Enjoy!
The lockdowns are coming.
The COVID pandemic is spiraling out of control?
You don’t say.

We probably should’ve had someone in the White House on top of that…
You guys must be living in Lala land. Out of control?
I’ve seen no disruptions this season from the pandemic. None.
Hospitals aren’t even near capacity in my area.
Get ready for the crunch. Time to get out of the market.
They are in mine.
I’ll bet you that if you really crunched the data - they’re not.
Do you have capacity statistics? Would love to see them.
The above shows were just fine.
We’re already through January and capacity hasn’t been bled through.
This shit is so overblown it’s ridiculous.
I literally just had 3 relatives go through covid. I know about 50 people that have. All mild symptoms. All got better at home.
I know we’ve gone through this ad nauseum but if you’re under 70 and relatively in good shape, you’re fine. Isn’t even a big deal.
My wife just had an elderly uncle go through it (90’s)… fine.
Only a butt hurt Trump supporter can say this.
402,000 as of today.
Did you just show me a graphic showing California’s “critical” and then say we’re “just fine” ?
Look, dude, LA is in a bad way right now:
Ambulances circle for hours, unable to find ERs that can accept patients. Hospitals are running out of oxygen. ICU capacity is at zero. Patients lie in hallways and tents. Emergency room nurses have more patients than they can handle — sometimes six at a time.
The National Guard has arrived, not to help treat patients, but to manage the flood of bodies. As Los Angeles County approaches its millionth case of Covid-19, doctors describe their wards as war zones.
In Los Angeles, ambulances circle for hours and ICUs are full - STAT
Here’s a hospital that’s operating at 320% capacity:
One L.A. County hospital ICU is operating at triple its capacity amid COVID-19 surge
A few weeks ago, Southern California’s ICU capacity hit 0%:

Keep in mind, this is different from ICU beds. There are more beds than capacity, because patients take over other “normal” hospital beds, encroaching through the hospital, which explains how that hospital above can operate at 320% capacity.
Nurses are all working overtime, and state limits on how many patients they can serve have been necessarily suspended. And supplies are dangerously low.
So sorry, try again.
GSC is becoming more and more like Storm each day. Can’t accept any kind of reality. Especially when it comes to COVID, because, you know, Trump led us to where we are now.
There’s Chester again
That’s one hell of a response to 305’s post - owning you.
Correct. We’re not anywhere close to where we were last April/May/June.
We were having makeshift hospitals made. Emergency orders for ventuhlatuhs (Cuomo… can’t help myself.
The reality is that it’s indisputable that we’ve tackled this pandemic.
We know how to treat it. We understand it. There’s no “crisis”…
Many of the people it kills were on track to expire shortly anyway. Not all. But most.
Deaths down, hospitalizations down. The only metric up is infections.
You’re correct. LA is much much worse.
The only thing worse is your weak response to my well-cited numbers, which you completely ignored.
Self determined validation huh?
If you are trying to tell me that we are worse off today that we were last March though June, you’re nuts. That’s the only measurement that meatters.
Some places absolutely are. Texas and California are averaging 2x and 3x higher daily deaths now than then. This is indisputable. Look at the daily cases and deaths to verify.

You come here throwing around terms like “self determined validation” yet you haven’t even attempted to refute my well-cited numbers. Someone’s validating themselves, and it’s not me.
TrumpU is still trying to defend FORMER president Trump’s shitty response to this pandemic.
Hey GSC. Simple math lesson for you. In around late spring or so, we went a stretch where we were averaging around 2,000 deaths a day. Absolutely brutal.
Very recently, we’ve been hitting 3,000-4,000 deaths daily. Which is worse? 2,000 daily deaths or 4,000?
So for you to say we’re doing better now is just flat out denial.
Sure, we know more about how to treat it. And thank god we have vaccines rolling out. But to say we’re fine, it’s not a big deal…you’re lying to yourself.
But I get it. Out of 402,000 American deaths, so many of those are elderly. And we know that the elderly don’t count.
90% + of them it can’t be determined what the ACTUAL cause of death was.
402,000 x .1 = 40,200 deaths.
Tragic. Not pandemic.
Now you’re changing the argument (a sign that you’ve lost this one).
Doesn’t matter what multiplier you use, there are still way more deaths now than there were then.
