What point is it you are highlighting exactly?

True things. Cases have risen, deaths have not.

So when faced with that very true data, it shifted to people are panicking about hospitals again.. just like they did last year when we sent a medical ship to NY and set up medical tents that were then never used. People need to stop listening to the fear mongers.

That is true. But it’s also pretty unmistakable which way the trend is headed and will likely stay for the next month or so.

Honestly, I’m not nearly as afraid of Covid as I am what diminished Hospital capacity means for people with other illnesses.

Is it really diminished at this point? One of my parents got a joint replacement last summer and the other has been undergoing cancer treatments since before this started, including multiple hospital stays. I’m kind of at the point where everything to do with this subject is gonna have to be based on things I personally observe before I’m going to take anything presented by any media source at face value. I realize the fallacy of anecdotal evidence but I feel like that’s the only source I can trust at this time.

Cute except my wife and I are both vaxxed. We made a choice that should be available to all. I am against the tracking, shaming and forcing going on with this. You spread as much disinformation as the antivax crowd too

Sadly, I am requesting a refund for several tickets to a show this Fall at a Nashville venue that could use the money, Exit/Inn where I’ve been going to shows for 30 something years. They sent out an email today saying everyone will have to show a card or negative test result for entry. I keep that card in my wallet but I’m not showing it to anyone to go watch a band.

Let me give you real life example of the scenario you are talking about. (I'll say right here, Chattanooga is not facing what Baton Rouge is right now. Thank you God.)

My dad went to the ER on a Saturday. He had chest pain. He sat in the ER til a bed was available, instead of driving back home and coming back to the hospital (he lives a little more then an hour away). They were going to do a stress test on Monday. On Sunday afternoon, they scheduled an arteriorgram for Monday morning instead of the stress test, they thought it was likely he would need stents.

On Sunday night, around 11pm, he was rushed to an OR, and three stents were put in his LAD artery. It's the widow maker. And it was 100% blocked. If he had gone back home Saturday, he would not have made it back to the hospital Sunday.

Hospitals filling up KILLS people. And I don't think any of us disagree that media/news coverage gets sensationalized. But these are REAL PEOPLE that are at risk. And acting like it is just a bunch of hooey is incredibly insulting.

That's pretty selfish. But you do you.

Make a copy or put a picture o Your phone. They will likely accept that. Give em a call.
We have Little River Band and Rodney Crowell booked.
The problem with Nashville is it's a super spreader event every day. Country Music fans in loud venues 6 inches from each other face trying to be heard.

I started going to the exit inn in the early-mid 70s.

I know that here locally, it’s definitely diminished. I know two people that have been to the ER in the past week and it’s bursting at the seams because they hold people there for so long waiting on rooms.

I hate the idea of a vaccine passport for anything.

My story is very similar except I ended up with 4 bypasses.
Glad they caught your father's in time.

Not even sure where mine is. Hopefully the wife stuck it in the safe with our other passports

I'm glad your dad is okay!

I'm saying that the headlines about hospitals filling up are not true, just like they weren't true last year when we sent the ship and the tents and they sat vacant. My wife is a nurse, and during the covid peak last year, they were sending her home because there was nothing to do. As the data that I sent around here a couple of times already shows, while people are going to hospitals, they're being released much sooner, very few are in there for more than a couple of days before being sent home.

As we learned last year, hospitals run at near full capacity all the time. I wish I could help people stop being so afraid.

Well Volllygirl, it appears either Erlanger or Memorial are intentionally trying to kill people as shown by them being so slow to check out your father’s chest pain. Obviously they had plenty of ER space since the Bass’s wife’s hospital has.beds!

That's right. Any personal stories that confirm the narrative are to be taken as 100% true.

Any stories that contradict, well they're false and should be ignored.

He got so lucky. When they got there his enzymes were normal. Seven hours later they were elevated. The whole thing was a miracle. That's all we can think. God is good.
