Right now, more than 600 Oklahomans are hospitalized and 200 of them are in the ICU.

Soon, hospitals could run out of beds for pediatric patients.

3. This of course won't happen, but

in a sane society we'd have a) contact tracing to let us know how these kids were infected and b) penalties for parents who refuse to be vaccinated or knowingly expose their children to unvaccinated adults. The only exceptions allowed for such parents would be a documented medical issue precluding their getting the shot.

But of course none of this will happen.

I'm beyond pissed at this point. All of this was avoidable, and I have the sense that the worst is yet to come.
