'Encouraging? (Eugenics) News From CDC: Most COVID Deaths Are "People Who Were Unwell To Begin With"

[herding cats]

45. I didn't list them, the CDC did and with their own qualifiers.

Read my post and the link. I never said they were all equal. I said it's not just obese people and type 2 diabetics who are at high risk. The people I know (antidotal I know, my apologies) who died were neither.

High risk are transplant patients, type 1 diabetic and HIV positive people, etc. we're lying to ourselves when we convince ourselves it's people unlike those we know and love. That's the point I was here to make. People most of us know and love need us to be responsible adults and not kill them because we're tired of all of this mess and stress we've all been dealing with for the past 2 years.

I can't believe it's into our 3rd year of this and we're still having conversations such as this. Dying at risk people are bad. No qualifiers, it's a bad thing from a healthcare standing. The strain they put on the healthcare system each new wave is untenable.

Yes, all our lives are altered and that sucks. Yes, children need to be in school, which means the grownups need to be extra responsible so they can do so safely and not sicken the teachers and other staff. Our healthcare workers, especially our ED workers are overwhelmed again, they're exhausted, burned out and leaving the field at record rates. Oh, and our other emergency service workers, they're sick with Covid at rates to impact services now (again), too. But, we're talking tribal sides and supporting less than proactive guidance because of the mean people out there, who none of us like or agree with, are making all of this so much harder for all of us. Why? I just cannot understand this.

The people working on the front lines of this pandemic deserve more from us. We shouldn't accept sacrificing disease prevention just because it's hard. It's literally the CDC's job to say the raw and uncomfortable things about preventing disease. They're not our local GP. Our GP's job is translating the CDC's guidelines to fit each of us individually. Somehow the CDC is now involved in making the raw data seem acceptable to the each of us? Oh, and the new quarantine guidelines. They're obviously targeted at avoiding unwanted shutdowns, but they'll most likely lead to more illness and loss of feet on the ground of essential workers. Not to mention the added strain on our ED workers. None of this is making sense. Be firm, be honest and let the science speak for itself. Then let other people argue the political angles of it all.

There's no such thing as a "mild" death from Covid. Ask any ED worker. Well, not now. They're once again buried under patients because we cannot seem to learn from our previous mistakes.
