How Bad Is Covid In Your Area?

[FGB]

Around here is Really, Really bad.

Five hour wait at Urgent Doc...people showing up from fifty miles away.
people trying to get their shots for themselves and for their kids.

Many teens have it. In out lying small towns and communities the health services are just covered up with people all over East Texas.

We have had two people die were I work.

I know of three other people out with it and My boss and another are just returning to work.

My daughter is a nurse in Texas in a hospital filled with covidiots. 99% are unvaccinated and they fall into two groups - those who regret not getting the vaccine and those who deny it right up until they die. All the nurses wish they could turn these patients away and send them home to die. Lots of bitterness but they do the best they can in spite of their personal feelings.

For the unvaxxed not very good , my woman is having to work un- voluntary OT plus cover shifts for the sick and quarantined.

Basically it blows , but on the silver liner side , we are banking serious thank you bonus dolla’s

 

[Philthy_Phil]

We had like 126 new cases the other day and 2 hospitalizations. With 2 major universities and a college in the region, these numbers will start increasing in 2 weeks.
We are like 86% fully vaccinated, wear masks in stores and try to distance. The states flexing their freedoms from masks are idiots .

Some coworkers had it, or had something. I haven't seen bodies in the street yet. I could forget there is a pandemic without the nonstop coverage at every news site.

tennessee now heads the states list of covid cases per 100,000 people

over 3.2 million fully vaccinated out of a population of 6,994,260

13% available hospital floor beds (though some areas close or at no beds available)
6% available ICU beds
65% available adult ventilators
31% available airborne infectious isolation rooms

6,698 newly reported COVID-19 cases and 76 newly reported COVID-19 deaths on Sep 03, across tennessee

my county: - Inpatient beds occupied: 44.0% (26.0% by COVID-19 patients)
--- 39.7% more availability than Tennessee overall
- ICU beds occupied: 100.0% (100.0% by COVID-19 patients)
and it's not alone, many reporting 100% ICU beds full, many others not reporting that particular stat, and most the rest around 70%+ full

Less than a month into the new school year a total of 12 school districts were reported to have closed on September 1 and would remain closed until September 7. One school district announced a closing until September 13.

“Staffing shortages and hundreds of confirmed cases among students are driving these choices,” The Tennessean newspaper reported.

The seven-day average of daily cases for adults and children in Tennessee by August 27 was 6,089 or 42,623 a week, and a total of almost 24,800 children tested positive for COVID during the same week. That represented 53 percent of all new cases. Their ages: 5 to 18.

The Covid situation around my town has been pretty good up to now, but I expect it to get worse. We're an academic center, so people tend to have working brains in responding to this. But the major university here (starting two blocks from my house) is back in session. It held a football game Saturday (won, 43 to 0) in a packed stadium with few masks in sight. I expect Covid to become a problem quickly. We also, until now, have handled this medically without problem. A new wing of the university hospital opened just in time for the big wave of hospitalizations and that wing was dedicated to Covid patients from all over the state. I wouldn't be surprised if that gets challenged now.

I haven't let up on sheltering from March 2020.

Not bad in Cali because our governor did the right thing and most of us also do the right thing.

This. ^^^^^

We are averaging about 350 new cases per day. It will probably go up with school starting.
85% of hospitalized Covid patients are unvaccinated.
80% of Quebecers are now fully vaccinated. We remain under a mask mandate (it’s been over a year) and the Vaccine Passport went into effect on the 1st.

It works. No where near the chaos like down South.

You live in Virginia?
Never been there.

Covid is pretty bad in our area. And it's the same story as everywhere else only particularly bad here due to the level of willful ignorance: Hospitals filled with people who claimed the vaccine was "dangerous", "a plot by those Marxist Socialist Democrats (sic)" "engineered by the deep state to track movements,"or "Against My Freedoms to get vaccinated!" or that Covid itself was a hoax.

 

[thør]

Our numbers are worse than Texas.....

I normally travel among three places, Central Virginia, yes, but also Key West, Florida, and Kyrenia, Cyprus. Since sheltering from Covid, I've been staying in Virginia, though. This seems the safest.

Here in Texas our Governor is trying his best to see how many children and young adults he can kill with his stupid mandate about "No mask mandates".

 

[jaF0]

My area consists of a total population of one. 100% 'vaxxed'.

One case of an unknown ailment presenting inconclusive symptoms, but believed to be allergies.

 

[Champakian]

Moderate to low.

There haven't been any terminal cases in a long time, but then,
other than the college campus and the box store strip out by the interstate,
we have a pretty dispersed population. The hospitals have a few cases
but they are certainly not being "overwhelmed."

Less than half of the people you see are wearing masks
and that number is skewed by the employees of
various merchants and other businesses.

You say that while at once, having read all about "THE Science,"
knowing that those are the least effected populations...


Right???



~~~ or ~~~



Is this one of those cases where the politics "TRUMP" the science?

 

[rockcasbah]

Virtually zero covid where I am. People never really stopped masking and a high level of vax.

I travelled internationally last month and movement in europe felt much free-er. The strictest parts were in and out of the Cdn border.

Going to lake como next summer, hopefully things will be better by then.

On the Holy Grail of Vaccination:

Covid is mutating as fast as the common cold or the flu.

How fast will we be with our Covid vaccinations?

Will it be about as (in)accurate as the
annual flu shot?

So has anyone heard the mortality rate of the flu for 2020, 2021 yet? And not the estimates the CDC publishes every year. The real numbers.

I haven't looked, but I will bet a dollar that for 2021 so far they have been low to non-existent. The same might be true to for 2020.

I don't know as I just don't fucking care about all this shit anymore. It's been almost two years of this and the government just wanting you use us all as lab rats. No thanks.

 

[sweepthefloor]

the last shift i worked half of the ICU census were suffering with covid, of those half most were on ventilators, and two were on vv ecmo. a few are hanging on with the high flow oxygen and non-invasive but they are so fragile.

so compared to a month ago the amount of severe covid is increasing.

last flu season we did test for influenza on our admitted patients with viral type illness and most were negative. which makes sense due to the increased hand hygiene and mask wearing as flu is a droplet transmission.

 

[Saint_Ann]

20 out of 158 booked a room at the hosp. with the covid. Is that bad?

 

[pink]

Pretty bad. We're back to masking in public again, vaccinations or not.
