Most ER's are completely inundated with Covid patients that are standard to telemetry levels of care, and hospitals are holding their ICU beds in reserve for those inpatients that crash.Quote:

Nope. And there aren’t only two sexes given the fact that there are also intersex people.Quote:

Let the record reflect that Goosey refuses to acknowledge that I specified that exceptions exist and may the record also reflect that he doubts the validity of the government endorsed information which disagrees with his opinion.
Your government source was talking about sex, not gender. Which is why it isn’t relevant.Quote:

Why do all the questionnaires for everything under the sun ask for gender and then offer Male/Female as the choices? Is every survey, doctors office, insurance form, and other just that ignorant?
They say “sex” unless they actually mean gender. And if they say “gender” it isn’t binary and you do not answer your sex.Quote:

Many, if not most, companies are now woke and no longer refer to married couples as husband and wife. It's now a partnership and non-gender/sex.
What antivirals are they giving there just out of curiosity? I know inpatient and in some infusion clinics there's a good bit of Remdesivir given. I know that some are prescribing Ivermectin, and I get it to a degree. We are to the point of throwing crap at the wall to see what sticks.Quote:

Still, apart from being unhappy and not at peace, she gave up all the traditional measures of success. No one would choose a different gender for fun or personal benefit. If you are a different gender, you do get to choose whether to present consistently with what you know you really are or suppress it. Transphobia is unnecessarily cruel to people who you should have empathy for.
It’s cheap, therefore it’s not a good treatment. Double blind studies. You’re welcome.

The study (though not yet peer reviewed) shows that if you have mild COVID you are 2.62 times likely to not longer have detectable levels of the virus at day 6 of treatment. The claimed benefit is reduced period of time that you need to be quarantined. Does suggest antiviral activity but this is a small study on a patient population that was likely to recover from mild COVID without intervention (in fact half of the placebo arm had no COVID at day 6 anyway). Meanwhile, you subject yourself to the side effects of ivermectin.Quote:

A few things are in play.. main thing is your pulse oxygen levels.. If they dip into the low 90's you need to see your Dr. and get put on oxygen. It's best to have a pulse oxygen monitor at home if diagnosed with Covid. We have had one for years from my days as a volunteer firefighter/paramedic. Other thing is to watch to make sure symptoms don't get worse and you get other complications such as pneumonia etc.Quote:

I agree with respect to regeneron as well. Failed to list it. I just feel very strongly that we have multiple options, but I know of several people who tested positive and a doctor told them to go home and ride it out. Just go to hospital if you get worse.
In north LA that's what all doctors and hospitals are basically doing -Quote:

And of course WHO kowtowed to the Chicoms, everyone with a brain knew that when it happened.
“An employee of the lab gets infected while working in a bat cave collecting samples. Such a scenario, while being a lab leak, would also fit our first hypothesis of direct transmission of the virus from bat to human. This is a hypothesis that we consider to be likely,” Peter Ben Embarek told the Danish public channel TV2.

It's not very often that I am on the fence on issues. But, truthfully on the whole mandates, masking vs. non-masking, the real effective of the vaccines, the real death rate... this is as close to being a fence-sitter as I ever get. And as such, I catch grief from both sides. This is why folks tend to be "tribal" on matters. Gonna catch hell, so might as well take a position and stand with those who agree with that view point.
The French are going ballistic over the so-called vax passports, and 450,000 people took to the streets of Paris in protests. In Australia the frickin' army has been turned out to keep people from traveling more than 6 miles from their homes. Wow! in a freedom-loving country like that!?
Much closer to home I have family and friends who are at polar opposites on the issues. All are very passionate in their beliefs...and I find myself in unfamiliar territory playing peace keeper. As one VERY liberal friend reminded me, quoting from the Bible, "blessed are the peace makers."
Masking is about control. Period.
Distancing is common sense, but the idiots in charge call for shutdowns instead of natural (or getting the shots) immunity.
Like this time last year, those at risk need to stay their ass at home rather than look at those who refuse to mask as "the problem".
I can already tell you that our inbred governor force us back to the limited seating for outdoor events.
Had COVID last October.... in both lungs and double pneumonia.
Was as careful as could be....social distancing, mask, etc. the mask don’t help a damn bit. My doctor counseled to get an oxygen meter and if be,ow 92, go to the hospital. On day 8, I knew I was trouble. Found a doctor that treated me with steroids, antibiotics (to reduce inflammation), inhaler. That was a thursday. Saturday morning I coughed up all the mess in my lungs. My follow up the next Tuesday, I was making antibodies.
I have seen friends get ivermectin right off the bat and do great. I have seen friends get the plasma right off the bat and do great. I am no medical expert but I truly believe our health care system is behing handcuffed.
Treat early and aggressively. If you are high risk, stay at home.
I did get the phizer vaccine because I still travel and know that I will need a vaccine passport. I go in every 90 days for antibody testing. My last antibody test before vaccine was 182 positive. That is 10 months after getting sick.
It took me 6 weeks to fully recover and get my strength and energy back. I am still playing catch up at work....unreal.
If you get sick, don’t wait. Find a doctor that will treat you ASAP. Don’t make the same mistake I did and think that you will shake it off.
Also, have a business associate and friend that contracted COVID in summer of 2020. His doctor treated him with z pac to reduce inflammation in his lungs, prednisone and plaquinil (sp?). He went from bad sick to back on his feet in 3 days. He is late 50s but not overweight.
Again, there are treatments available - you have to find the right doctor.
Friend of ours got it. Early 30’s. He refused to get any treatment and elected to stay home and ride it out. His mom is a nurse who has seen early intervention work and he still thought he was tough enough to just get over it. It’s been a couple of months and he still isn’t back to form physically. Early treatment is key and these new variants appear to replicate faster. Original virus might make you worse in 5-7 days. Newer strains are making people sicker much faster. ACT EARLY!Quote:

It’s a multifaceted problem and that’s part of it. Whenever Louisiana became a compact state a couple years ago, it made it much easier for nurses to cross state lines and go to work without the hassle of applying for a license. Then Covid hit last year, and a lot of them left going on travel assignments making insane amounts of money. 7-8 k per week in some places that was hardest hit. A lot of them never came back, or made enough money to stay at home and ride this out.Quote:
