    of course not. i kept saying the protests will result in more cases and spikes. repeatedly in our thread here about the protests, i have been on this about covid not going anywhere

    but im happy to see so many masks. wish the boomers i see at the grocery stores here in the midwest would do that

    How bout those massive protests in union county oregon. Where 1/4 of the population got the virus.

    Most protestors I’ve seen are wearing masks. Pretty much all of them.

    And I’m not pro protestor or anti protestor. I don’t really have a strong opinion on them either way.

    No, not at all. I'm just explaining that this is a much more complex situation than just running out or adding additional beds.

    It's similar to if there were suddenly a huge increase in house fires in Portland so the mayor says we've added a bunch more fire trucks to fight the fires without also adding more firefighters for those trucks. Do they remove firefighters from other trucks leaving all the trucks under staffed?

    More ICU beds are great! Not denying that. But ICU stands for Intensive Care, not Intensive Bed. People are being placed in ICU beds because they need additional intensive care. The bed isn't what heals these patients, it the staff that comes with these beds that does.

    Sorry, but if hospitals are having to turn away other patients in order convert beds to take on even more covid patients instead, they are not "in good shape".

    ...you're in denial...wake the fuck up.

    My test was negative.

    I apparently have a cold. Weird, since I rarely catch colds, have been around others far less than usual, and wear a mask.

    Lucia doesn't have to look for a new human.

    Not trying to be a Debbie downer or a negative Nancy but I have heard a lot of the tests are inaccurate and that's the problem. It's always best to get a 2nd test just just to make sure.
