Forbes Breaking News ^ | 5/8/21 | Ron DeSantis

Posted on 08/05/2021 5:36:03 AM PDT by Eleutheria5

Earlier today, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) spoke to hospital CEOs from around his state to discuss the summer wave of the Delta variant.

Delta is less deadly, more catching. Vaxed recover quickly. Biden and Fauci are a lying sack of sh!t. Hospitals not overrun in Fl. The opposite.

FYI, this is a 43 minute video. Just know you’re going into a long stretch not an article summarizing it.

The standard covid test doesn’t tell you what variant you have. It only says whether or not you have it. How do they know all of these are delta cases?

Governor DeSantis is brilliant for this event. Let the heads of the hospitals share the facts to counter the fear porn.

How can I tell if I have the Delta variant? Do labs report that to the state?

That information may not be readily available. The viral tests that are used to determine if a person has COVID-19 are not designed to tell you what variant is causing the infection. Detecting the Delta variant, or other variants, requires a special type of testing called genomic sequencing. Due to the volume of COVID-19 cases, sequencing is not performed on all viral samples. However, because the Delta variant now accounts for the majority of COVID-19 cases in the United States, there is a strong likelihood that a positive test result indicates infection with the Delta variant.

Delta bug,
You make deep staters feel smug:
Could you be a faded virus from China skies?
And did I hear you say
Infected patients goin’ away
To go up to their mansions in the sky?

A little off-topic, but why is the Biden administration so unprepared for any Covid variants and a possible uptick in hospitalizations? Biden railed for a year against Trump’s handling of Covid, yet here he is, completely over his head on what to do — other than force a “vaccine” on people. The MSM will never report on this, but we need to get the word out about his complete failure.

The fearporn is carried by the media. The media won't report this story.

Delta variant now accounts for the majority of COVID-19 cases in the United States...


Based on what you said before that, how do we know that?

“Thermo Fisher’s New Rapid Genotyping Solution
Dr. Gandhi then described how Thermo Fisher’s new TaqMan SARS-CoV-2 Mutation Panel* offers a broadly deployable solution for rapid detection of known variants. ‘We certainly have a lot of different tools in our toolbox,’ said Dr. Gandhi. While next-generation sequencing (NGS) and Sanger sequencing are also available for variant surveillance, the mutation panel offers a quick option to look for specific mutations and variants of concern. “We have about 22 verified assays already and we are constantly building on this menu,” said Dr. Gandhi. He continued, ‘this uses the same real-time PCR instrument that is used for TaqPath assays and you can run one or a few hundred samples, depending on the type of format or the setup that you have.’”

Nope. That was sorta my sarcastic point in a post about a week ago about my wife & I possibly getting over it. The illness was odd, but I was sarcastically highlighting both the hypochondria about delta and that the illness was very mild. But somehow my sarcasm went undetected. Sometimes the tag IS necessary here...

“On Monday, 24 hospitals in Miami-Dade reported 1,389 patients with COVID, compared to about 1,800 a year ago. For now, 20% of COVID patients are being treated in intensive care units; a year ago, nearly 30% were in ICU wards.”

If you are not getting the "vax", then get an rx for ivermectin if you ever get symptoms and then have quercetin, Vit D and Zinc for "near symptoms" or when you are in a high risk exposure or to take 2-3 times a week. Suggestion, buy the OTC items from a name brand.

Refer to this excellent summary.

My mother in law is nearing the end of her battle with cancer and was admitted to the hospital two days ago.

They put her in the Covid ward. - because there are only TWO Covid patients on the whole floor.

Two. Why do I keep READING in the news that hospitals are being flooded with Covid patients??

This is JUST like the VIRUS itself. Had it; it was an annoying flu, not a killer like I am constantly being told.

Sick of being lied to and watching others fall for it and belittle and berate us who are skeptical of the whole sham.
