Follow-up from before: https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/idaho-rations-health-care-statewide-covid-surge-continues-80056295 From the article:

Here we go...we all knew that the unvaccinated were costing us a ton of money with their (unnecessary) hospitalizations. Now, they are starting to add up the costs...

Just came here to post that Spectrum link: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/1/thread/currency-hotfix-and-upcoming-wipes/4335834 It's about time! Although, I am going to miss my LightStrikes...

I don't see a problem. After all, they are dying for what they believed in. It's good to see some integrity...and as my 10th grade history teacher used to say' "The world NEEDS bad examples." The REAL PROBLEM is who ^ these free-dumb "fighters" spread it to & infected, who trusted their fellow...

And another one bites the dust... https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/coronavirus/article254229818.html

The issue is that there were enough beds *before* the crisis (and it is a CRISIS) to treat this person; now with COVID all the beds were full. If you read the story, you would have seen that it is normal for them to transfer the patient to another facility, and that in this case, previously it...

I still don't think the vaccine has been studied enough /s

Another one of those sad stories we are going to see more of, esp. in certain areas...a 73 year old with heart problems had to be airlifted to another state, because the 43 other hospitals they tried to transfer him to didn't have an available cardiac bed. Needless to say, the delay probably was...

That's actually a huge problem...just telling people it is "the right thing to do" & that it is free, and/or telling them to go to Walgreens/CVS whatever (stores I *never* go to) isn't going to work. They need to do outreach/marketing/whatever. If this was a private firm and they could make...

There are treatments for needle phobia ("trypanphobia") https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4900415/ Of course, the number one effective treatment that won't cost you money for psychotherapy: LOOK THE OTHER WAY WHEN THEY GIVE YOU THE SHOT lol

I can't wait for Cyberpunk Resurrected! thanks, I was being facetious...I immediately tossed in my Matrix DVD and watched the first third again, last night... I didn't know about the right-wing polittical nutcases co-opting the whole thing; very sad.

Is that a euphemism for "old'? All those pills looked like the naproxen I take for pain, lol

No political weirdness? That's more than half the fun! This article explored vaccination in a rural part of the US...very interesting for a number of reasons, I could go on about it for hours for thousands of reasons, but I'll just stop and give you the link...

at least with Firefox, it isn't the next post, it just scrolls down the entire screen. I usually use the arrow keys anyway, much easier.

What's wrong with social pressure? If somebody is being a dumbass, why not call them out? I don't get angry, I just have to let them know, and I have to categorize people, so I don't have to think everytime I encounter that person or type of person. I remember an interview with David Robinson...

I think this is the start of a bad trend: https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/09/idaho-begins-rationing-care-as-hospitals-crumple-under-covid-load/ I don't have time to pull together all the graphs and ICU bed availabilities, but unless there is a downtick in COVID cases *soon* (like, this...

I'll have to set an alarm for my 15 year anniversary...the game should be entering beta by then, right?

^ total "whataboutism"

Another one of those sad yet predicted problems...some poor person with a treatable medical emergency totally unrelated to COVID died because he couldn't get a hospital bed...

A surprising number of people seem to think that they can still get the vaccine & it will do something for them AFTER they have contracted COVID. Sadly, that is not the case, you gotta get the vaccine first... Yup, once your lungs are gone (or any major organ), the rest of the body is just...
