IanforHeisman Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 With 2700 new cases in one day I don’t think anyone is scared of the beach pics.. Humans in general tend to not give a shit about something unless it happens to them, I think Covid is a good example of that. We’re all guilty of this in some form. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSF Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Texas hits new highs in new cases and hospitalizations. I dont have any pics. Just close your eyes and picture a crowded table at a bbq joint or something... 2 Quote In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just fear porn. And if they do run out of hospital space, what will you say then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, given the sheer size of the state, a lot of those beds are nowhere near the places the cases are occuring. Quote In the beginning the Universe was created.

Just like most people that have died from this virus. Will they turn them into crackers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like most people that have died from this virus. I get it, these are sick, old people who were going to die in the next few years anyway. The problem is when it’s accelerated like this and they all die at once, our healthcare infrastructure can’t handle it. Lockdowns were supposed to give our system more time to prepare for the increased volume of hospitalized/ICU patients. If there was no lockdown the entire country would have looked like NYC all at the same time. High population areas that didn’t use the time to prepare are going to look like Italy/Spain/NYC. If high population areas run out of hospital beds because the old, sick people are taking them all up, what happens to the young healthy people who get into a car accident and can’t be treated quickly because there is nowhere to treat them? We’re likely about to see how it plays out in Arizona because they are at about 80% capacity right now. We need to be having these conversations because we can’t just lock everyone in their houses, but we also can’t do nothing. You seem like you don’t want to move off the do nothing hill no matter the fatality rate. Would it make a difference if the sick, old people start piling up and die in the waiting rooms or at home because the beds were already taken? How close to the 2 million deaths prediction do we need to get before you come off your hill and meet anyone half way? Or is it ok because they were going to die anyway, so it might as well be now?

The Arizona situation will be telling for sure. We've seen a huge amount of positive cases here in Florida over the past few days. ..check any news feed. But, according to our experts, the hospitalization is very low..meaning we have lots of empty beds. Covid hasn't gone away despite our clicking of heels and wishing.
