Its a Nightmare
Ive never bagged so many thirtysomething-year-olds, leaving behind young kids, pregnant wives, one nurse said.

MIAMIAfter ending a 12-hour shift on Sunday, an intensive-care unit nurse at Baptist Hospital was ready to put August behind her.
The nurse, who spoke on condition of anonymity because she did not have permission from the hospital to speak to reporters, said the past month was the worst of the pandemic so farechoing the horrific hard numbers in the state.
Its horrible, the nurse told The Daily Beast. Ive never bagged so many thirtysomething-year-olds, leaving behind young kids, pregnant wives.
The screams when we tell them their loved ones didnt make it, the nurse added. Were exhausted.
Across much of America, frontline hospital workers are going through similar stress and fatigue as they grapple with a devastating coronavirus surge primarily fueled by the Delta variant and vaccine hesitancy. But in Florida, experts and medical workers say, a uniquely stubborn and denialist Gov. Ron DeSantis has helped transform hot vaxx summer into a summer from hell.
With skyrocketing numbers of cases, hospitalizations, and deaths this summer, any optimism that the Sunshine State was rounding the corner on the pandemic has been laid to waste. And September may not offer any respite.

My thoughts about the unvaccinated are much less sympathetic.

(10,072 posts)When you compare TN death rate due to COVID-19 to nation wide numbers and global numbers, TN is better than anywhere in the world.
I bet Florida's numbers are just as magical.

(18,745 posts)It's a crime that some of these states are being allowed to lie about their Covid death counts. Disgraceful.

(20,867 posts)but we have the opposite, we would be seeing that in areas that voted overwhelmingly for MF45 their death rate is 5 times higher than areas that voted for president Biden. Then again even if the MSM pushed this statistic the Magats would deny it, besides, people dying hurts president Biden, even if they are GQPers. The death cult.
So did these Florida hospitals give the patients horse paste? I shouldn't post this, it belittles unnecessary deaths.

We'll get thru this at some point, its just a question of how many have to DIE to get us there. It will never go away, but become something like the annual flu we already deal with.

(32,356 posts)Some people are making uninformed or bad choices. But some are also just getting hit with the virus even when they did everything right.
There's no fairness with Covid infections. There's no Angel of Death going around choosing the ones who deserve to die. It seems pretty random to me, but there's really only one way to beat it. The vaccination is how we put our thumbs on the scale and turn the odds in our favor.
Anybody who doesn't get vaccinated - at this point - is flirting with death or serious disability.

A nephew died in a traffic accident in his late 20s, leaving behind a young wife and four daughters.

(45,261 posts)since the ICUs are full of COVID patients. People have died of treatable issues. It's shameful to see this in a developed wealthy country.

(3,340 posts)It can't be more obvious, they know they are getting people infected and killed, why is it that no one is stepping up to present an accusation, an indictment to these murderers?
What is going on, is everyone in power afraid?
