True enough but then you should also point out the staff that has had enough. Especially the staff that has had enough of trying to treat unvaccinated patients and decided to quit for a more rewarding job.

First, we can't go on like this forever? Do you honestly think that this is as difficult as civilization has ever had it? You live in the developed world with access to vaccines and treatment options with the most minor of restrictions. No one guaranteed your way of life was going to be what it was two years ago. Perspective, perspective, perspective. Second, it's early in the omicron navigation but getting less so. It's absolutely going to become the dominant strain and case counts are going to be through the roof. But if it's as mild as literally everything thus far indicates, that could very well be the end game. We have a super transmissible strain with mild severity. It will SUCK over the next several months but that's just the necessary medicine to swallow. Life isn't bad enough as a result of covid for people in this country that the attitude should be so defeatist. |

People have had a year to get vaccinated or not. At this point, there shouldn't be any restrictions on any of this. |

Update: Tomorrow will mark 2 weeks since being admitted to the ICU. It's felt like months, and it's been a rollercoaster. Ventilation is imminent, though they did tell us that last week and he's avoided it so far.
But his chest x-ray is terrifying - just lit up white where things should be dark. He's been moved to BiPap full time, as his stats plummet when he's on Optiflow. SpO2 is staying in the mid 90's with BiPap, but decreases dramatically when removed to eat/drink. Trying to stay positive, as he seems to have bounce back days after we get bad news - but sure seems like things are trending in the wrong direction. |

I've been redacting patient charts to remove personal information for various business operations purposes, and have run into a couple charts where patients in dire need of higher levels of care (unrelated to COVID) could not be transferred due to a lack of beds. It really bummed me out (they died). Those comparing this shit to obesity need a kick in the junk.
