The “I got tested to travel” people make me laugh. Thanks for doing your part, buddy. You know what would be even better? NOT TRAVELING UNNECESSARILY DURING A PANDEMIC.
So people should just stop their entire life and not travel anyplace? You do realize that some need to do so for work also, not just for pleasure.
The cruise industry will go under if they don't continue sailing and with that you need to test. I guess you are ok with all these people losing their jobs and countries losing tons of money from tourists. Just so they are not part of the few that NEED to test.
I meant the people who act like they are doing the greatest favor to humanity by testing constantly before they leave and acting like they are just dripping with caution. If they were that cautious, they wouldn’t be heading to the Maldives with their friends.
Don't know anyone like that. Must be nice to have such rich friends

People are definitely hoarding tests just like all the shelves are bare again. Can't tell you how many people posted their tests results on fb with their holiday gathering pics.
What we need now is a snowstorm frenzy to help Home Depot unload their entire stock of shovels.
But there are no sheep out there you know.

The vaccine helps to minimize the need for hospitalization and death.
If the hospital beds are full of CoVid patients - a majority of hospitalizations and death are of the unvaccinated - what happens to those in car crashes, strokes, heart attacks when there are no more beds because of what I stated above?
So, while the vaccines have not helped in stopping the transmission - it has been helpful is lowering sickness to avoid death and hospitalization.
This is obviously off topic.. but I don’t know, I went for surgery on Wednesday, one of the biggest well known hospitals in NJ and it wasn’t overwhelmed. My grandfather is in the hospital in FL, no craziness going on in his hospital. I wish people would define the #s when they say overwhelm. And provide facts of these overwhelmed hospitals. When I think overwhelmed, I’m thinking 2020 start of pandemic. I keep hearing this blanket statement of “overwhelmed hosptials”, but don’t see where this is happening.
Now, If we get back on topic, doctor offices and testing sites are overwhelmed because of the hysteria of useless testing.
I believe it's the concern that the trend can overwhelm the hospitals fairly quickly.
ETA: I am social with a few doctors and nurses that are in the ER. They are dreading what they feel is coming. One does Urgent Care work as well and she was sharing how overwhelming things have gotten in the last couple of weeks because of increasing CoVid cases and Flu A cases. Now they test first for CoVid and if that is negative - they test for the flu and it's usually one or the other.
Maybe because they have less staff since they fired them also. The ones that were ok to work unvaccinated and praised but now pushed out.
Northwell, the largest health care provider in NY, fired 1400 out of a staff of appx. 76K...less then 2%.
I think those sick and in need of quarantining provide more of a risk to the capability of the staff then those that left due to the vaccine requirement.
Again, I don't know what hospitals are claiming they are overwhelmed.
I just saw Englewood in NJ say their ED is overwhelmed as people are going there for Covid testing.
My friend who is a nurse is so sick, she couldn’t go to urgent care around us because all of them are so over booked with people getting tested due to exposure. She had to go to Newark and is still waiting 5 days for her PCR results because they are so backed up. She also had to wait hours to get antibiotics. It’s really ridiculous. She is actually sick and can’t get help or the results she needs because of the hysterics.
She also said her doctors said the flu is horrible this year, crazy bad strain. She thinks she has the flu because the rapid was negative but she wants to confirm.
THIS is the reason WE care because it could always be one of us that is in the situation. People need to chill out and stop listening to the hysteria around them.
People are starting to drive alone with masks on again and I saw a man riding his bike past my house this morning with a mask on. I truly want to know, and not being snarky WHY you find the need to wear a mask when you are all alone and not going to be near anyone. I truly think so many people are so misinformed and that is why everyone is in panic mode and hysterical.
I want to know why this bothers you so bad. Why do you care if people have a mask on?? What difference does that make to you? It’s their business not yours. And they are doing nothing that concerns you like making you wait extra time in a line bc you didn’t get vaccinated but now that’s everyone else’s issue bc you have to wait to get tested. I’m honestly perplexed why this bothers you so much that you bring it up in almost every Covid thread. Do you not see that nobody ever attempts to answer that stupid question for you?

I like wearing a mask outside when it's cold. Wearing one while bike riding makes total sense to me. A mask stays on much better than a scarf. And sometimes my car is cold when I first get in and I keep my mask on for a a few minutes. Or I might be going from work to a nearby store and I just keep it on while I drive there. Who cares why anyone else wears a mask.

Probably because they forgot they had it on or they wear it because it helps keep their face warm when outside. It has nothing or very little to do with misinformation or panic of hysteria.

I literally can't breath to the point of anxiety attack so I can't imagine wearing it by choice.
I even got the cheese cloth ones and I am STILL panicking with it on.
My husband is like- what is wrong with you, you can breath right through it. But I feel like I can't.
It's probably psychological. I can't have anything over my nose and mouth. It sends me into a tail spin
It triggers my anxiety.

