They need to let it go with the mandates. There are people on ventilators, severely sicken or dying in their bed, infected for the 2nd time from Covid and still stating they will not get vaccinated... No mandate can fix that stupidity and ignorance. It's slowly getting crazy, more than 1/2 of the new Covid Hospitalizations over the past month have been in midwestern states...most patients are not vaccinated. Hopefully, the stupidity and ignorance stays south of the border...U.S. / Canada border. It is what it is. wrbtrader
The mandates are going to be even less popular when it emerges we are going to have to get boosters every six months for life, plus the occasional new variant proofing vaccine.
Mandates are not needed except for your military and federal employees. Everybody else, let them tank the country and keep the smiles on their faces while they blame Biden for not getting Covid under control. I saw those patients on ventilators, some in their death bed, some for the 2nd time of a Covid infection...I thought I would never see this again from states in the midwest. Didn't we learn anything from last year ??? Patients on ventilators...still vowing to not get vaccinated. In fact, one hospital in Michigan states they no longer have ICU beds...on a bad day...patients on the floor. Hospitals are now telling patients after they've been admitted...they need to go home and come back in two days when a bed is available...What the Fuck !!! Now our military medical personnel now being used in some of Michigan hospitals. Go Wolverines wrbtrader
And there’s the rub. ICU capacity is determined by the staff required to manage beds. Example an ICU can have 50 beds, if they only have staff to effectively manage 25 then 25 is max capacity. How are partially vaxxed and prior covid recovery/natural immunity counted? As unvaccinated?
Michigan's public health agency has a website and contact info. You can contact them for more information if it's that important to you. I do know from google searches...Michigan is one of those states that individual hospitals post their numbers while the Public Health Agency for the entire state seems to post numbers every quarter (maybe). Note: I'm picking on Michigan for the Covid stupidity and ignorance. It's really not a state I will make any effort to contact their Public Health Agency for the data I'm more interested in seeing. In contrast, I've been very clear about the 3 states I have a strong interest...Illinois, Kentucky, and South Dakota. Sadly, 2021 is not over...maybe we'll exceed the 800,000 Covid Deaths ??? I think we're sitting around 793k Covid Deaths (most not vaccinated) with about 1,851 Covid Deaths today. https://www.google.com/search?q=United+States+Covid+Deaths wrbtrader
