If we all ignore, we will reach herd immunity. Do your part!

Frankly, I don’t understand understand engaging with the clown, but I guess we’re all entertained in different ways.

Imagine bashing nurses on the internet. Total asshattery.

I wish Matthew Stafford still played at Georgia since he doesn't win playoff games.

We need a stop like Trump needs 11,000 votes in Georgia here.

Another gem from The Ghost of Ernie twitter feed

Nobody did that. I simply mentioned they don't do continual, heavy, strenuous physical labor for 8-10 hours. So a mask doesn't inhibit their breathing as much. The same is true about cops and teachers, but that doesn't mean I'm bashing them to point that out. Your accusation is simply dishonest and slanderous. But I'm convinced you knew that when you said it.

I remember. Wishful thinking, Pandora's storage place has been opened and can't be reversed. Repealing the Fairness Doctrine was the beginning of the downhill slide of the media. Killed mom and pop stations, just like the big box stores killed mom and pop businesses.

I had ignored the troll for a couple of days, but then when he started marginalizing nurses, I jumped back in. I should not have. He is not someone with whom you can have a reasonable conversation.

It doesn't matter. This is about that misleading data you posted from Germany. That wasn't five years ago.

the Pfizer therapeutic could be a big help if they can get distribution up and running, but with testing so backed up too many people will probably end up missing the window for its best use.

way back in the dark ages, Government recognized that with nothing but a profit motive, mass media could easily degenerate into a socially destructive force, so they required media to act in the public interest as part of the licensing process. It wasn't a perfect solution, but the fact that the Gov always held the hammer of being able to revoke a license still had a powerful effect - to the point that media companies didn't even operate their news divisions as profit centers. If conservatives are so hot to get back to 1950's values, that was one of them.

I guess I don't see the point of stating what is "usual." It's been 102 years since anything like this hit the US, so 'usual' is not the order of the day.

100s of other things weren't super contagious, killing hundreds of thousands of Americans. If Malaria was spreading like crazy and it was known to spread asymptomatically by humans I would. If me having skin cancer put my family at risk if I was around them, I would. (For what it is worth, self assessment for skin cancer is a good lifestyle move)

Amen! So we need to quit hyping this and scaring people into going to the hospital out of fear. Many people suffer harshly with the flu, and they don't fly to the hospital every time they sneeze. That's because we're familiar with the flu and there is no govt/media propaganda scaring people into fleeing to the hospital every time they exhibit flu symptoms - and they can get pretty severe. People stay home, bed rest, medicate, and wait it out. If more people did this with covid, the hospitals would be clear. Fact is, most of them are anyway. Surely you guys are familiar with the naval hospital ships that were in the harbor when NY hospitals were supposedly full? And almost nobody was sent to them. I know a medical officer on one of those ships. Dr. J.D. Howe, who was waiting for sick people who never showed up. Hundreds of beds available and nobody was being sent there. It's almost like they wanted to present the narrative that the hospitals were overfilled.

I've gotten tested five times, and every one was precautionary and asymptomatic to add assurances the family I was visiting would not be put at risk.

At this point, keeping people out of the hospital should be the goal. If the vaccination doesn't prevent infection, at least it will make the cases more mild. I guess we'll deal with the next variant when it hits.

Michigan didn't play their A game or close, but even if they had they probably would have lost by 14. Georgia is great in all facets.

I would like to propose that any team that makes the playoff can bring back one alumni currently in the NFL to play. We'll see how good Georgia looks against Tom Brady.

Wonderful lady. A trailblazer. When she had a variety show and put a black dancer on it, advertisers threatened to drop out, so she put him on MORE. Cancelled not long after that. She wanted to be a Forest Ranger but women weren't allowed in those days. Not fair and a bad break for her, but we all lucked out for it.

My kid was in UoM’s Mott Children’s Hospital for 10 days due to ecoli, most of that time in PICU, intubated twice and pretty much in a deep sleep for 3 or 4 days. She had wonderful care. My wife and I were handled with a delicate mix of matter of fact and compassion. These people have to deal with very sick children and highly confused and emotional parents. I have no idea how they do it. I get pissed off at my job and then think about “our vacation at Mott”. And those situations are still going on now, at Mott, at other hospitals all over the place. And now toss COVID on top of it? I couldn’t fathom working in that atmosphere before, and the situation now has to be so much more draining and stressful.

They probably need some dependable electrical sources, too.

Even though I've had the vaccination and the booster this hasn't been pleasant. Since I have lung issue my doctor has me set up to get the antibody treatment. If its this bad with the vaccine I would hate to do this without it.

Yeah - but it's a dry cold......

Imagine thinking that you have a job that is more physically demanding and dangerous than that of a nurse.

Try slinging around 300-400 pound obiese sedated patients that shit all over the floor. Then when your done with that go hold the hand of a child who's mother just overdosed and their family is saying goodbye to them. You have no clue what an average Nurses shift looks like.

LOL. I'm sure 150# nurses do that all by themselves on an hourly basis. I'm not saying nursing is easy. I'm saying they don't have the continual physical demands of many laborers. They can wear masks to perform such occasional tasks.
