Talk about “Worst Person in the World!” If only Keith Olbermann were a conservative.
That’s not true with the Delta variant. Hospitals are filling up with kid with COVID. It is true that the mortality rate for kids is still very low. It is also true that RSV is causing some hospitalizations, but COVID hospitalizations of kids is still spiking.
Get vaccinated. Wear a mask. COVID and vaccines are not part of some conspiracy. I work in healthcare with a lot of doctors who give this advice, and I trust them. Doctors I’ve known for decades didn’t suddenly become part of some conspiracy.

And they know that how exactly? My wife had an upper respiratory infection for a few weeks. Tested negative for Covid multiple times. I asked the ER Doc about the “Delta” variant and he laughed and said he had “no idea where they are coming up with these numbers, because there is no separate test for Delta” He explained that you test either positive or negative for Covid. There’s no way to know what variant you have.
When they have a vaccine maybe I’ll get it.
Right now, all they have is an experimental genetic therapy.
Also, how do they tell?
There is no test for the delta variant. They have to sequence the virus to determine that it is ‘delta.’
It’s absolutely possible to detect the Delta variant. The type of test used is called genomic sequencing, which is a different test than regular COVID tests. States send samples for the second test - genomic sequencing - to specialized labs every day. That’s how they detect new variants, and how they can tell which variants are more prevalent at any given time. Here’s an article describing how they do it in Minnesota:
Joy Reid was put on this earth by Satan to test our Christianity.
The vaccines are safe, and the very small risk from a vaccine is greatly outweighed by the risk from COVID.
It’s not gene therapy. The vaccines don’t alter a person’s own genome. They use mRNA to stimulate protein synthesis of the spike protein in the virus. Every person’s genes are turned on and off a zillion times a day for a zillion different reasons.
See comment above. They’re sequencing samples every day at specialized labs, so they can determine the prevalence of each variant within specific communities.
So interesting these med experts with their "Hospitals are all filled up!" declarations.
So maybe PATy is familiar with one med center - but somehow knowledgeable about ALL regional hospitals??
We have the same bleating from others who sound like clinicians or who "work with a lot of doctors" like this. 18 months into a pandemic and our med resources are now overwhelmed??
No one is saying not to wash hands and all that - we here can use good judgement.
But these The Sky Is Falling creeps are creepy.
How many diseased illegals have been placed in Florid in the last six months Joy?
It wasn’t just Governor Cuomo who sent elderly Covid patients back to elderly care facilities. Four or five other Democrat governors did the same. Of course it eliminated non-productive old people (probably many conservative) who were costing state governments money, but how do you spell “murderers.”
Where are the Biden daily press conferences, not that I like seeing him every day? Trump was all over this. Biden just takes a nap and that’s just okay with the media - he’s doing a great job taking a nap.
That too.
