Also, if you can catch a cold, you can catch Covid, so your anti-covid steps have failed eh. Just that simple.

Covid strikes... ...The vaccinated: 80% don't know they had/have it. ...The unvaccinated: 80% don't know they had/have it. Vaccinated go to the ICU le...

I question the efficacy of the vaccine. Yes, a whole bunch of people are going to call me names for it, but seriously consider: Vaccination for small ...
December 12, 2021 at 19:30
Why? Omicron spreads faster and appears to cause less severe disease. This should be seen as a great opportunity to achieve herd immunity faster. More...

Deserve is an attempt to justify some sort of position or judgement. I agree with 180Proof: Nobody deserves anything.

Not sure how the thread flopped from abortion to Jesus. Unless one is of that particular religion, that argument is inapplicable to anyone else. If on...

I agree. I understand the concept, but as it is something that would be entirely different for everyone under every circumstance, outside of a concept...

I will throw in a theory here. Spirit creates soul, which fills the mind, creating consciousness. The mind needs a housing and means through which to ...

Perhaps, but she wasn't after child support, nor was Jesus made from a weekend of fun, so perhaps not the same value attachment there eh.
December 12, 2021 at 00:30
Interesting; considering your usual religious take on things. I would have put you in for going with the one becomes two, the two becomes three, etc. ...

who doesn't want to shoot a judge now and again?
December 12, 2021 at 00:15
I agree, there are no heroic measures in place to keep staff and patients safe. Healthcare was already very broken before 2019, at least in my country...
December 11, 2021 at 23:02
Yes. When we all go home and the healthcare system grinds to a halt, remind yourself of that.
December 11, 2021 at 22:50
Ok, but what do you give our chances of achieving it on earth? Perhaps on the moon or Mars, with the threat of dramatic and irrecoverable death oversh...
December 11, 2021 at 22:49
Sure. However once you are no longer able to work unless you comply, you cannot attend a gym unless you comply, nor a swimming pool, nor travel to oth...
December 11, 2021 at 22:43
No, my main qualm is with mandates. My minor issue is that we have crap quality stuff to work with. A napkin is a useful as my mask. Covid is real. An...
December 11, 2021 at 21:44
yep, it is. Thanks for reminding me.
December 11, 2021 at 21:04
Maybe listen closely to what they are saying, and before assuming they are a nutcase, consider the implications if they are in fact being entirely acc...

Crappy mask worn right. I am not allowed to wear the proper mask. I do in fact know my business, however, just because I know what is what does not me...
December 11, 2021 at 20:54
That kind of mask, sure. Hell I support wearing a mask for valid reasons. I wear an N95 and goggles when I suction any patient on a ventilator, becaus...

Sadly most people are not only unwilling to fight for their freedom, they offer it up willingly for the perception of safety. Disturbingly similar to ...
December 11, 2021 at 19:35
Agreed. The vast majority of people do things that have inherent risk in them, because they choose to, for whatever personal reasons. What I find inte...

You capture the problem quite nicely. Flying is statistically safer than driving, however there is absolutely no aspect of control with flying, unless...

Yep. The Nazis were working toward their common good. Common good: the mother of all evil.

Only an epidemiologist has valuable input here? Ok. Would everyone not an epidemiologist please no longer contribute, I look forward to the silence. M...
December 08, 2021 at 23:25
I absolutely agree. Healthcare should have determined a clear course of action and moved forward with it. Rather than mandating vaccination, open hone...

my job is to provide emergency healthcare to those who need it. Emergency rooms, ICU and critical patient transport is my playground and specialty. I ...
December 08, 2021 at 23:07
sure. But are you going to keep forking over money for nothing? Paying little for nothing is still a waste of money.
December 08, 2021 at 22:14
Princess, there is no war. Nothing has changed. There is always a bug waiting to get you, always something new and terrible. This time the argument is...
December 08, 2021 at 22:07
Christianity is frequently evil in it's responses to any religion not it's own, and any people that decide to stand against it. There is truth in the ...
December 08, 2021 at 11:46
No. The alcoholics get a great deal of the blood transfusions however, and ICU time. We treat what comes in, when it comes in. We don't sit at the doo...

Standard response to living. Here Coronavirus has result in 30000 deaths, over 20 months. However, a regular month has 24000 deaths, so really, an inc...

If this sales pitch were applied at a mechanics shop, no one would go back, everyone would want a refund, and the shop would be out of business in a v...

Nah, not my medicine. Just all my training and experience up to April 2020. After that the expectation shifted from "provide patient care and be a pat...

one's feeling of obligation to contribute is based on one's feeling of attachment and subsequent responsibility to society. If one does not feel an at...

You work in an ICU, or are you just running the regular rhetoric? Actual healthcare provider on your end, or armchair theorist? I am thinking armchair...
December 08, 2021 at 05:38
I am not responsible for this. I would have made something far more lethal. If you are going to do something, do it right eh!
December 08, 2021 at 04:29
Depends on who you consider the enemy. On this side, that is exactly who you are supporting.
December 08, 2021 at 04:28
The sad part is that it appears the majority are still buying into the bullshit speeches. Just stunning.
December 08, 2021 at 04:27
Umm, No. The deaths are on life. end of story. Everyone currently breathing is going to stop; that is non-negotiable, no matter who does what, when, o...
December 08, 2021 at 04:26
Sure, other than being wrong, you are spot on. Well done.
December 08, 2021 at 04:20
That's right, blame something other than the virus. Actual science and vectors and viral spread can eat it; the powers that be yelled out the wrong an...
December 08, 2021 at 03:37
Notice how despite all the restrictions, vaccines, masks, etc Covid is still roaming around eh. As it always was going to. The propaganda lines remain...

Depends on your definitions. But no, this is not generally considered the middle of nowhere.

Not sure what sits poorly about it really. When I was self employed I worked hard. My customers were happy to pay the bill, even when it was for somet...

Why not step your game and remove workers from the system? Why go through attrition by not making more workers (antinatalism) when one could simple re...

Very much so. Currently my province has, roughly, 4.5 million residents. We also have, at normal operating levels 173 ICU beds. So one bed for every 2...
