I had to cancel three trips last year because of covid. I'm supposed to meet my cousin in Philly in September. If we end up having to cancel that one, I'll be sooooo pissed (again). (we're both vaccinated but she has heart issues.)

I am so happy we had our trip out West when we did. We managed it between two heat domes, the monsoons stared not long after we left almost everywhere we were, and Delta was just starting to rise out there. I held my breath for the first few weeks after we returned as Grand Junction CO was already a Delta hot spot, although we didn't know that until we got to the train station.

And I remember well the cancelled trips from last year. I had four of them.

Yeah, it's all heartbreaking that we cannot get back to the things that give us joy.

HHS reports some Jacksonville hospitals out of ICU beds
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jacksonville’s local hospitals are bursting at the seams as COVID-19 cases surge. A UF Health spokesperson says its campuses were treating 186 COVID-19 patients as of Thursday.

“That means you have patients lying in stretchers that should be admitted into a hospital bed, but there is nowhere to put them,” UF Health Assistant Chief Medical Officer Dr. Chirag Patel said.

Patel says UF Health’s North campus is already above capacity at 130 percent, and the downtown location is 95 percent full.

Data as of Monday from Health and Human Services show how overwhelmed hospitals are. The data show Ascention St. Vincent’s on the Southside is actually in the negative for ICU beds available to patients. And Orange Park Medical Center reportedly has a zero percent availability for ICU beds.

Mississippi ICUs have only 10% of beds available as COVID-19 delta variant surges, none at UMMC
As the delta variant ravages the state, patients are waiting in hallways at Mississippi’s largest hospital as staff scramble to care for the influx of COVID-19 cases requiring hospitalization.

All 92 beds in the University of Mississippi Medical Center’s intensive care unit, the state’s largest, are full. The hospital's emergency department is overwhelmed and doctors and nurses are working around the clock to get sick patients into hospital rooms.

“There just aren’t enough nurses, physicians and hospital beds to treat the cases this wave is causing,” said Jonathan Wilson, UMMC’s chief administrative officer.

UMMC is not the only hospital experiencing a strain. As of Friday in the Jackson metro area, where COVID-19 cases are rising fastest, there were only three ICU beds available collectively at all area hospitals, according to state health department data. Only 78 of 826 ICU beds statewide were available, or less than 10%, according to state health department data.

Hawaii's 3-day average is more than 300 new cases each and every day. The record of new infections was reported on 8/13/20 with 355 cases. We'll have a new record very soon.

3 more deaths.

Children are 25% of the cases.

I believe it's even worse than that now. They implemented the 'covid protocol' a couple of days ago and use something called MedCom to track the beds statewide. My understanding is they send (or keep) patients in the ER and count that towards "beds" even if they don't have an actual bed to put them in. The ICU beds at the Children's Hospital are full.

I'm terrified of what will happen when school starts back up. Here in Floriduh, DeathSantis has signed a bill, or will sign it, that will defund any school district that mandates masks.

I get that he's an asshole, but how can he not realize what letting children become ill, hospitalized and even die, will do to his reelection?

He's rolling with the Trump playbook. He's not aiming at reelection -- he's wants the (R) Presidential nomination.

I'm starting to read of push back on Abbott by....parents and teachers! No mask mandates in schools, no distance learning, children too young for vaccines. I'm sure Greggy will be in good shape during re-election with the blood of babies on his hands. Deplorable!

This is not good. FL is now in uncharted territory with 21.7K new cases reported today (the largest single day number of new cases). 108 new deaths. This wave is now larger than all previous waves. 10,187 hospitalized (83% of its all-time pandemic high). Time to change gears:
9:19 PM · Jul 31, 2021
on approx 22 million residents.

Thailand, the country I follow losely, has since April (Buddhist New Year) after everyone was travelling crosscountry a surging number of infections, especially over the last two weeks. Currently at about 17'000 new cases daily (increasing about 1000 each day) for approx 70 million residents.

Comparing these numbers to Florida seems to me that FL is lacking something on the prevention side.

Thailand has largely restricted movement between the provinces and the hospitality industry is in a near lockdown situation (the word lockdown is banned from the local media) with severly restricted opening times for restaurants and street food vendors.

FL hospitals are already full, especially up north. Two weeks from now they'll be overflowing and by Labor Day the death rates will look like last year. Our local children's hospital is starting to fill up with covid patients, something that wasn't a big problem during the first three spikes.

The cement-headed dipshit still thinks he's smarter than the experts that correctly predicted just what was going to happen in Florida due to his know-nothing policies. And he's selling it to the willing credulous.
