Coronavirus is one mutation away from infecting millions

Seems like an anxiety disorder.

Odd, I'm not feeling anxious.

Announcements like this don't happen unless the situation is pretty bad. Banner is proactively covering its ass.

"We warned you"

Arizona's largest hospital network warned Tuesday that it might have to cut back on care in mid-January, as patient counts hit their highest level of the almost 2-year-old pandemic.



"If our continued forecast holds true, we will be in a position where we will be unable to meet the care needs of all of Arizonans," Dr. Marjorie Bessel, Phoenix-based Banner's chief clinical officer, said at a virtual news conference with reporters.


"We do not want to get there. You do not want us to get there."



In that scenario, Banner would shift to "crisis standards of care," Bessel said. The chain's 18 hospitals could decide who gets the care and who gets a bed.



The hospitals are currently operating under a "contingency level of care."



"We're not at our normal operations," Bessel said. "It means things like we might be doing less do entation than we previously do. It means things like we may be having staff working different types of units that they don't normally work in."

I'm all for the movement that unvaxxed phat phucks go to the back of the line.
Do not get to steal a bed in front of law abiding, fit, mask wearing citizen.

Lettuce proceed.

interesting theory...I have been moderately sick for 8 days now feeling like ...started with on/off fever first few days, body aches, scratchy throat, sinus drainage, sneezing, "tired" etc. Sounds just like Omicron, right? Except I tested negative. Almost all of those symptoms are "immune response" symptoms. Seems like I'm not the only one this is happening to. One theory is that the mRNA vaccines are making our bodies hyper sensitive to any viral exposure and our immune system is automatically going to Defcon 1 with exposure even to common colds.

Really need to start putting antivaxxers at the end of the line since they're the ones causing this.

We'll see what happens when that is actually attempted, Mult instead of just threatened on a CNN/MSNBC dais.

I am quoting from an article in National Review.

*In the last week or so, I heard about a ton of friends and acquaintances who felt really sick really quickly, were absolutely convinced they had Covid-19, scrambled to find a test, and then to their surprise tested negative. One possibility is that because of the vaccinations, some people’s bodies are now really ready to react to any pathogen, and so they’re responding to the common cold or the usual bugs with more intense defenses — more post-nasal drip, higher elevations of body temperature, more coughing, more sneezing, etc. Another possibility is that the mask-wearing and social distancing of 2020 that almost wiped out the usual flu season gave our bodies less practice of fighting off pathogens, and so that now that we’re encountering the usual winter bugs and colds again, our immune systems are jumping to Defcon One.

Joe, loitering the panic button. Ain't as easy as hustlin' race, by God.

Again anecdotal...I've never had body aches and chills from a common cold before in my life. Always thought people who said that were pussies
Happened for the first time this year. I'm vaxxed and boosted.
Cough, congestion, hacking, normal URI I get once a year but this time I had aches and chills, never any fever tho. Didn't spread to anyone around me. Eerie.

National Review haha
Personally I think it's the latter. The colds are just gettin us stronger bc we're not breathing all over each other in one glorious cold ecosystem lol

Yeah, except boosters rarely cause disease, hence the scare quotes

You don't think it's cedar pollen? That has been really high for a couple of weeks.

I'm somewhat bothered by cedar, and could understand the runny nose and sneezing, but I have neve had fever, the body aches and over all "tired" symptoms with cedar allergies.

I have.

Biden did not deliver on any of this, now there's nothing the federal government can do except loosen CDC guidelines.

My dad has had all of them from it. I myself haven't had fever or body aches but definitely have had the tired symptoms from it before. It's one of the most annoying things about December through mid February here, that cedar pollen allergies and light COVID have a lot of similar symptoms.
