S. Korea marks deadliest day of pandemic as hospital buckle


SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea on Tuesday marked its deadliest day of the pandemic as an unrelenting, delta-driven spread stretched thin hospitals and left people dying while waiting for beds. Health experts warn that the country's medical system is quickly approaching its limits and that fatalities could worsen if the government continues to be slow and hesitant in tightening social distancing.

In allowing larger gatherings, longer indoor dining hours and fully reopening schools, officials had predicted that improving vaccination rates will suppress hospitalisations and deaths even if the virus continues to spread.

But there has been a surge in hospital admissions among people in their 60s or older, who weren't fully vaccinated or whose immunities have waned after being inoculated in February.

Even as infections grew this month, the government has been hesitant in reimposing stronger restrictions, citing public fatigue, and even President Moon Jae-in had declared that the country will not “retreat to the past.”

Officials waited until last week to modestly sharpen social distancing, banning private gatherings of seven or more people in the greater capital region and requiring adults to verify their vaccination status to use restaurants and other indoor venues.

Handcuffing health officials and playing defense for SARS-CoV-2

What a piece of Schmitt.


The ruling (https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/19c20-20.pdf) comes from Judge Daniel Green of the Cole County Circuit Court, who entered a judgment on November 22 in the case of Shannon Robinson, et. al., v. Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS). Robinson and her co-plaintiffs challenged health agencies' powers to issue restrictions to prevent the spread of disease, such as ordering quarantines. Attorney General Schmitt defended DHSS in the case and has refused to appeal its outcome.
Green ruled, essentially, that it was unconstitutional for the state to delegate disease prevention powers to unelected health officials.


"The authority that the DHSS regulations purport to grant to an administrative official to implement control measures and create and enforce orders is open-ended discretion—a catch-all to permit naked lawmaking by bureaucrats throughout Missouri," Green wrote in his judgment.


Specifically, Green ruled that regulations 19 CSR 20-20.040(2) G-I, 19 CSR 20-20.040(6), and 19 CSR 20-20.050(3) all violate the state's constitution (codes found here (https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/19c20-20.pdf), highlighted in yellow). Collectively, those regulations charge local health authorities with the responsibility of establishing disease-control measures, investigating clusters or outbreaks of illness, and implementing appropriate control measures when necessary. Those control measures can include isolation, quarantine, disinfection, immunization, establishment closures, notification of people potentially exposed, and communication with the public over potential risks and prevention strategies. Regulation 19 CSR 20-20.050(3) specifically deals with quarantine and isolation powers and authorizes closures of schools and other public and private gathering places.


Green wrote in his judgment that local health officials should refrain from taking actions on communicable disease prevention "that require independent discretion in a manner inconsistent with this opinion."

Today in Science.org: "scientists see a really really tough winter"


How good Omicron is at immune escape is also becoming clearer. Preliminary data from South Africa showed its rise coincided with an unexpected surge in reinfections. This past week, laboratory assays by several groups have shown antibodies, whether elicited by vaccines or a previous infection, are significantly less effective at neutralizing Omicron than other variants. And based on the first cases, scientists in the United Kingdom have estimated that protection from symptomatic illness is much lower in people who have received two doses of the AstraZeneca or messenger RNA vaccines. The good news is that boosters appear to bring protection against disease back to about 75%, and probably even higher against hospitalization. “I think it all boils down in the end to protection from severe disease,” Krammer says.


Harvard University epidemiologist William Hanage says the question of severity is still impossible to answer. Recent genomic comparisons suggest Omicron only began to spread in mid-October—earlier work had estimated late September—so the variant hasn’t infected enough people to conclude much of anything, he says. By chance, many of the early cases in South Africa happened to be in younger people, who are less likely to develop severe disease. And even if the variant turns out to be inherently milder, the volume of cases will likely overwhelm health systems. “A colleague put it really well in one of our little depressing Slack channels,” Hanage says: “There’s not much that can spread this fast and be benign to a society that’s already got full hospitals without it.”https://www.science.org/content/article/scientists-see-really-really-tough-winter-omicron

[Winehole23]

For now, most European countries are hoping that providing existing boosters widely, in tandem with added control measures such as a ban on large gatherings, mask mandates, better ventilation, and working from home, will help lower the wave of Omicron infections and prevent hospitals from buckling.

Why do you take such offense to getting booster shots? What is so difficult about getting a shot in your arm? You barely even feel the shot going in, at least the Pfizer-BioNTech one. I don't get this right wing act like you're three year-olds or something.

It's not just the additional shots, it's the damn worthless cloth masks and the drama involved with the Karen's who are so terrified of this thing that they want all of society to adopt their beta ideologies.

Get the jab if you haven't, get the booster if you have.


