Do Vaccines Really Work? New York Now Leads the Nation in Covid

[BrometheusBob.]

On another note, outside of the touristy hotspots in NYC.. people don't really follow the COVID protocols. On the train and anywhere else where it's absolutely required are the only places you'll see people religiously wearing masks.

Where I live in Brooklyn no one pesters you if you're not wearing a mask and I haven't been asked to present a vaccine card except the one time I went out to a friend's dance studio.

And even then no COVID until I went to Florida where that **** is clearly being downplayed.

Crazy how Florida still has the lowest numbers and they have the oldest population.

Good to see people aren't giving you chit.

I'm watching the news now.

"we have never seen this kind of surge before " stop it

Since the last one…

vaccines are brilliant when they are used against certain infections that dont mutate all the time and that are actually really dangerous for most people. they arent much good against something like covid which changes all the time and most people dont know theyve even had it. flu is the same, the vaccines are ****e and so are the covid ones, altho from my knowledge at least the flu ones were properly tested and werent killing people

To be clear, new flu vaccines come out every year. And if we gave a fancy greek name to each new strain of the flu, we'd also lose track of them as we basically already are with covid.

We'd probably have lost interest in talking about COVID by now if it didn't spread so much more easily than the flu. It's annoying but hospitals cramming in their ICUs with COVID patients on ventilators is more taxing on our health system than the flu.

Do you really think they're full? There's staff showing empty hospitals and empty floors. The way they determine how full a ICU is, is to match with staff. Now we know that nurses and docs have quit so that reduces the numbers of staff. I posted a link to a hospital that closed in your state because of lack of staff.

I've also seen videos of our local hospitals empty or very close to empty.

I got it twice, live in queens, traveled to Florida many times but never got it. You probably got it on the plane bro, airplanes are disgusting.

IDK what to make of these numbers anyhow.

I took an at-home rapid test after leaving Florida and I've been isolating since. Who is documenting that.

The states that do the most testing are probably the ones with the highest numbers.

I've heard enough from distressed health workers to believe that hospitals have been at or past capacity at times since this has started. At the peak, the Javits Center in NYC was turned into a makeshift hospital.

Yeah it would be funny if I was out swimming and dancing and **** then got it from some random bodega worker or something Can't be 100% sure but that feels mighty convenient.

On the beach you are good, can't really spread it outside, but luckily for you it was mild and only lasted 2 days, mine was nothing too, honestly almost everyone I know who gets cold said the flu was much worse. It's impossible to even down play it because there's nothing to play down, it's just a cold, no big deal if everyone gets it. Death is a big deal don't get me wrong but so few die from it now plus what the media refuses to tell you is we have great stuff to prevent covid from getting to that point now, much better than at the beginning of the pandemic, monoclonal antibodies, ivermectin, z pack, hydroxyclorine, all sorts of stuff.

We had a few of those makeshift hospitals. They never opened them and they're now gone.
A locals video made the news because they tried to say they were full. Shortly after they were gone.

As far as testing goes every place in America has those tests. We just bought one from Walgreens when our daughter had a cold. School was trying to say she had to stay home for 10 days. So we ended up talking a test in from of them. Took 15 min. And they let her stay in school.
