1. Interesting - but I'm going to do my own research on Google and Tik Toc

Those educated guys, they have a very narrow point of focus.

[littlemissmartypants]

2. I can tell, from reading your DU journal, that you've already done so much.

[Evolve Dammit]

6. Tik Toc? Seriously? How about Lancet or other professional medical journals. Too "educated?"

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. I take packman's post as satire. . .nt

[Evolve Dammit]

9. not the topic or time to be satirical. What's the point? It fails to be humorous.

[Lucky Luciano]

10. Gallows humor always has a place as does satire to mock the ridiculous.

[Rural_Progressive]

12. Going out on a limb here and guessing

you've never been in a profession or had a personal experience where you have dealt with mass trauma, destruction, or casualties. If you had you'd know that is one of the ways those of us who have dealt with such things maintain our sanity.

Sorry if it upset you, it's a perfectly natural and necessary method for those involved in such things to keep going otherwise you can get just get overwhelmed. It's also completely appropriate for that person to post those feelings on a site like this one.

[babylonsister]

13. And who are you to determine when the time is right?

Also, humor hits people differently.

[packman]

17. Really!

[Evolve Dammit]

18. I thought you were serious. Sorry. Battle fatigue and friends/ family dead.

[packman]

16. Can't believe how anyone could take it otherwise

Really wonder about some of the replies and the posters.

3. Looks like cement lung...

We should be calling COVID "Cement Lung"

No one says "coal workers' pneumoconiosis" - it's Black Lung. When you hear “Black Lung,” you immediately see a diseased dirty lung saturated with coal dust in your mind.

And COVID should be "Cement Lung."

"Cement Lung" communicates a visceral graphic message of what this disease does to your lungs. Makes them inelastic. Freezes them. Fills them full of crap. You are then beyond the reach of medical aid. That can't be fixed.

You want to risk getting Cement Lung? Do you want your elderly parents to get it? Do you want your children in the hospital with Cement Lung? Let those visual images float around inside your brain awhile and see if you still like the idea of being unvaccinated or unmasked.

4. Yes

5. That's Exactly What This Is...

COVID fibrosis turns the lungs into cement. IF you survive the pneumonia, ventilator, etc, the scarring on the lungs basically turns your lungs into pieces of cement that are useless for moving oxygen from the air into your blood. Lung transplants are the only thing that will do, in the long run, for many of these patients. There were stories for COVID patients who required lung transplants in order to survive long-term, back during the first wave.

It was one thing, when this was in the first and second wave and we didn't have the vaccines for people to have an excuse. Those folks who needed lung transplants then as a result of COVID were merely victims. But at this point, if you have refused the vaccine - without a valid medical reason - you have no excuse and that should automatically disqualify you from the transplant list, IMO: It's like being on the liver transplant list while still drinking alcohol. I'm out of empathy and sympathy for the deniers and antivaxxers.

[babylonsister]

14. "IF".

I've read so many accounts of what goes on in a covid ward; there was a great example on DU recently where the nurse took us step-by-step through what happens once you're admitted and through death.

The facts are out there; it's so ignorant there are so many people out there who refuse a vax because...why?
Someone told them it's a bad idea?

[GB_RN]

15. Yup...

They believe what they want to believe, because it's easier than facing the fact that they've been lied to. There's a t-shirt I have that says "No, you're right. Let's do it the dumbest way possible because it's easier for you."
That about sums up our approach to this pandemic. (The link is just so you can see it. I'm not selling anything)

These are numbers I've posted in a few other threads today, but I figure that it's just as worthwhile to put them here, too:

Duke University Hospital has 957 beds. As of this morning, Duke had 305 COVID patients. Of those 305, 208 are unvaxxed. Out of those 305, 59 are in the ICU. Of those 59, 47 are unvaxxed. Of those 59, 35 are on a ventilator. Of those 35, 30 are unvaxxed. 3 ICU patients are on ECMO (Extracorporeal Membranous Oxygenation - basically, an artificial lung. COVID patients who are on ECMO are almost guaranteed dead; you're just prolonging the inevitable*). Those 3 are unvaxxed. 305/957 = 32% of the hospital's bed capacity is being utilized by COVID patients. 208/305 = 68% of those patients are unvaxxed. 80% of ICU patients are unvaxxed. 86% of the ventilator patients are unvaxxed.

That's just at Duke. In terms of major hospitals, we also have UNC and Wake Med right here in the Triangle (plus several smaller hospitals). I don't know what the numbers are at those, or at the other major/minor hospitals in the state. But the total COVID hospitalizations in the state are rapidly increasing (more than quadrupled since 12/1/21), and if the pattern holds, at least 2/3s of them are unvaxxed. The unvaxxed, ventilated patients in the ICUs? The chances for them probably aren't great.

“For me personally, it hit me differently,”...ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith explained...“I had pneumonia in both lungs. My liver was bad, and it ravaged me to the point where even now I have to monitor my volume and get to the gym every day... I'm still not 100% with my lungs, but I'm Covid negative...

"[Doctors] told me, had I not been vaccinated, I wouldn’t be here. That’s how bad I was..."

Never mind being vaccinated -- Smith is age 54. If he were only ten years older, this story may have had much different ending.

21. From What I Can Tell...

It sounds like it messed up his heart and/or his kidneys*, if he's having to "monitor [his] volume". Fluid volume overload is a real threat when the kidneys don't work or the heart can't pump efficiently or both. If the left side of the heart doesn't pump well, fluid backs in the lungs, and puts pressure on the right side of the heart as it tries to pump against that fluid build up, eventually causing the right side to fail. If the right side doesn't pump well, fluid backs up below it (in the liver, abdomen, knees, feet, etc). It puts pressure on the kidneys and the left side of the heart, eventually causing it to fail (still simple version).

If the kidneys don't - or can't - remove fluid efficiently, it backs up in the whole circulatory system...and causes a massive cascade effect, too.

*COVID has been documented from the start to be capable of causing heart and kidney damage. That's in addition to the documented clotting disorders (increased incidents of strokes in COVID patients), neurological damage and other long-term effects. COVID is a beast of a disease, and just because you get over the acute illness phase doesn't mean COVID is done with you.

22. Apologies for not including the link

FYI, Smith is the John Cleese of sportscasters -- his "gimmick" is his tendency to become increasingly (and unnecessarily) demonstrative and loud when discussing even non-controversial issues.

If he now has to "monitor" his volume, it suggests that he is not yet breathing normally.

7. A recently revealed electron microscope image showed millions of engorged cells

in the shape of MAGA hats.

11. I didn't allow the hysteria to distract me from getting my other vaccines on schedule

including one for pneumonia shortly after Covid hit -- which is beginning to look more and more like my ace in the hole...

19. Same here. I got both my flu and pneumonia shots as well as the vaccine and booster.
