@rucaradio@tweetcendrum@TechConnectify Ignoring the fear-mongers also allows us that same freedom during a pandemic. I swear, people who still watch TV unironically need their heads read.
@tweetcendrum@rucaradio@TechConnectify I don’t believe that many people died of it. They would have died with it, but most of them were probably at that age where a bad flu season would have finished them anyway. One virus or another. Meh. Statistics are a wonderful thing when it comes to fear-mongering agendas.
@sydney_ev @DrSallyL We can’t stay locked up. The vaccine has limited effectiveness. The system is as good as it will be. It’s time. Besides, a bed can be in an overflow tent. Basically palliative care. Lots of the good meds. Lots of (potentially unvaxxed) overflow staff. The strong will survive.
@sydney_ev @DrSallyL Good. Then hire more staff, stop firing the vaccine-hesitant, empty the ambulances sooner & start triaging. I’m relatively relaxed about (short-term) limiting intensive care to vaccinated (or contraindicated) under 60-ish so intensive care beds are still available for general use
@sydney_ev Intentionally killing everyone slowly through perpetual CCP-style tyranny isn’t automatically morally superior than <1% of the population (mostly elderly) dying because the CCP released their bioweapon on us. We must never emulate the enemy.
@sydney_ev @DrSallyL Business continuity planning is a thing. Has been for ages. And we’ve had 18 months to get ready. Rip that band aid off already! Besides, there’s always featherbedding to reallocate.
@sydney_ev Has it though? Being unvaccinated doesn’t mean that you’re automatically sick, and being sick doesn’t mean you’re automatically in a hospital.
@sydney_ev @DrSallyL Hospitals have had 18 months to plan for this mess. We only grudgingly consented to two weeks to slow the spread, remember. Anyway, if they can’t triage those they can save away from those they can’t, that’s on them.
@not__vee On the plus side, being involved in Babylon 5 is the kiss of death. Most of the actors are dead, including the ones who played Sinclair, Delenn, G’Kar, Garibaldi, Zack, Vir, Dr. Franklin, Zathras and plenty more. Ditto many of the writers & producers. https://t.co/XgVIEqZJP2