It doesn't bother me more than just WHY. I understand why you would want to wear them around other people, especially in places that you are in close contact but riding your bike down the street all alone, walking down the street all alone, driving in your car, all alone. Maybe one day I will ask and get my answer.

Yes I can see getting like that after awhile. This is not even when it is cold as I could easily be like, yeah they are trying to keep warm. I watched one woman walk by all summer long with her mask on, not a single soul near her.
Still think it is misinformation, just like my friend who wouldn't go in her backyard in the summer of 2020.

The vaccine helps to minimize the need for hospitalization and death.
If the hospital beds are full of CoVid patients - a majority of hospitalizations and death are of the unvaccinated - what happens to those in car crashes, strokes, heart attacks when there are no more beds because of what I stated above?
So, while the vaccines have not helped in stopping the transmission - it has been helpful is lowering sickness to avoid death and hospitalization.
This is obviously off topic.. but I don’t know, I went for surgery on Wednesday, one of the biggest well known hospitals in NJ and it wasn’t overwhelmed. My grandfather is in the hospital in FL, no craziness going on in his hospital. I wish people would define the #s when they say overwhelm. And provide facts of these overwhelmed hospitals. When I think overwhelmed, I’m thinking 2020 start of pandemic. I keep hearing this blanket statement of “overwhelmed hosptials”, but don’t see where this is happening.
Now, If we get back on topic, doctor offices and testing sites are overwhelmed because of the hysteria of useless testing.
I believe it's the concern that the trend can overwhelm the hospitals fairly quickly.
ETA: I am social with a few doctors and nurses that are in the ER. They are dreading what they feel is coming. One does Urgent Care work as well and she was sharing how overwhelming things have gotten in the last couple of weeks because of increasing CoVid cases and Flu A cases. Now they test first for CoVid and if that is negative - they test for the flu and it's usually one or the other.
Maybe because they have less staff since they fired them also. The ones that were ok to work unvaccinated and praised but now pushed out.
Northwell, the largest health care provider in NY, fired 1400 out of a staff of appx. 76K...less then 2%.
I think those sick and in need of quarantining provide more of a risk to the capability of the staff then those that left due to the vaccine requirement.
Again, I don't know what hospitals are claiming they are overwhelmed.
I just saw Englewood in NJ say their ED is overwhelmed as people are going there for Covid testing.
My friend who is a nurse is so sick, she couldn’t go to urgent care around us because all of them are so over booked with people getting tested due to exposure. She had to go to Newark and is still waiting 5 days for her PCR results because they are so backed up. She also had to wait hours to get antibiotics. It’s really ridiculous. She is actually sick and can’t get help or the results she needs because of the hysterics.
She also said her doctors said the flu is horrible this year, crazy bad strain. She thinks she has the flu because the rapid was negative but she wants to confirm.
THIS is the reason WE care because it could always be one of us that is in the situation. People need to chill out and stop listening to the hysteria around them.
People are starting to drive alone with masks on again and I saw a man riding his bike past my house this morning with a mask on. I truly want to know, and not being snarky WHY you find the need to wear a mask when you are all alone and not going to be near anyone. I truly think so many people are so misinformed and that is why everyone is in panic mode and hysterical.
Well, I wear my mask in the parking lots because it’s a law. I don’t wear it while driving because it affects my vision (the masks come just below my eyes).
I will often wear the mask when walking back from the supermarket when I get my exercise because I forget, and then think, hey this is warm, so I leave it on. I’m not in hysterics. . It’s been snowing here a lot and I like to keep warm. That’s all.

The vision thing is funny. I was having an eye exam last winter and having a lot of trouble seeing out of my left eye for some reason. She even ran a special test to scan the back of my eye to look for issues. All normal. She couldn't figure it out
Finally I said- can I lower my mask? I think it's affecting me. She kind of looked at me like I was nuts but said- ok.
Sure enough- I read the chart fine.
What on earth?
LOL

I want to know why this bothers you so bad. Why do you care if people have a mask on?? What difference does that make to you? It’s their business not yours. And they are doing nothing that concerns you like making you wait extra time in a line bc you didn’t get vaccinated but now that’s everyone else’s issue bc you have to wait to get tested. I’m honestly perplexed why this bothers you so much that you bring it up in almost every Covid thread. Do you not see that nobody ever attempts to answer that stupid question for you?
Why do you keep answering her then? You are the ONLY one bothered by her answers. You keep responding to her Just ignore her.

