy and content with the level of health care I receive. As for the price difference, who knows? I certainly can’t...

Oh dude I think you misunderstood me. I’m aware of all that. I’m just saying that if you want top of the line healthcare, the US is better. MRIs and X-rays I’ve had done in less than a week. My partners a healthcare worker, I know what’s what. I’m actually proud of Canada’s healthcare system...

Yeah Canada’s like that too. Tiered system. Basic healthcare is essentially free, specialized care on the other hand you’ll have to pay up. I have a medical plan from work so quite a bit of the specialized stuff is covered as well. Rich people who hate waiting and want the very best just cross...

Yeah what’s up with America’s healthcare system anyway? Why do you guys pay so much and get so little? I’ve only lived in countries with heavily subsidized and/or free healthcare and the idea of paying so much is alien to me.

Damn right. They’re also upset Hurston isn’t providing them with their 6 donut a day daily ration and 5 smoke breaks an hour standard. Also….somebody told me Space Hoffa is buried in an asteroid somewhere in M1C-L1.

That makes sense. Another thing that really pisses the nurses off is the casual racism. Many of these patients really don’t like black people or darker skinned Asians taking care of them, going so far as to refuse care unless they get a White nurse or something. Like seriously? COVID is...

I understand that completely. I’m cautiously optimistic that promising new COVID treatments/vaccines that are administered orally will solve this problem for a lot of people.

Hmm I don’t think that’s an accurate comparison. Drunks, drug users, etc aren’t necessarily carrying highly infectious virus like COVID. The thing though is that this fool was a victim as well in many ways. He probably spent way too much time watching certain ‘news’ networks and listening to...

A number of them scream that it’s just a bad case of the flu, pneumonia, etc. They do ask for alternative treatments and get upset when the doctors refuse them. As the hospital has been trying to avoid usage of ventilators unless absolutely necessary, many of the patients have been asked to go...

Yeah it's hard to feel bad about guys like Caleb Wallace. I understand that people have reservations about the vaccine but this guy went beyond that. He was an anti-Vaxxer/Masker/Lockdown conspiracy theorist type who probably revelled in his 5 minutes of fame among like minded people. Had he...

Totally forgot about that!

Space Teamster.

Yeah this is what many of us have been talking about for months. ICU beds being taken up by COVID patients at the expense of people with other ailments. It sucks but what can you do? We can’t deny people treatment even if they’re selfish assholes who refuse to get the jab and/or wear...

This is my only contribution to today's shenanigans. ChromeNinja flying a boatload of TESTies in his 600i. It's a lot of hard work as you can see!

Killed by 4chan. Obituary entry.

That's just it though. I don't really like pointing out peoples' physical attributes like their appearance or their weight. God knows a lot of us sedentary gamers often fall in the relevant physical categories. I have friends who I love dearly who are obese and/or diabetic, often to no fault of...

Interesting how these 'Freedom Defenders' always look at bit on the high end of the BMI scale. The sad thing is that at the end of the day, his 'protests' would have been for naught. In a couple of weeks, nobody besides his immediate friends and family will remember him. Meanwhile he's leaving...
