    I can only speak to what I see but its the exact opposite. But more so than that, we're a regional transplant and quaternary care facility so we get regional updates as well as hospital updates.

    Numbers are trending down right now however nearly every hospital in the Bay Area is >75% capacity with covid patients. We're about 90% but thats expected.

    I know an ICU doc and he said at the beginning of all this that ICUs are typically 60-75% full. And he said that it wouldn’t take many patients to overrun ICUs across the country and that we were not ready for a pandemic.

    Its the only hospital in the city. 608 beds. I have no idea if that is big or small capacity wise but it was overflowing a few months ago. They had tents outside at one point.

    Also knowing a nurse isn't really a big deal. My wife is one as well. Most of our friends are as well.

    Every first lady since Barbara Bush has pushed for eating healthy and exercise. What does that have to do with stopping a global pandemic that is very easily transmittable? If eating Big Macs were a communicable disease you better believe entire nations would have a huge response that would include lockdowns and muzzles on people's mouths.

    Mac I'm going to focus on sports betting for the rest of the day. You clearly are in your own zone on this. Obese people are all vulnerable to covid much more then healthy people but im a right wing nut so I could be wrong. Good luck on your plays today if you have any that is.

    See, you are being intellectually dishonest. You knew the hospital was full just a while ago (They had to bring in tents for Christ sake) but since only 3 people are there currently, you tried to make it like Covid is overblown and some government conspiracy.

    You should focus on sports betting because your Covid take sucks. You were dishonest and you know it. Now your trying to clean it up. You purposely tried to underplay a hospital in a town that your sister lives in that was fukkking overflowing with sick people just a few months ago. They had to bring in fukking tents to that hospital but you came here to tell us that only 3 people are there now. Why didn't you mention the damn tents in the first place? Because you're being a little bitch.

    I have a thread with my plays. I don't have to make up shit like you sir.

    I didn't try to make it like anything like you said. You are making shit up. Its definitely overblown but I've never said it is a government conspiracy. Mac don't be a mindless individual. Your country has a big problem because it's full of way too many stupid people. We don't have that problem because we have less stupid people. Now back to football.

    Or couldnt it just be that it always going to take a dip if people are getting vaccinated and then the ones not getting vaccinated are getting Covid and then getting antibodies afterwards. If enough of either option happens to both sets of people wouldnt that cause covid to drop. Also how do you know hospitals are empty? Are you visiting them? Are you calling around?

    I think where that message needs to be delivered is through employment in a way. Jobs that offer incentives or reimbursements for health programs, gym memberships, etc. is a better approach then someone coming on TV telling people to run/eat well.

    You really are a major dumbfukk. No wonder everyone here can't stand you. Chico likes you and he is literally the most retarded person on this forum. The topic was the current state of the hospitals. I answered according to that. We have 77% of people fully vaccinated up here and the hospital is now empty practically but the top doctor here is telling us it will get full again in October unless we increase vaccination. 77% and kids under 12 can't get so basically we have 89% vaccinated of all eligible.
    I have never seen your thread on plays but I'm assuming it's hiding in some subforum that no one pays attention to.

    Antivaxxers - That vaccine is made up to control the people

    Antimaskers - Biden just wants people to keep wearing masks and lockdown the country

    These fukking idiots keep blaming the government when they don't realize that THEY ARE THE REASON we can't get back to normal. The sooner these fools die off or get vaccinated, the sooner we get back to normal.

    Biden's been pleading for people to get the jab. Every country's leader has done the same thing because they ALL know that's the only way for their countries to reopen. But these fukkers are so fukked in the head they refuse to listen to logic.

    Let's mandate exercise and eating healthy. That would be great. It would save hospitals from dealing with obese people who get all sorts of diseases and sicknesses from not doing exercise and eating better. I'm not 100% sure but I do believe that the USA has the highest obesity rate in the world.

    You've gone down hill ever since Trump lost. You live in Canada but his lost clearly affected you. You won't admit it but we've seen in in your posts. You haven't been the same since, just like most of the Trumplets. Looks like your life has gone into shambles ever since. You can't even afford to become Pro. Sad.

    Mac, people like you are the problem. Laker is not all on one side. But since he doesn’t agree with everything that you believe (which is literally the MSM talking points) you attack him and claim he is a right winger.

    This is the problem. Factions. Division. You say “what do THEY stand to gain from keeping this going” That is a big part of it. THEY seek to divide.

    And people like you fall right into the trap.

    We don’t all have to agree on everything. Diversity of opinion, thought, and discussion are all great things.

    Numbers are trending down right now however nearly every hospital in the Bay Area is >75% capacity with covid patients. We're about 90% but thats expected.
