'I get angry': Hospital workers left frustrated by unvaccinated amid surge

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

With the presence of omicron rapidly increasing across the country, federal health officials are warning the surge in coronavirus cases expected in the weeks to come could significantly increase hospital demand.

As more than 7,800 Americans are admitted into hospitals with the virus each day, from Michigan to New Hampshire, health care workers are once again finding themselves overwhelmed with the number of patients in need of care -- not only for COVID-19, but for other illnesses and winter-related ailments.

"We are burnt out, we are tired and we are disheartened. So much of what we see on a daily basis is preventable," Sarah Rauner, chief nurse practitioner at Beaumont Health in Troy, Michigan, told ABC News. "We are still living this every day."

In Wisconsin, just 4% of intensive care unit beds are currently available.

1. The latest excuse for not getting vaccinated seems to be . . .

I've seen it on more than a few message boards: Because Omicron is so contagious, you're going to get the virus anyway, so why get the shot?

The response, of course, is that if you do contract Covid 19, being vaccinated means you probably don't die, and the course of your infection is far shorter and less intense. But sadly, that simple response seems to baffle the virus cognoscenti for whom no treatment is too woo or expensive to be preferred to a free vaccination.

2. Another reason to get the vaccine. You do not want your caregivers pissed off at you.

Unless , of course, you are a total idiot.



Never mind.