I like wearing a mask outside when it's cold. Wearing one while bike riding makes total sense to me. A mask stays on much better than a scarf. And sometimes my car is cold when I first get in and I keep my mask on for a a few minutes. Or I might be going from work to a nearby store and I just keep it on while I drive there. Who cares why anyone else wears a mask.
I also started wearing a mask outside while walking for the exact reasons you listed. It fits easily in my pocket and stays on my face, better than a scarf that needs to be adjusted.

Northwell, the largest health care provider in NY, fired 1400 out of a staff of appx. 76K...less then 2%.
I think those sick and in need of quarantining provide more of a risk to the capability of the staff then those that left due to the vaccine requirement.
Again, I don't know what hospitals are claiming they are overwhelmed.
I just saw Englewood in NJ say their ED is overwhelmed as people are going there for Covid testing.
My friend who is a nurse is so sick, she couldn’t go to urgent care around us because all of them are so over booked with people getting tested due to exposure. She had to go to Newark and is still waiting 5 days for her PCR results because they are so backed up. She also had to wait hours to get antibiotics. It’s really ridiculous. She is actually sick and can’t get help or the results she needs because of the hysterics.
She also said her doctors said the flu is horrible this year, crazy bad strain. She thinks she has the flu because the rapid was negative but she wants to confirm.
THIS is the reason WE care because it could always be one of us that is in the situation. People need to chill out and stop listening to the hysteria around them.
People are starting to drive alone with masks on again and I saw a man riding his bike past my house this morning with a mask on. I truly want to know, and not being snarky WHY you find the need to wear a mask when you are all alone and not going to be near anyone. I truly think so many people are so misinformed and that is why everyone is in panic mode and hysterical.
I want to know why this bothers you so bad. Why do you care if people have a mask on?? What difference does that make to you? It’s their business not yours. And they are doing nothing that concerns you like making you wait extra time in a line bc you didn’t get vaccinated but now that’s everyone else’s issue bc you have to wait to get tested. I’m honestly perplexed why this bothers you so much that you bring it up in almost every Covid thread. Do you not see that nobody ever attempts to answer that stupid question for you?
I like wearing a mask outside when it's cold. Wearing one while bike riding makes total sense to me. A mask stays on much better than a scarf. And sometimes my car is cold when I first get in and I keep my mask on for a a few minutes. Or I might be going from work to a nearby store and I just keep it on while I drive there. Who cares why anyone else wears a mask.
I also started wearing a mask outside while walking for the exact reasons you listed. It fits easily in my pocket and stays on my face, better than a scarf that needs to be adjusted.
Has it been that cold where you live as honestly I haven’t had to take out my scarfs yet.

The vaccine helps to minimize the need for hospitalization and death.
If the hospital beds are full of CoVid patients - a majority of hospitalizations and death are of the unvaccinated - what happens to those in car crashes, strokes, heart attacks when there are no more beds because of what I stated above?
So, while the vaccines have not helped in stopping the transmission - it has been helpful is lowering sickness to avoid death and hospitalization.
This is obviously off topic.. but I don’t know, I went for surgery on Wednesday, one of the biggest well known hospitals in NJ and it wasn’t overwhelmed. My grandfather is in the hospital in FL, no craziness going on in his hospital. I wish people would define the #s when they say overwhelm. And provide facts of these overwhelmed hospitals. When I think overwhelmed, I’m thinking 2020 start of pandemic. I keep hearing this blanket statement of “overwhelmed hosptials”, but don’t see where this is happening.
Now, If we get back on topic, doctor offices and testing sites are overwhelmed because of the hysteria of useless testing.
I believe it's the concern that the trend can overwhelm the hospitals fairly quickly.
ETA: I am social with a few doctors and nurses that are in the ER. They are dreading what they feel is coming. One does Urgent Care work as well and she was sharing how overwhelming things have gotten in the last couple of weeks because of increasing CoVid cases and Flu A cases. Now they test first for CoVid and if that is negative - they test for the flu and it's usually one or the other.

Yes when I walk at night or especially when it's windy. I typically walk 3 miles at a time, so at some point I am walking against the wind and it really cuts down on the chill.

Re: Covid at home test kits
I don’t care if people want to test if they feel sick but it does irk me when they hoard all the tests to check themselves daily when they don’t even have symptoms. My kids are pretty sick right now. High fevers and runny nose, congestion and coughing. We did not go out running around town to stand in line 3 hours or search drug stores for a test. I do not see the point. We aren’t going to see anyone or go anywhere so whether its covid, flu or just a cold, so what does it matter anyway. But if it were EASY to test right now then maybe we would. But we cannot. Because of hoarders and hypochondriacs.

People are definitely hoarding tests just like all the shelves are bare again. Can't tell you how many people posted their tests results on fb with their holiday gathering pics.
What we need now is a snowstorm frenzy to help Home Depot unload their entire stock of shovels.
We do!!

I hope they feel better! Honestly the high temps sound like flu.
