The coronavirus

I really don't understand these repubs, particularly when it comes to covid and fiscal "responsibility." It seems that if they're not going to go along with vaccinations for the public good, they would advocate for vaccinations as government fiscal "responsibility."

Let's take a look at Tennessee, seeing how a certain poster claims residency and appears to be anti-vaxx and riding herd:

Today's WaPo data has 3 per 100K in the hospital being treated for Covid and 1 per 100K in ICU, resulting in 204  and 68 residents in the hospital and in the ICU, respectively. 10.1% of residents lack health insurance, equating to 21 and 7 in the hospital and in the ICU, respectively, without health insurance. Average cost of being treated, based upon age, ranges from $51,000 to $78,000. Using $73,300 for a six day stay, its costing $1,539,300 or the median cost of $45,683, $959,343. This is just for the past 7 day average as of today. Imagine the cost over the past 70 weeks since March 2020? And we know that the cost of ICU care is more than hospitalization.

Now, lets look at Tejas since their/there/they're gubner, Abbott & Costello, has been an outspoken critic of vaccinations and the public good, and since Tejas prides itself on always telling everyone how great they are: they have 8 per 100K and 2 per 100K hospitalized and in ICU respectively. Tejas, leading the nation in those without health insurance, you go Tejas, you're Number One, you're Number One, you're Number One, at 18.4% of the population means that: 426 and 106 are in the hospital and ICU respectively without health insurance, costing between $105,984,560 and $170,056,000.

The total cost of healthcare for Covid in the USA in 2020 is estimated to be $9.6 to $16.9 billion.

Seems repubs think of fiscal "responsiblity" a lot like how they think of "responsible" gun owners, fiscally "responsible" until they aren't. Or maybe we're finally getting POOTWH and the repubs' new healthcare plan that's bigger, better and less expensive than Obama's ACA, its called "get sick and die." Freedumb. Woot.

PS: Flo Rida's and Deathsantis' numbers are worse at 14 and 3 per 100K for hospitalization and ICU care, with 13.2% of their population uninsured.

BTW, for those wondering, I am fully vaccinated now.  I would show you my card but I only posted it to my Facebook.  Took one shot of Pfizer and one Moderna.  Ready for the Pfizer booster in 4-6 months and may get the J&J in a few weeks for extra protection!

Aren't you the clever little shrew. 

A special thanks to you russell!  Your medical knowledge helped open my eyes.  I don't even know why I was trusting what the inventor of mRNA vaccines, who expressed hesitancy himself, to begin with.  So stupid of me.  I promise to seek out every unvaccinated man, woman, and child and spread the word!

I don't claim to have any special knowledge on mRNA.  I'm not in the medical field.  What I do have is a heavy background in analytics and my criticism to your posts have been the garbage graphs and "data" that you have shared from twitter, which are full of holes.  And yet time after time, you cannot defend the crap so you just move onto something else.  

Oh, no doubt.  You really showed me the light and opened my eyes.  Like I said, I am fully vaccinated now and a lot of it is your analysis.  So many thanks!

Can you all believe I was at my daughters softball tournament this weekend around hundreds of people, most of which I know are unvaccinated, no masks, no distancing, it was just gross.  I cannot even believe that I used to be like that.  I am so embarrassed.  I know those nasty savages voted for Trump too.  Ughh, those selfish assholes.

You're the one posting dumb ass shit, not me.    You can do whatever the fuck you want.  No one gives a shit about the decision you made for yourself and your family.   And as we pointed out, no one ever cared.  The reason people spent time calling out your lies and bullshit is for the people that lurk on her and don't post.  We were challenging your misinformation for their benefit.  So in case you didn't know... no one gives a fuck what you do.  

Geez, that's a lot of profanity.  Relax, I am on your team now!  Team Vaxxed and Ready to Wax!  Is that even a saying?  That was dumb, I admit.  

To help spur a vaccine drive for my area, very redneck-y if you catch my drift, I am going to do several raffles.  Guns, booze, American flags, truck nuts, the works.  I will report back in several weeks and let y'all know how I do.  Just trying to spread the word on the power of the vaccine.  I really didn't even experience any side effects, just couldn't use my right arm for three days, which was really weird.  You know like when you get dental work and they numb your mouth and your lips feel like they are droopy.  That's what my right arm felt like.  The weird part was I got the jab in the left arm.  Oh well, I am rambling now.  

I think the sensation you're feeling in your right arm is just the microchip being activated. You've really got nothing to worry about.

I felt the same and after the third day, I no longer have to control any of my limbs, the government does all the work for me! Spectacular side effect. 

Also, since I'm 'some guy' telling you this, you know it has to be credible!

J&J warning
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/12/us/fda-warning-johnson-johnson-vaccine-nerve-syndrome.html

MIS-INFORMATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  DIS-INFORMATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I reported you to the mods!  It is only 100 or so cases out of 12 million.  This is just to prove that they are SAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Also, weird how Pfizer and Moderna have had no warnings to theirs, or no?  It's almost like someone has it out for J&J.  At least thats what my conspiracy theory cousins tell me.  Their names are Darrell and Darryl.  Rednecks.

Yes, they have warnings on theirs, and I was informed of the risks for each when receiving the vaccine (I got Pfizer for first dose, Moderna for second). In addition, what did Tempo do wrong? He posted a warning issued by the FDA. That's not at all similar to your major propaganda campaign against getting vaccinated.

Maybe go to a local hospital and ask if they have any used masks worn by infected patients so you can eat them and build your immunity even more. Need to be sure. 

I went but they were extremely busy, you know, with the overcrowding and all.  I took a video for you.

Now I'm just angry. This is despicable.

Agreed. Nurses everywhere must be appalled at this expression of joy.

What a sad thread this has become.

Also comical and entertaining, sure…but ultimately pretty pathetic.

ICU nurses are now the enemy.  

Teachers,  cops, nurses,  there is no bottom to the delusions of Trumpists.
