  1. Yup. I was floored by one of the people that brought up the ivermectin. The other 0ne not so much.
  2. I got that one today from 2 different people. After reading enough responses, I blocked them. Fucking Facebook. Unfortunately it’s the only way I can communicate with a few family members so I can’t delete it again.
  3. 5 restaurants in Port A closed now. Won’t name anyone but if they tell you it’s a water leak, or staffing or something they are lying.
  4. I mean it worked for dwi’s so let’s get graphic. Put it out there with public service ads that say *THIS* is what might happen to you if you refuse the vaccine. Show what they do when they intubate. It ain’t pretty. instead we argue over Fauci and the cdc and Trump. But I’m the bad guy here.
  5. Actually I do and I’ve said it before. While everyone whines about this and that, maybe we can do something constructive. Let’s put trauma babe and her partners with a film crew in every tv area and have them film an intubation and then interview the family. Local news. I’m all for scare tactics right now. Or we can continue to argue about Trump.
  6. Ok, whatever. I’m outta here. Sure y’all will miss me.
  7. I am not going out of my way to ignore it and the other 364 days of the year are quite enough to dissect the gross incompetence of Trump and our government. I’m saying our messaging is not working. I only quoted 1 paragraph but there’s more….. “Vaccine hesitancy is a global problem. Surveys in 2021 report that between 50% and 60% of all respondents worldwide would be willing to receive a covid-19 vaccine, with wide variations across countries.1213 In the UK, surveys have found variation in willingness to have a vaccine between ethnic groups. The UK Household Longitudinal survey asked 12 035 participants (in November 2020) “how likely or unlikely would you be to take the vaccine?” Overall only 18% of respondents were hesitant (answering unlikely or very unlikely), in contrast with high levels of hesitancy in people of Black ethnicity (72%) followed by South Asians of Pakistani and Bangladeshi heritage (both 42%), and mixed ethnicities (32%), though levels of vaccine hesitancy were comparable with White people in respondents of Chinese ethnicity.14 UK data (as of 11 March 2021) show lower vaccination rates (among those eligible for vaccination) in Black African and Black Caribbean (58.8% and 68.7%, respectively), Bangladeshi (72.7%), and Pakistani (74%) ethnic groups compared with White British (91.3%), and lower vaccination rates in people who live in more deprived areas (most deprived 87%, least deprived 92.1%).15” https://www.bmj.com/content/373/bmj.n1138
  8. Well I clarified that in the post after it but maybe you didn’t see that. Those numbers don’t look off to you? https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/23/delta-variant-pfizer-covid-vaccine-39percent-effective-in-israel-prevents-severe-illness.html and that’s why it would be really concerning. We will know in a month or so.
  9. Also greater than 10% of cases going to hospital and 4/217 deaths isn’t good, but I think the 217 number is waaaaaay low.
  10. For sure. But Delta just got here. They have one entire confirmed case. Anyway I’m not arguing with you at all, we agree. I just took offense to mchammer trying to say that I was referencing border/immigration policy, which I clearly wasn’t. I’m hardheaded, but I’m the only one that has avoided discussing politics at all in this conversation, which was pretty much my original point. Peace.
  11. It’s the Texas Covid thread . Data is incomplete from Friday and in the accompanying YouTube presentation they said 95% of hospitalizations were unvaxxed which is GREAT news considering roughly 60% of the adult population is vaxxed. Vaccine Breakthrough Cases in Nueces County (217 cases) • # hospitalized – 25 • #deaths–4 Vaccine Status: Moderna 78 Pfizer 57 J&J 30 Unknown 01 Time Infected: 25 to 54 days after last vaccine link - https://www.cctexas.com/detail/covid-19-update
  12. Yeah I know and it’s frustrating as fuck. My hope I guess is that if it wasn’t so political a bunch more of the idiots would come around and take the shot. I mean one entire side of my family is enormously Republican and they’ve all been vaccinated. Let’s change the message to only stupid people don’t take the shot. Cut them off from healthcare. Whatever. I’m so done with this crap and it’s starting to feel like we are falling right back in to spring of 2020.
  13. Y’all really don’t like it when someone comes in here and wants to discuss an issue but not make it about politics.
  14. Actually, we don’t know that for sure yet. I’m not going to derail this thread any further, but I posted real time real world numbers on the Texas thread. I DO NOT think they are correct, but as of now it doesn’t look good. Meanwhile I’m sitting here in Port A and four restaurants have shut down in the last 3 days due to Covid. These mostly aren’t unvaccinated people. Now, I think we can all agree that the end goal here is to cut the deaths down to an acceptable level so if the vaccines are working, great. I was mostly responding to his attempt to throw me under the bus on the border issue, which I wasn’t doing. But you know that.
  15. Nah all good. My point that flew over his head is we can have 100% of our population vaccinated, but a mutation can happen elsewhere in the world and we are right back here like we are with Delta. I don’t give a shit about y’alls argument over the border and immigration. Hook ‘em.
  16. Link from a few days ago if anyone is interested but I’m pretty sure I pulled the only meaningful data. Hopefully they will start updating regularly again. The last one was 2 months ago. They used to do it twice a week. Everyone got caught with their pants down on this. https://www.cctexas.com/detail/covid-19-update
  17. No, I told him why he was negging me but I was polite and phrased it as a question. So I’ll do you the same courtesy, is it an immigration/border policy issue if the virus is mutating in other parts of the world and we allow international air travel?
  18. Either my sarcasm meter is broken or you are a fucking idoit for that takeaway from my posts. Congrats.
  19. Meant to add that I watched the YouTube video that accompanied the numbers in my previous post and the Nueces county official stated that over 95% of our hospitalizations were unvaxxed. @GreenspointTexas @Bevo since we are around 60% vaxxed for our total population that’s really, really good obviously.
  20. I’m spitballing here, but I think that case number is WAY low so it’s probably not nearly as bad as it looks. A ton of people have it and either aren’t getting tested or don’t even realize they have it. We are going to find out that the vaccine efficacy is closer to 60Ish% for Delta in a few weeks. To my untrained eye it’s looking like the vaccine is working really well preventing death and hospitalization.
  21. So I did look this one up. It’s actually @15%.
  22. This is kind of where I was going. Thank you. I think. “Them” is roughly 35% of our population. 70ish% of those are Republicans. 100% are idiots. Forgive me for not looking up the real numbers. Regardless the other real problem we have is the rest of the world which I think is a little less than 10% vaccinated. I haven’t heard any talk of shutting our borders down, so here we are. Y’all scream at political parties all you like.
