    You´re blind, even to news from mainstream media. First link that shows up on google, there are more. Putting you on ignore after that post btw, there´s no argument from you, just false claims and reducing issues to ridiculous points.

    translation :

    "Covid multiplies by 4 visits in psychiatric emergencies among kids and teenagers"

  3. Well, I “Panicked” over Ebola a few years back by buying n95 masks, goggles, gloves, and bleach.

  5. Bit of a rambling post. The misses got you drunk?

    I’m sure you delight every time I get my Dunning-Kruger comeuppance! However, it just makes me more motivated to do more with my life. Maybe something wonderful. Something substantial.

    am not vaccinated, haven't ever been and life has been back to normal since June of 2020.

    But then again, I live in the free state of Florida.

    Poll: 68 percent of parents say they have or will vaccinate their kids, a 12-point rise in 2 weeks

    "Vaccine hesitancy in the U.S. is showing signs of crumbling," Axios reported Tuesday, citing a new Axios/Ipsos Coronavirus Index survey. The poll, released Tuesday, found that 20 percent of American adults say they are unlikely to get vaccinated, down from 34 percent in March and 23 percent two weeks ago, and that includes a new record-low 14 percent who say they are "not at all likely" to get inoculated. Seventy-two percent of adults said they have already gotten vaccinated.

    "The findings mirror those of other recent polls" showing "a decline in vaccine hesitancy, though not a huge one," Aaron Blake writes at The Washington Post. "Perhaps the more interesting finding in the Axios/Ipsos poll involves a big emerging issue in the vaccination campaign: vaccinating children. Polls have regularly shown parents are less sold on vaccinating their children than they are on vaccinating themselves, but the new poll shows a sharp decline in skepticism on vaccinating kids."

    In the survey, 68 percent of parents said they have either already vaccinated their children or are likely to do so as soon their kids are eligible for the shot. "That's the highest share ever in our survey, and a 12-point spike from 56 percent just two weeks ago," Axios notes. Only 31 percent of parents said they are unwilling to vaccinated their kids.

    An Army veteran who served two tours in Afghanistan died in Texas from a treatable illness all because no ICU beds were available.

    Daniel Wilkinson, 46, fell ill on Aug. 21, his mother, Michelle Puget, told Fox News. The next day, the family took him to an emergency room near their Bellville home, where he was diagnosed with gallstone pancreatitis.
    Puget said the doctors told her they knew how to treat him and that all was needed was to get him to an ICU bed.
    Unfortunately, the Bellville hospital was not equipped with the necessary equipment or personnel needed for the operation Wilkinson needed. Because of the surge of the delta variant of COVID-19, hospitals have been overwhelmed with patients and there were no ICU beds available for Wilkinson.
    The doctors and nurses, Puget said, "called all the hospitals in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas and Colorado and couldn’t get him a bed."
    "Every minute that he was refused an ICU bed he was dying. The doctors said that his organs were already starting to shut down," Puget said.
    By Sunday, her son had died.
    "It’s still unreal. And I know he’s not the only person in that type of situation," Puget said. "And that’s one reason why I’ve been willing to tell this story and put it out there because it could be anybody’s mother, sister, or daughter. They need the help, and it shouldn’t be put off."
    Puget said her son was diagnosed with PTSD upon returning from Afghanistan, but otherwise had no history of serious health problems.
    "He loved his country. He didn’t mind going over there," Puget said. "He needed to do what he needed to do."
    Puget believes that hospitals need more funding to ensure people like her son don’t suffer the same fate.