"While as a public health community we are still learning about the severity of cases caused by the omicron variant, modeling shows that even if it is less severe, the sheer number of cases that could come from a variant with the level of transmissibility that we are seeing in other countries could overrun our health care system resources, especially if it coincides with the current delta wave and flu season," says Adriane Casalotti (https://www.naco.org/people/adriane-casalotti)of the National Association of County and City Health Officials.https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/12/15/1064202754/omicron-evades-moderna-vaccine-too-study-suggests-but-boosters-help

De facto rationing of medical care in Colorado



Burch has battled chronic osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis and has had two major intestinal surgeries. One specialist he was seeing left her practice last year. Another wouldn’t accept his insurance. Then, Nov. 1, he started experiencing major stomach pain.


“When we talk terrible problems, I can’t leave the house,” he said. He hasn’t eaten anything substantial in three weeks, he added.


Burch had to wait that long to be seen by a primary care doctor. He said the doctor told him, “‘If things were different, I would tell you to go to the hospital and be diagnosed, have some tests run and see what’s going on with you.’ But he says, ‘As of today, Delta County hospital is clear full. There are no beds available.’”


The covid variant delta has overwhelmed the Colorado county of the same name. Hospitals on the Western Slope have been slammed for weeks, and the statewide picture is similarly grim. As of Monday, the state’s coronavirus website (https://covid19.colorado.gov/data) reported 1,294 patients hospitalized with covid-19. Half of the state’s hospitals said they anticipated a staffing shortage in mid-December; more than a third of them anticipated bed shortages in their intensive care units at the same time.


And behind those numbers, patients are feeling the impact.


Burch’s doctor told him he might have to wait hours in the emergency room, perhaps with people who have flu or covid symptoms. So Burch stayed home.
He’s fully vaccinated. But just 57% of eligible people in Delta County (https://covid19.colorado.gov/vaccine-data-dashboard) have received at least one dose of a covid vaccine. And 84% of hospitalized covid patients (https://covid19.colorado.gov/data) in Colorado are not vaccinated.


“It’s really frustrating because I did the right thing and like so many other people have, and we’re being just kind of like told, ‘Unless you have a really serious problem, like a heart attack, a stroke, you’re going to have a baby or something like that, we really don’t have time to mess with you,’” Burch said. “I mean, it’s just wrong.”


Burch’s situation is not uncommon this fall, as the state faces its second-worst covid surge for hospitalizations and deaths. Hospitals are under tremendous strain and that means delays and changes from normal care, as strapped providers do more with less.


“Hospitals across Colorado are in critical condition. We have been at 90%-plus capacity in our ICU and acute care beds for weeks now. And unfortunately, there doesn’t appear to be an end to that situation in the near future,” said Cara Welch, a spokesperson for the Colorado Hospital Association.


Diann Cullen, 72, a retiree in Broomfield, Colorado, was told by her doctor that her hernia surgery would have to be postponed for weeks. Her reaction: “Frustration, extreme frustration, actually anger, because I said a bad word. … He flat-out told me we can’t even do it because of too many covid patients.”

[Winehole23]

The combination of too many covid patients, the need to treat those who delayed care and staff shortages have pushed hospitals into crisis, said Robin Wittenstein, CEO of Denver Health, which runs one of the state’s biggest hospital and clinic systems.


“They’re coming into hospitals now sicker than ever before. And they’re coming in larger numbers than we’ve ever seen before,” Wittenstein said on the day when most metro-area counties announced they were enacting a new indoor, public mask mandate (https://denverite.com/2021/11/23/denver-reinstitutes-a-new-mask-mandate-for-businesses/). “Our system is on the brink of collapse.”


At the academic medical center UCHealth, Dr. Abbey Lara said the crush of unvaccinated patients in the ICU means patients face longer waits or they don’t get much-needed diagnostic tests. In the worst-case scenario, “patients who could have survived something had their life cut short because they weren’t able to access care,” she said.


And when there are too many patients being treated by too few staffers, Lara said, that ratchets up the difficulty for providers.


“I just worry that there’s going to be not only a lot of turnover in the near future,” Lara said. “But I think that access to health care is just going to get even worse in the future.”


Lara predicted the effects of the pandemic will be felt long after the emergency ends: “The sky isn’t falling, but the sky is going to turn a very different color.”

Ran away from that Navarro talking point real quick I see. You think I'm this huge fan of Fauci just because I consistently defend him lying about masks. That was needed to keep them from being hoarded like toilet paper at a point when PPE was in short supply and nurses in NYC were using trashbags and Yankees ponchos as PPE. And Trump did listen to Navarro with his China travel ban and then his hydroxychloroquine nonsense. I thought the borders should have been completely shut down then but Navarro didn't want that shit and Trump never did either.

And now I'm supposed to blame Biden because a bunch of Republicans don't get vaccinated? What was he supposed to do, tell right wingers not to get vaccinated using reverse psychology like they're a bunch of 9 year-olds? Can't believe that was a serious argument from the right that Biden was trying to trick Republican voters into not getting inoculated by telling them to.

