Sweet Marley Jane had covid the same time my daughter and her husband did, although it took her several days to show any symptoms, and even then, the symptoms were no more than a fussy 6 month old, and her body covered in red spots. No fever or rash or anything else, just the petechiae all over her body. It started on her face and very quickly moved to her back, stomach and legs.

There's a lot of things that need to change. One specifically? Police brutality.

Re: Coronavirus on a Personal Basis
I guess because capitalism and governments unable to impose it but I have always wondered why they don’t have hospitals for COVID patients and hospitals for the rest of us. Of course that would not be workable in rural areas but in cities like Houston there is a hospital every few miles.
Especially now where you can vastly reduce your need to be hospitalized for COVID by GETTING VACCINATED!!

You practically trip over them here, too. I've wondered about that myself.

Excellent!

Re: Coronavirus on a Personal Basis
There is one state that is trying to keep some ICU beds available for non-covid cases. I can't remember which state it is.filly wrote: ↑Sun Jan 16, 2022 1:44 pm I guess because capitalism and governments unable to impose it but I have always wondered why they don’t have hospitals for COVID patients and hospitals for the rest of us.

Unfortunately, more that 50% of cases in Florida, entered the hospital for non-covid health issues ... and then tested positive upon admission. In NY, 43% of non-covid admissions are covid positive. In some hospitals in TX, 30-40% of non-covid admissions test positive for covid immediately after admission.
This makes it impossible to keep covid free admissions a priority in specific units or hospitals.
As the super contagious omicron variant of the coronavirus spreads, hospitals are seeing a growing trend:
Patients admitted for other ailments are also testing positive for Covid-19. Doctors say it may mean more people have asymptomatic or undiagnosed disease than the current data show.
Across NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital’s 10 campuses, just less than half of patients are admitted with Covid, meaning they were hospitalized for a non-Covid related issue but were also tested and found to be carrying the virus. Statewide the figure is 43 percent, according to state data.
Hospitals across the country are also seeing a greater proportion of these so-called incidental Covid cases amid the omicron surge.
In Austin, Texas, some local hospitals report that 30 percent to 40 percent of the patients admitted for other reasons are also Covid positive, Dr. Desmar Walkes, medical director/health authority for the city of Austin and Travis County, said a news call Thursday.

Re: Coronavirus on a Personal Basis
My brother and sister-in-law live an hour from me. Their three older daughters live and work in the Cities. Their youngest is attending college in the Cities. I love all of them and see them fairly regularly. My brother, being a psychiatrist working for a large hospital system is vaccinated. I'm not positive about boosted. Anyway, I just got a text from my sister-in-law that her two younger daughters tested positive for Covid last week. My SIL drove up to her mom's place yesterday (about 200 miles) after her mom tested positive for Covid. Fortunately her mom - who I'm pretty sure is vaxxed and boosted - is doing fine. So my SIL talked to my brother this morning and my brother is now achy and tested positive for Covid. So my SIL - who is unvaxxed and had Covid a year ago - is now driving home. Sigh.
We'll see how it goes, but right now I'm planning on having supper with the two older daughters on Thursday.
