Sorry, I don't take news from entertainers seriously. If you have a conspiracy theory to share, go ahead.

984,000 dead of the COVID, El.
And counting.
I wouldn't count on COVID to thin the ranks enough to tilt elections and anyway, immune escape is already vitiating this effect.
I also think celebrating the death of political adversaries by COVID is an L for public health. Death is hardly the only metric that counts and cheering on an infectious disease is barbarity, more or less.
I'll just bet you do.
I think it's funny if you want to choose political ideology over getting a simple life-saving vaccination and then get got.
I think it's sad, your mileage may vary.
more evidence of damage to the brain from mild infection
there is no back to normal. not the old normal, anyway.
https://www.beckershospitalreview.co...-findings.htmlSix key survey findings:
Nurses are considering leaving, and it’s not just a Covid issue:
90% are considering leaving the nursing profession in the next year, with 71% of RNs that have over 15 years of experience thinking about leaving as soon as possible or within the next few months. 72% said they were experiencing nurse burnout prior to the pandemic.
Workloads are increasing and is staff decreasing:
43% said a shortage of technicians meant they were doing more tasks like cleaning units, procuring supplies, and clerical duties as part of their workload. 39% said they were experiencing more serious mental health issues, like anxiety or depression, due to their increasing job demands.
Rising patient-to-nurse staffing ratios:
45% of RNs said the estimated patient-to-nurse staffing ratios across shifts are currently 5:1, above the standard of 4:1. 84% of emergency room nurses and 96% of intensive care or critical care nurses have 4:1 ratios, double the optimal target of 2:1
High ratios impact nurse burnout and patient care:
Overworked and overstressed, many nurses are trying their best but are making mistakes they don’t usually make. Medication errors or delays (38%), sharps injuries (33%), and healthcare associated infections (31%) are other impacts nurses have seen due to critical staffing shortages.
Care is less accessible for patients:
Understaffing and delays are also impacting hospitals’ ability to provide care. 36% of nurses said that they had seen patients with acute health conditions walk out of the ER because they had to wait excessive amounts of time for an inpatient bed. 37% said that surgeries had to be rescheduled because of bed shortages.
Manual tasks are a critical source of nurses’ frustration:
Nurses cited multiple steps hospital leadership can take to ease nurses’ workloads, help deliver better patient care, and increase the likelihood of staying at their current hospital.
Many of these steps nurses cited would not have a financial impact; they could be achieved through existing resources and better processes. 53% overall want streamlined processes that ensure visibility into patient needs and communication. Another 45% said better communication and coordination across departments, and 40% said improved and expanded communication and representation with hospital leadership would improve satisfaction.
Automating manual processes would go a long way toward improving staff satisfaction. 45% of nurses said that referrals and transfer processes were the most manual, while 42% said updating paperwork and 42% said orchestrating patient discharges.
The summary is fine, but was there any distinction between investor-owned hospitals and taxpayer-owned hospitals?
It is known that doctors working and investor own hospitals are not seen as caregivers but are seen as revenue centers
I read that for-profit hospitals or abandoning domestic PPE manufacturers and going back to just in time. Chinese manufacturers

more transmissible, not more severe, with some immune evasion.
sounds remarkably like the narrative surrounding Omicron, which caused 120,000 US deaths in two months.
https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/art...test-data-says
- The BA.2 subvariant of Omicron, or the “stealth” variant, has been outcompeting the previously dominant BA.1 subvariant in several countries.
- Recent studies suggest that BA.2 has a compe ive advantage over BA.1, mostly due to its increased transmissibility.
- The BA.2 variant may also be slightly better at evading immunity than BA.1, which could be contributing to its rapid spread.
- Although BA.2 is more contagious than BA.1, clinical data do not suggest a significant difference in disease severity.
BA.2.2 about to break Peru's record for deaths per million in Hong Kong
With
* Original Wuhan-Fauci variant infection
* Two Pfizer shots
* Omicron-AIDS variant infection
How worried should I be?
I'm done
Don't fret, Winester. Biden is gonna hit that MILLION mark of Americans dead of the COVID this month.BA.2.2 about to break Peru's record for deaths per million in Hong Kong
COVID is over because Karrin got impatient with it.
I'm boosted and relatively unconcerned for myself, but I do try not to spread COVID to others when I'm in public because I'm not a sociopath. There are also people in my life who are more vulnerable than I, whom I wish to protect.

https://www.latimes.com/california/s...ment-obstaclesBecause the antibody treatment has been sent to a limited number of medical providers, patients in the group have closely monitored a federal database that shows where Evusheld has gone. In Pasadena, Karol Franks said she spotted doses that had been sent to nearby hospitals and reached out to doctors to ask about getting it for her 36-year-old daughter.
“I said, ‘Hey, I see there’s Evusheld.’ And they’re like, ‘What’s Evusheld?’” Franks recalled.
One physician told her the treatment was still not available. Another said that her daughter — a kidney transplant patient who had no antibodies despite being vaccinated and boosted — was nowhere near the front of the line at his hospital. Franks persisted and her daughter Jenna eventually got the antibody shots elsewhere.
“If you’re a patient, you really need to stay on top of things,” Jenna Franks said. “You can’t just wait for the doctor to tell you what to do.”
So far, the federal government has agreed to buy 1.7 million courses of the treatment from AstraZeneca. As of late February, it had delivered nearly 600,000 doses for free to states and territories, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Patient advocates have raised alarms about that number, pointing out that at least 7 million adults across the United States are estimated to be immunocompromised.
