CECAA850 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Hopefully I'm within the boundaries of the thread. I was listening to the head of the CDC yesterday. She said that 75 percent of all covid deaths were from people that had 4 co morbidities. She also talked about covid hospitalizations. 40 percent of recorded covid hospitalizations were patients that were hospitalized for something other than covid but were routinely tested and had it.

billybob Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Yes some are calling it incidental cases. @Travis In AustinAustin. I see no alternative to being optimistic. Stress is a bad thing so, offering hope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You teach children that they should be protected from every obstacle in life, they become soft and dependent. Then they grow up to become fearful adults. Fearful of everything. Maybe that's how YOU have raised your children. You don't speak for everyone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However empirical evidence points to that being a common paradigm. Along with the ever increasing attempts to making everyone happy. Life's royal pain sometimes and rarely fair. Too often ignored facts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to PM me about that. I'm with you on the boundaries, and encourage anyone to go PM if they are not sure, or do the fact checking. This thing affects me and my job immensely. I'm on sick leave at the moment, unsure of an exact diagnosis---probably the upper respiratory thing Bruce mentions. It makes me more cautious than I might otherwise be, not wanting to inadvertently spread something that could affect others far worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 And, lots of reasons unstated for optimism. Another month in the US should see some relief finally for hospital workers. At least hope so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
