Or do lockdowns and pointless preventative measures (that don’t actually prevent anything) for the remainder of our existence…. Also a great idea I guess
Vegas — you’ve always been a moron, but at least you’ve been consistently so. I’ll give you that, at least…
Yes they are dying.
one thing to think about, when talking about “unvaccinated “ patients, is to consider what criteria that hospital or health system uses to determine that status. For example, my health system doesn’t consider you vaccinated if: A) you aren’t past two weeks since your second shot (non J&J), and B) if you’re past 6mo since your last shot.
reason being is that your antibodies aren’t fully developed until 2 weeks, and those antibodies significantly wain in efficacy after 6mo. The Johnson vaccine is essentially worthless after about 2.
I can tell you they are doing analysis in my health system on death rates for this very reason. A lot of our patients come in soon after getting 1 or two doses of the vaccine.
there’s a LOT more to the data than what’s on a 3min segment of cable news.
what is completely true at this point, however, is that this virus is here for the long run. It will continue to mutate and spread. These vaccines aren’t permanent, and based on toxicity, I highly doubt the fda will ever approve 4-6mo boosters from here on out….so None of these measures are going to prevent what our clear reality is. At this point, it’s nothing but optics…

Unlike you, Vegas, I actually appreciate science. I don’t mouth off with phrases like “trust the science!”, and “scientist say!”
I actually follow, read, and study what actual scientists and medical professionals say. I dig into data because it’s what I do professionally, and personally, because i like it.
And please. I don’t watch fox, or any cable “news”. I’m not an idiot…
Sorry bro, but I don't make my decisions based on political connection or some idiot on a news network. Shit just doesn't make logical sense to me. Omicron spreads more easily than the other variants put together. That's what is said and that what I believe. It is also said that it has only caused ONE death worldwide. That's reported on anywhere you wanna look at. Reports are that it causes MINOR symptoms, not to be confused with the original strain that hurt our healthcare system.
We MUST treat this like the flu and live our lives. This is NOT a political debate brother. It is a common sense discussion. I am NOT attacking Biden here, nor am I backing anything any news says. I am using my own head.
I have a few friends living in Vegas ready to GTFO because of restrictions....IDK.... peace my man....
One of my good friends is double vaxxed and got Covid. Five days after his positive test he tested negative and felt healthy again. He tested positive on Monday and by Saturday was good. The Saturday before his positive test we hung out together and I tested negative. His wife tested negative too. I honestly don't understand how it works and who gets sick.
So roughly 10- 15% of PCR tests are false positives. That could explain it. Only real way to know for sure is with antibody test.
what’s interesting is that there are no known reinfections of this virus. The cdc had to be sued (with additional FOIA requests) in order to admit as such. There’s a lot of bad info out there, and unfortunately much comes from trusted historically institutions

New CUSA would only have one team over 200. Looking good. Hopefully by the time we start we can get a few more in the top 100, looking at you UTEP and WKU, and SHSU into the 200s.

According to Rice basketball tweet the Rice @ UTEP mbb game on March 3rd has been picked up by CBSSN.
SEC and AAC are surprisingly not that strong this year, the A10 is. CUSA has to be at the bottom. CUSA has spent so much energy on football that basketball is horribly anemic…..again.

I’m pretty sure Boum left SF because he didn’t want to share minutes with Bouyea and Shabazz, both better players than him. Bouyea is a similar player to Boum but is more controlled, scores just as much but shoots in the high 40s percent wise from the field. Shabazz handles the ball better than Boum and also shoots at a higher clip. They all came in about the same time.

I was there, when Durant and company had the Longhorns ranked #1 in the country for a while. I remember the local sports stations would talk more about who the kicker would be for the next season than Durant. Austin cares more about BPL soccer than they do about Longhorn bball.
