We are in a state of emergency in Orlando

Area hospitals are overflowing with unvaccinated #COVID patients and we have nowhere left to put them

We need a field hospital

Please help us

1. Close the theme parks, re-open the tent hospitals. nt

[roamer65]

2. Hotels.

Start kicking out travelers, if there are any left…and put covidiots in them.

Gee, if there only were a vaccine for this illness.

[lpbk2713]

3. Close restaurants. No more seated dining.

It is costing lives to keep them open.

4. where is Orlando mayor at ? get him going on this

[monkeyman1]

5. where is Orlando mayor at ? get him going on this

6. If you live in Florida,

whatever you do, don’t have a heart attack, or a stroke, or an accident, or let your appendix burst, or get cancer.

There’s no room at the hospital for you. Thank your unvaccinated neighbors.

[Mr. Evil]

10. If you are unvaccinated and contract Covid, please go to the nearest Tractor Supply for Ivermectin.

Or get some Hydroxychloroquine. Or jam an ultra-violet light up your ass. Just stay away from the hospital. If you are vaccinated and contract Covid, then come to the hospital and we'll be happy to treat you.

It's an absolute fucking shame that these doctors, nurses and all other technicians and assistants have to risk their lives treating these backwards ass, doofus hick dumbfucks. They hate the science until they want every scientific technology available to save their pathetic selves. They're the reason this is happening! And they're putting other people and patients that need urgent medical care at risk too. Put 'em in a tent outside and let Rand Paul treat them.

[BigmanPigman]

16. CA has plenty of dumbfucks too.

I saw on the local news in San Diego a group of nurses and other health care workers protesting that they should NOT be required to be vaxxed to be able to go to work. They said that masks are enough. I couldn't believe my eyes. I swore at this group on my TV for about 30 minutes I was so pissed off. I hope the same outcome for them that I hope for every other unvaxxed ass. Actually I am MORE pissed off since they are setting a bad example for the public as nurses as well as possibly spreading Covid to others.

[Mr. Evil]

17. IKR.

With all the covid patients in the hospitals they could be considered perpetual superspreader events. And I've seen this phenomena all over with nurses refusing to be vaccinated. It defies all logic.

[BigmanPigman]

19. I just sit and shake my head in disbelief.

I don't get it. I just don't get it. How can nurses be so ignorant? It boggles the mind.

[Mr. Evil]

20. There seems to be a lot about this country that boggles the mind lately.

I hate to be a pessimist but, this is going to get worse and possibly chaotic. Our sordid underbelly is finally being exposed.

[BigmanPigman]

21. You're not a pessimist but a realist.

[Mr. Evil]

22. That, I am.

Thanx for the compliment!

[smirkymonkey]

23. Completely agree with this.

Don't we have a national database of people who have been vaccinated yet? If not, we should. When they check them into the hospital, anyone who is not on that list should go out into the emergency covid tents in back and will be treated when othter priority cases have been taken are of first.

They knew the risks and decided to ignore them. I am not saying don't treat them at all, just give them low priority. There are other , more deserving people who have been doing everyhing they can to stay alive and healthy, and some for whom serious disease and trauma come as a great shock. Those people should be the first in line for treatment.

[JoanofArgh]

27. We need this badly. Just reading an article on how fake vaccine card sellers are popping up

everywhere , selling cards to the students of the 650 universities and schools that are requiring vaccinations. Every time anyone goes in to get a shot it needs to be entered into a national database so cards can be verified.

[spinbaby]

29. We need.a scannable QR code

I just saw on the news how diners in France show a QR code on their phones, which are scanned by their waiter to prove they’re vaccinated.

[JoanofArgh]

33. Great idea! How can we be so unprepared?

Republicans try to sabotage everything is probably a good reason why.

[Roland99]

28. Had someone on FB, last night, telling me ivermectin was a cure

Posted a couple links, incl fda, showing it’s not safe at this point. Barely in any form of clinical trial

He blocked me

[Duppers]

12. A good friend in Palm Harbor...

..is being treated for cancer as an outpatient and is taking as many precautions as she can. We worry for her safety not just for her overcoming cancer but her exposure to Flor-covidiots.

[alwaysinasnit]

7. They should send these patients to the governor's mansion.

[SunSeeker]

8. Horrifying. nt

[brewens]

9. The way this spreads, are we looking at a "bring out your dead" scenario in a week or

two? What if things crash so bad there is nowhere to go, no responders to come help?

[Delphinus]

32. That is truly

a very scary thought.

[Initech]

11. Thanks anti-vaxxers!

14. 28,000 new cases. Three days ago was 24,000.

Looks like FL will be the state with the most problems...thanks a lot Deathsantis.

[DemocraticPatriot]

24. But he's "winning the pandemic"!

[Shanti Shanti Shanti]

25. and "business is booming", which is all that matters, but you never hear that part

[Progressive Jones]

15. Get rid of "Greasy Ron". nt

[calimary]

18. That certainly would help.

Who’s running against him?

[obamanut2012]

26. Nikki Fried and Charlie Crist

[Earth-shine]

38. Guess who? C'mon, who else would it be?

30. Oh, yay, we're going to Disney World

Seriously, we are. It was all booked and paid for this spring after we were vaccinated and things seemed safe. My son still wants to go on the grounds that we’re vaccinated and everyone will be masked at the airport and at Disney. I need to point out to him that if his mother has a heart attack, there’s no room at the hospital.

[LisaL]

31. I would certainly avoid going.

[Treefrog]

37. A friend of mine works for an airline. She's at a large hub airport.

She sees idiots without masks, or wearing masks with the nose showing, or chin slings every single day. It only takes one.

[spinbaby]

39. I've flown several times since April

Overall masking is fairly good, certainly much better than our local grocery store. Although I do know someone who acquired a breakthrough infection from flying on an Ethiopian airline with a large aggressively unmasked youth ministry group. American, of course.

[mdelaguna]

34. Implement travel regs so those virulent unvaxxed can't just fly interstate

International travel rules require recent negative & sometimes proof of vax’s. Seriously need the same so we highly vaxxed states and counties don’t let these idiots travel and spread at will. Inconvenience them for crying out loud. And NYS has a great scannable Excelsior vaxxed pass linked to state vax records that would be a good model for a National one. I’d like to see that tied to highway ez-pass. Inconvenience these people. Macron has the right of it.

36. I knew this was coming.

Florida is the first.

We stocked up to stay home.

Never had to happen.
