In Tennessee, every House Republican has signed a request the governor call a special legislative session to ban any Covid prevention measures. This after parents in a white wealthy school district physically threatened medical personnel who spoke in favor of masking in school.

They are against mask mandates in schools. Not “any Covid prevention measures.” In my opinion the jury’s still out on mask mandates in schools.

Wrong. Read the letter.

And jury is not out on masks. Read the studies.

Wrong twice.
 
A Wall Street Journal editorial is not a scientific study.
 
Everyone's COVID test from my bachelor party in Vegas has come back negative so far. There's zero fucking chance I'd allow someone unvaccinated to roll. It was packed as fuck, mostly maskless, etc so thank god for the Vaccines. The crowds were were in were downright scary. Young people don't give a fuck.

Greene waves off concerns of hospital overcrowding: 'We can't live forever'

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Thursday waved off concerns over hospitals exceeding capacity due to COVID-19, saying “we can’t live forever.”

During an interview with right-wing network “Real America’s Voice,” Greene claimed that the media and public health officials are over-hyping the number of people that have been hospitalized with COVID-19.

“I've talked to local hospitals here in my district in here in my state. Yes, the waiting rooms get full, but guess what? The waiting rooms are full of all kinds of things, not just COVID,” Greene said. “But they're seeing about 30 percent of those numbers being COVID cases.”

She further said that while the media “tries to tell us” that hospitals are “slam-packed with COVID,” that simply isn’t the case.

"Everybody needs to get back down to common sense and remember that, you know, we're human, we can't live forever, we're going to catch all kinds of diseases and illnesses and other viruses, and we get hurt sometimes,” she continued.

Hospitals around the country are struggling as they see a surge of COVID-19 cases fueled by the highly transmittable delta variant.

One hospital, Memorial Health in Chatham County, Ga., told a local ABC affiliate that it had to stop accepting patient transfers from other hospitals.

OHSU statement on Aug. 10 COVID-19 forecast

The latest data on the delta variant of COVID-19 and its predicted impact on Oregon is dire. By Labor Day, OHSU predicts that the state will be short 400-500 needed staffed hospital beds. This means that some Oregonians will not be able to get hospital care for COVID-19 or any other condition.

Cases are rapidly rising and the current forecast predicts that Oregon will have more than 1,000 hospitalized COVID-19 patients by Labor Day. This is the worst-case scenario that Oregonians worked so hard to avoid in March 2020.

It’s a shocking number, and one that was repeatedly checked against other available data and the effects of the current surge observed in other states. Oregon is in a difficult position because we have the fewest number of available hospital beds per capita than anywhere else in the United States. Oregon hospitals are also simultaneously experiencing severe staff burn out and workforce shortages.

Therefore, unless Oregonians take immediate action, there will not be an available hospital bed for many patients who need it for COVID-19 or other urgent issues like heart attacks, trauma accidents and strokes.

I wonder if her parents got her the Hepatitis B, Rotavirus, Diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis, Haemophilus influenzae type b, pneumococcal conjugate, inactivated poliovirus, influenza, measles, mumps, rubella, varicella and hepatitis A vaccines when she was a baby, or if they told the doctor to use some common sense and remember that she's human and not going to live forever. She's going to get diseases and stuff and get hurt sometimes.

That (reading the editorial) only works if you are a subscriber to the WSJ.
