My wife’s mother works at a hospital and says it’s 50% vaxxed 50% unvaxxed and my buddy just got out of a different hospital and the doctor told him it’s 75% vaxxed in that hospital so do you believe the media or the people that actually are in these hospitals
What hospitals are these? I would love to verify your info. Not asking for names of persons....just the name of the hospitals.

Go visit a hospital and tell the doctors and nurses there it's all a lie, they are scaring the sheep and they aren't really dealing with an explosion of Covid cases right now.
Rather be a sheep than a thirty percenter 🤡
I haven’t got it yet and been exposed more times than I can count and been to Florida 4 times the so called hotspot so I think I’ll take my chances and not take the poisonous jab 🐑🐑 and nobody said it’s a lie people are getting sick it’s just not all unvaxxed its about 50/50 in all the hospitals around me but let me guess all the people I know that work in these places are lying 😂😂😂😂

Just as a recent example, do you think this CEO is being untruthful and misleading the public ??

I'm gonna withhold comment on the pros and cons of masks, other than to say I predict a rash of nacho banditry in the concession areas. I recommend a two-handed carry, and having a wingman with empty hands ready to rain blows on any would-be anti-social snackers, and remove that mask.

You'll know trouble is at hand when you hear someone shout, "STOP! That's nacho..."

Spitting while talking is nothing new. Like how some folks get the flu and die and most do not.
Study isn't on spitting while talking, it's how much droplets get through a mask during a speech. Which would tell you if they do anything or not if used properly and which do a better job at least in this one study.

You know bub, you need some dirt on you. Not you in general, but all of us. Gotta get that immune system strong.

Now it’s gone from you know people at two hospitals who say it’s 50/50 (or 75/25) to it’s 50/50 at “all the hospitals around (you).”

I can tell you at UK this Friday is was 10% unvaccinated and 90% vaccinated and almost all the vaccinated people they are seeing are immunosuppressed or have comorbidities like COPD.

I think we are really talking semantics here. Yes, vaccinated people can carry the COVID virus, but carrying the virus or even testing positive via a nasal swab doesn't mean you HAVE COVID. Each of us carry MRSA on our skin, but few actually develop a MRSA infection.
Actual data does show that if you are vaccinated, the viral load you carry will be smaller than an unvaccinated person. So those persons are indeed less likely to infect others.

No the hospitals around me with people I know work there are giving me this information that is Corbin Manchester and London. The other hospital around me is Knox county but I don’t know anyone that works there so believe what you want I will believe the people I know that works at these hospitals some are vaxxed that I know so they have no reason to lie

I do not think people are suggesting those you know are knowingly lying, but they can certainly be misinformed. According to this report from last week, your general area appears to be a hot spot. Stay SAFE, my friend.

I wonder if community hospitals are keeping the vaccinated patients because they aren’t as sick, and sending the sickest patients - who are more likely to be unvaccinated- to UK, skewing the numbers

I will update that he did get in yesterday
I know why there are no beds... a hospital here in Louisville has three floors closed because of staffing issues. A number of staff walked off the job once the vaccine mandate was announced. Several more are waiting to be terminated in Sept, and are utilizing PTO or just flat out not reporting for work.

Typical vaccination rate among hospital staff is about 50-75% across the country, most of that being the administrative side.

Hospitals are drafting emergency contingency plans when their mandate dates hit, and staff still have not complied. Some hospitals are suggesting using the national guard, expecting significant portions of their staff to walk off the job.

Next time you're there, ask them how many beds they have available that aren't staffed. I bet you won't get a straight answer.

From heroes to unemployment in a year, it would seem.

WSAZ Huntington WVA News station suggesting Insurance Companies are going to charge extra fees for the unvaccinated. Only the beginning. Edit Delta Air Lines will charge all unvaccinated employees using their insurance 200 a month.

My 2 or 3 cents.....
I am not anti-vax, I got my shots last March. But I am anti-mask. We know these cloth masks do not work. At this point its political posturing and politicians being scared.
I live in a small county of 66k people. It was put out that 100% of the ICU beds were full at the only hospital in the county. Sounds scary, but The hospital has 8 ICU beds. I'm not making light of the virus, but there have been bad flu seasons were the ICU beds were full.
Somehow last winter the flu was damn near nonexistent around here. Makes you wonder?

The cost of freedom, apparently.
Without adjustment, overall group rates will go up and affect the vaccinated, so it appears they are trying to risk-adjust premiums.

What hospital? I asked yesterday and you still haven't answered. I would like to fact check your 50/50 info with the hospital.

False. They don't totally stop the spread but the do curtail it and it depends on the type of mask and how it's worn. A simple cloth mask is only about 20% effective but a properly worn KN95 mask can be as much as 80% effective.

This has been proven, but logically ask yourself, if masks don't prevent infections why would hospital staffs wear them?

Unfortunately because of the unwillingness for a large number of people to get vaxed, it would not surprise me if masks will be required at sporting events this year. Being outdoors definitely reduces the risk as opposed to indoors but sitting in close proximity with someone who is spreading Delta will almost guarantee you will become infected.

People not listening to the advise of medical experts is why we are in this situation and if they continue not to listen it will only get worse. I don't want to see games cancelled this year.
How many people in public do you see wearing an N95? If you are sitting in a packed stadium with a simple cloth mask, I would like to see your research that says the mask is providing 20% protection from the virus.

We know that the Delta V is shed by vaccinated and unvaccinated, alike. We also know that about 8-10% of hospitalizations for the Delta V are vaccinated patients. Getting the vaccine for this variant does not preclude being a vector for the virus. In fact, because a vaccinated positive may be asymptomatic, that person could spread and never know they were viral.

If trends hold, Kentucky should have plateaued on the DV by the time of the game.

The vaccination rates you cited are pretty consistent with the rate across the U.S.
Now that the FDA has approved the Pfizer vaccine and studies are proving that over 90 percent of those hospitalized with Covid are unvaccinated....at this point they deserve to be fired for refusing the vaccine. In fact, they are a danger to their patients.
Anyone this ignorant to science doesn't belong in healthcare to begin with.

“Not even up for a debate”

sCiEnCe iS sEtTlEd

You simply parrot what bureaucrats and Big Pharma-sponsored corporate media say. Doesn’t matter how many times the elite get exposed not adhering to the BS they want to impose on others, people such as yourself are there to be sheep for the appeasement of a group who doesn’t care one iota about you.

Says the guy parroting … checks notes … right-wing pundits who likely wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire.

You’re doing EXACTLY what you accuse your political adversaries of doing while either being too blind or obtuse to notice your hilarious hyperbolic hypocrisy.

If YoU dOnT tHiNk LiKe Me, YoUrE a ShEeP!!

Regarding Baptist Healthcare in Corbin, from the article:

"Powers noted that all those patients currently in the ICU are unvaccinated."

Again, some folks look at the published numbers of "breakthrough" cases and assume they are as deadly as those unvaccinated.

They aren't!!!!!

I guess I don't get how Trump is common folk and not an elitist? I mean he supposedly has hundreds of millions of dollars, Properties named after him, POTUS for 1 term. How much more elite can you get?
Don’t forget he inherited more money than most billionaires…. Grew up with private schools and country clubs. Legacy’d his way to Wharton….more elite than anyone!!! Dude never went into a bar, a church or stepped foot in a red state until he needed the votes…

oh and was a life long democrat, anti-gun, pro-choice and a HUGE Hillary lover and donor…LOL
