They are forced to do it now due to overwhelmed hospital system. Now people with non covid diseases will suffer too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expecting a big jump in numbers today, hoping not though. to put it mildly. I don't think anyone I know trusts this government nd heir numbers, especially around schools and kids. I think we might see the whole system grind to a halt as teachers. eas, custodians etc take stress leaves in the next 3 months.

There simply isn't enough replacements to cover it I was willing to take the risk working a 2-10 shift as I'd start in the empty rooms till school let out. There were occasions of kids getting too close but I was always masked up. However the new variant, along with a lot people ignoring covid restrictions during Christmas, just makes it too risky. Plus I'm helping out at the parents a bit more. Full props to the people at the school board, very understanding, quality employer. Looking forward to go back, right after I get needled.

There simply isn't enough replacements to cover it I have actually kind of wondered on some of the government's decisions. Like the New Year bars having to close at 8pm instead of 10pm. Is 2 hours really going to have an effect on covid if they're likely already spread what they're going to spread before that time? But, you know, schools are open.... It's kind of like saying one thing in one aspect and then saying something completely different about another. So what's the message supposed to be then?

surtur Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 7 hours ago, gurn said: The US will end up at over 500,000, even if no one else gets covid-ever. http://www.covid-19canada.com/ 8,313,923 active cases multiply by 1.7% = 141,336+ current dead 360,229 = 501,565 Canada 78,949 active, mort rate 2.7%= 2,131 plus 15,926 current dead= 18,051. The US is basically 9 times Canada population. If Canada was the same pop. we would have 162,513 dead. The US screwed up their response to covid costing 339,000 extra lives. No they didn't. Now that the year is over look at the CDC total deaths for 2020 and compare them to the last decade and please share what you find. Hint I was 100% correct months ago (long before the John Hopkins data came out that was removed because it didn't fit the narrative) when I said the death rate in the US is on pace to be exactly where it would have been without Covid. you have all been had and you are still eating up everything they are feeding you open your eyes. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that explain hospitals putting patients in tents, hallways, gift shops? How does that explain ICUs being overcapacity or states running out of ICU beds? As someone who has worked in healthcare for the 9 years, ive never seen anything like this before. 3 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've been asked for a source, when the final numbers haven't been released. This was from late last month, indicating that the preliminary numbers tell a different story there sparky. Preliminary numbers suggest that the United States is on track to see more than 3.2 million deaths this year, or at least 400,000 more than in 2019. US deaths in 2020 top 3 million, by far most ever counted https://apnews.com/article/us-coronavirus-deaths-top-3-million-e2bc856b6ec45563b84ee2e87ae8d5e7 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
