He's right, you know. It will go away, after everybody catches it. The survivors will be immune. You know- the same as people who are vaxxed instead. Imagine that. Make a choice? Do your own research? Of course, because you're so smart. Find the secrets of Covid on Facebook. Then let the Dunning-Kreuger effect flow thru you.

Or from another thread and poster I forgot
“Do you want to become immune to tetanus thru natural infection & recovery or do you prefer the vaccine?”
 
Anti-vax protesters tried to storm the BBC television center in London. Even though the BBC no longer broadcasts from there.

Anti-vaccine protesters storm BBC HQ – years after it moved out

Group gain access to old Television Centre in west London, which is now mostly rented by ITV daytime shows

That is hilarious.

The Loose Women co-host Charlene White thanked the security team who kept protesters out of the studio while her ITV programme was on air on Monday afternoon. “Not sure what protesters were hoping to achieve, but all they would’ve found was me, Jane, Nadia and Penny on Loose Women talking about the menopause,” she said.

FYI: “Loose Women” is the UK equivalent of “The View”

So does that mean that anti-vaxxers are "living in the past"?

I don't think people understand that the ideal and preferred, ICU beds/rooms for COVID patients are not the typical ICU beds/rooms that are available for other serious medical issues, and may not understand that converting normal rooms into such ICU beds is not a simple, or even doable. ICU beds/rooms for COVID patients are Negative pressure rooms. (Since this is Anandtech, a board full of nerds, I don't think I need to explain what Negative pressure is). They have alarms that go off if that "seal" is broken that changes that Negative pressure. To do this, each room has to have it's own ventilation system, or extra equipment has to be brought in to be able to manipulate the pressure. So keep that in mind also when visualizing availability of ICU beds. (I learned this with my brother, when he was in such a room for COVID patients before he died).

Just learned something new today
Thanks
 
I'm at the point I can't really feel sorry for those anti-vaxxers. When they actively deny science and facts because it's inconvenient to their viewpoint, then I can't really feel sorry for them.

"I'm not worried — and it's unkind to say this — I'm not worried if an idiot gets COVID and dies. I'm worried he takes other people with him, who didn't have a choice. It doesn't have to be death. Being in a hospital is horrific. There are so many cases of people who were deniers and who are begging in the hospital to get the vaccine."

The video clip posted below by Aaron Rupar completely blows my mind. You've got a guy admitting he doesn't know what the hell he's looking at and what it means, but he's sure it shows voter fraud. And he wants the CNN's of the world to stop fact checking those fraudit pushers. I'm literally at a loss for words. I don't know what to say. How the fuck do you deny science over some bull shit?

When you have Q himself at your moronic conference everything may not be quite within our plane of reality.

My SO is the head of intake for a medium sized healthcare company. That basically means she works the logistics of how to distribute the equipment and resources needed to care for patients. What she is trying to tell people is that the equipment, like the negative pressure room, is important but not really critical. They have done without those things in the past and knows how to work without them in emergencies. Those things make medicine easier, safer, and more effective. The one thing you absolutely can't do without in medicine is the people that care for the patients, and that is what you are really talking about when you talk about ICU beds.

In a typical ICU you have about 1 nurse for every 2-3 patients, outside of ICU you have 1 nurse for every 12-20 (mattering on the level of care) patients. The main difference between a 'normal' bed and a ICU bed is how many nurses you have for that bed. So, while they can work around not having a negative pressure room if they really have to, they can't work around not having a nurse to to attend that patient.

When big emergencies happen there is a pool of nurses they can move around to help, both locally and nationally, but what is going on right now is that the emergency is everywhere, and it is not ending. There is an finite number of nurses, and we are simply running out, so we are asking them to work more and more hours. That was doable for a few months. But we are now into years. We are burning them out, and because we are so short sighted we even stopped training new ones.
