Corona virus, the non-asshole thread

DHEC reported Tuesday that while hospitals are at 77.5% utilization rate, only 8.3% are covid.  Of those 11.9% are ventilated. 

 
Hate to hear that but I totally understand. The sad part is this current wave was largely preventable. 

Are you taking one of these 'traveler' jobs?
No, I wouldn't mind those pay checks but usually there's a reason they pay so much. I'm switching facilities and trying out a new area.

our hospital system just cut off surgeries that require overnight stays...sucks if you have cancer b/c morons won't get vaccinated...in our country only 0.15% of all posititve covid cases have been vaccinated (data from last 8 weeks) and no one wears masks...the mask isn't the issue it is the vaccine...of course this would assume that everyone who has been vaccinated gets tested when symptomatic

if you are unvaccinated hospitals should get a choice whether to treat you at this point...people like Corpsman and many others are leaving the healthcare/hospital field and that is more problematic IMO that treating people who won't help themselves...personal choice to the grave

Biggest weekly jump in cases here since February, and the number of Delta cases has tripled over the course of that time. Not good.

 
in the state of Tennessee when they report vaccination rate it includes everyone...I guess I never assumed it would include those who are ineligble by age in the numbers...how will we hit herd immunity when we already have 15% of the country who is ineligible?  ~47 million citizens under the age of 12...in my county our vaccination was is reported at like 37% but when we remove children it is closer to 50% (which still sucks but better than I had assumed)

I use this NYT site for covid stats. The Map has by county infections rates, vax rates, etc.

We have to piece together info since our governor has halted the release of numbers.  However AdventHealth, one of our Orlando hospital systems reports that they have 1,350 COVID patients.  Orlando Health reports 573 COVID patients with 91 in ICU. My little coastal county reports 575.3 cases per 100,000 people.  The whole state is a death trap.  I urge people not to visit at this time.

that looks similar to my neck of the woods as well...stay safe man...I am seeing so many middle aged to older patients who had covid and survived but continue to have lingering symptoms and that is what I don't think a lot of people consider (not your of course lol)

 
behind a paywall for me...can you see if they include all people in their percentages in terms of vaccination or just those who are eligible
I think you need to sign up for a free account. I do not have a NYT subscription and can access it, but maybe I had to sign in with a free account initially.  

It breaks down percentage by different age groups. 65+, 18+, 12+ and total population by county.
