Add to all of the above re 1918 vs now is the fact we now have actual scientifically proven treatments. Pictures of full influenza wards from a century ago were essentially hospice care. Whereas today we know as hospitals approach capacity the fatality rate doubles and in the absence of care the fatality rate multiplies.

This past week, the entire state of Idaho has moved to crisis standards of care, in which resources are stretched so thin that patients may be treated based on who has the best chances of survival. Still, that news, which seems alarming enough to me, isn’t necessarily getting through. I’ve noticed that hospitals increasingly are inviting reporters directly into the ICU wards, in a maddening bid to try to convince the public, after all these months, that the pandemic even exists.
But it turns out this denial behavior is not only normal, it was totally foreseeable, according to Steven Taylor, a psychologist at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, B.C.
Taylor would know because he predicted it. He wrote a remarkable little book back in 2019 called “The Psychology of Pandemics.” Its premise is that pandemics are “not simply events in which some harmful microbe ‘goes viral,’” but rather are mass psychological phenomena about the behaviors, attitudes and emotions of people.
The book came out pre-COVID and yet predicts every trend and trope we’ve been living for 19 months now: the hoarding of supplies like toilet paper at the start; the rapid spread of “unfounded rumors and fake news”; the backlash against masks and vaccines; the rise and acceptance of conspiracy theories; and the division of society into people who “dutifully conform to the advice of health authorities” — sometimes compulsively so — and those who “engage in seemingly self-defeating behaviors such as refusing to get vaccinated.”

Hey. I've been pro-socialized healthcare* for many years now. Our current methods are beyond effed. It all needs to be nuked from orbit. You'll get no argument from me there. The nuance of that conversation are for another thread, though.

this is from last nights NBC nightly news. at 1:25 Dave Gutierrez shows a clip of a guy he interviewed in the ICU a couple weeks ago about not getting vaxxed (patient said he would not wish Covid on anyone). Shortly after the interview he was put on a vent. This last weekend he died leaving behind a young son.
This story should be played over and over again but yanno... crisis actors and the jab kills you so.......

I've had a few friends move to northern Idaho because they can't stand all the restrictions that Gov. Brown has put in place in Oregon. It's a weird reaction...the idea that putting on a mask, SD'ing, and getting vaccinated is so difficult that they felt the need to upend their lives and move away. Seemingly the idea these folks share is that they would rather keep the pandemic going than move on from it out of fear of the other political team getting a win.
Damn shame, throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that

Vaccine mandates and rationed care are a big part of socialized healthcare if we want it to succeed.

Good short read from Eric Boelehrt: “the brainwashing of the COVID zombies”.

Can I just say how pissed off I am at my anti-vaxxer friend for spreading misinformation about the vax with her "4 family members have died from the jab!" BS? I've started to see posts about the vax killing people show up in the comment sections of local health and government posts on FB. I know she's contributing to it indirectly though not posting herself. She is vocal and has a big audience locally. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
4 people in her large extended family may have indeed died since the roll out of the vax but I have serious doubts that there is a direct correlation to them being vaxxed. If she thinks just because they got the jab then a death occured sometime later equals the vax killed them then why couldn't it have just as easily been a hamburger they ate the week before or may it was their last bowel movement.

There's been an interesting spike in dubious social media claims lately. A lot more: "I got it and now have XYZ" or the uncollaborated "my wife's cousin's friend's sister in-law's coworker got it and died". Russian trolls, liars, mentally ill and bad-faith amplifiers. I seem to remember, many months back, Montucky claimed that several friends had severe reactions including (IIRC) bells palsy. Haven't heard about that since. Hmmmmm.

The hot girl on fb keeps telling me to look at VAERS, 25k dead including 28 children. I tried to point out that even if that was true 28k is still very small compared to total vaxxes given but she insists this is a huge coverup.