Living with it is reasonable now that we have vaccines. Their prevention efforts the first year though were great.With hospitals already under strain and a more contagious variant capable of immune escape, it may no longer be reasonable on depend on vaccines alone to keep our healthcare system from getting rekt by COVID. The number of reinfections in Norway and South Africa is troubling.

It's also troubling that after world-leading deaths and morbidity, the US still has no coherent strategy to minimize death, suffering and social harms.

Omicron threatens red America



Red alert






Tucker Carlson could do it. So could Laura Ingraham, Mark Levin or Donald Trump himself.





One of these conservative figures could go on the air and explain that the Omicron variant has placed much of their audience in grave danger.

They could remind people that they have been skeptical of vaccines at times — but that Omicron is different. It is so contagious that it may quickly sweep the country.

unvaccinated Americans — who are disproportionately Republican — are now in even more danger than a few weeks ago.

Omicron seems to be qualitatively more contagious than any earlier variant.

In South Africa, Omicron spread twice as fast as the highly infectious Delta variant.

In Britain, officials have estimated that 200,000 people are becoming infected with Omicron every day.

In Denmark, Omicron cases are doubling roughly every two days.

Fox Agitprop continues sickening and killing its viewers, mainly old white people, the most vulnerable

message: the pandemic is over, stop talking, thinking about it

Tucker Carlson Is Over All the Covid Talk:

‘Imagine Telling People About Your Prostate Every Day’

At this point it is simply not an interesting topic for your private life.

Yes, Covid has killed a lot of people.

So has prostate cancer. :lol Fox viewers think prostate cancer is mortally, highly COnTAGIOUS? :lol

Imagine telling people about your prostate every day for the next two years.

People would know that you were a narcissist. :lol LIE

No one would sit next to you at dinner.

You would be boorish.

And that’s exactly what Covid talk sounds to the well-adjusted among us.

When we talk about Covid incessantly, we miss everything else. :lol LIE

And that’s the the real point.

This is a big and complicated and completely fascinating world. :lol not in the minds of your simpleton viewers

Babies are born. The elderly die.

And in between all kinds of amazing things happen.

We succeed, we fail, we scheme, we inspire, we fall in love, we create things that hadn’t existed before, we have deep and valuable insights into life itself.

Human beings do a remarkable variety of legitimately interesting things.

Talking about Corona is not one of them.

So let’s stop."

[boutons_deux]

Republicanism claims more victims:

Pandemic deaths among pregnant Americans are now 'surging'

more deaths for the "pro-life" crowd:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is reporting that

COVID-19 is now claiming the lives of more pregnant Americans and resulting in more stillbirths.

Poynter reports (https://www.poynter.org/reporting-editing/2021/the-number-of-pregnant-people-dying-of-covid-19-surges/) that deaths in pregnancy "rose sharply" in the last two months, and

that 40% of such pandemic deaths have happened since August, when delta began surging in the United States.

Pregnant people have an increased risk of severe COVID-19 symptoms (https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7047e2.htm#T1_down) due to poorer immune responses and other factors,

and the CDC is urging those who are pregnant or are planning pregnancy to get vaccinated immediately.

Solution in search of a problem


His office’s election integrity unit added two lawyers to the team in the last year, bringing it up to six staffers total, and worked more than 20,000 hours between October 2020 and September 2021. Its budget, meanwhile, ratcheted up from $1.9 million to $2.2 million during that time.


Yet records from the office show that the unit closed just three cases this year, down from 17 last year, and opened seven new ones. That includes the newly created unit focused on the 2021 local elections, which has yet to file a single case.

It's true, some of us fully vaccinated will be killed, maybe you or I, which will suck. But for a vast majority these vaccines work very well at preventing serious illness and I'm not willing to trade my life away for five years, ten years, who knows how long this pandemic will be flaring. Now that any American who wants to be vaccinated has been vaccinated I'm ready for us to just start living with it in the US.

The hospitals are going to be fucked in various waves until most everyone not vaccinated catches the virus. It was worth shutting a lot of the economy down when this was a novel virus that put a large proportion of people who caught it in the hospitals, but now it's not novel to people who have caught it before and/or been vaccinated.

Delta wave in Bexar County the unvaxxed rate among those hospitalized for COVID was pretty consistently around 85% despite the county having a vaccination rate somewhere around 70% last time I checked. What do you want done? If stupid people don't want to get vaccinated it shouldn't go on the shoulders of vaccinated people to try to protect antivaxxers from themselves. I'd love to see vaccine passports but that ship has long sailed.

Well, at least free rapid testing is already being done everywhere in the US, you can get antigen tests done free at CVS, Walgreens, and others and have the results in a few hours. I took a free pcr at CVS about a week and a half ago and got results in I think a day and a half on that. I don't think I'd put capacity limits on restaurants now that we have vaccines. Non fast-food restaurants were hanging on by a thread before vaccinations became widely available and people could eat in dining rooms without fear of contracting a novel virus.
