Ohio is calling in the National Guard to help out in the hospitals.
The state government is also paying for temporary staffing in hospitals.

Would be easier and cheaper to mandate masks, TBH.
DeWine is thanking health care workers. I wonder if he will order pizza.
Almost all hospitals in northern Ohio have stopped elective surgeries.
Likely will happen in the rest of Ohio soon.
He is asking schools to keep masks in classrooms for the next few weeks. 🙄
We need a Churchill, not a Chamberlain.
MetroHealth in Cleveland is at highest capacity ever.
Cleveland Clinic is at 95% capacity.
DeWine is tiptoeing around vaccinations. Deflect!
Note that media questions had to be approved
(Y'all - it's looking pretty bad. Expect tents to be put up outside ERs so people can die in there, out of sight, rather than in the parking lots.)

I think something is living in my wall. 😬
It sounds big.
It’s in a part of the house built over a a slab and I cannot see around the foundation because it is hidden by an enclosed deck. Methinks a clever mammal found a nice home.

Can white people stop being such dumbasses and learn from Taiwan? Honestly, it is time to check your white supremacy, individualism, and subtle racism at the door.
And for those who call Taiwan a “tiny country,” it has 24 million people and is among the 20th most densely populated places on the planet.
And Japan did the same trick. It has 124 million people, is 11th in the world in population, and is one of the most densely populated countries in the world.

Just a reminder that it was clear that everyone needed to get booster shots over TWO MONTHS AGO but the ⁦@CDCgov⁩ blocked the plan because they have no idea how to handle a pandemic emergency politico.com/news/2021/09/1…
Biden’s plan was to start getting booster shots to everyone starting Sept 20.

Every vaccinated person who gets harmed by a serious breakthrough infection can blame the @CDCgov

Always behind the ball. From the get-go, starting with bad screening strategies and a defective test.
Not to mention the pitiful messaging on airborne transmission. Don’t even get me started on that.

Antivaxxers are fine with you dying for their ideology.

Antivaxxers convinced thousands of French Canadian parents to allow their children to die from smallpox in Montreal in 1885.

They have a long history of killing people. Don't fall for it. macleans.ca/society/health…
Interesting article here -- resonates with today: “Vaccinophobia got reinforced by anglophobia until for some lower-class French Canadians hatred of the English and hatred of vaccination seemed to go together...You resisted the oppressors and all their works.”
Montreal in 1885 was split between English-speaking and French-speaking factions, each with their own cultures and newspapers, and who apparently didn't agree on facts....much like today with Trumpers and non-Trumpers. Image

Man's 12 Years of Migraines End After Leafy Green Diet, Less Red Meat

Animal fats are high in omega-6 fats, which break down into pain mediators.

Plant fats are high in omega-3 fats, which break down into anti-inflammatory mediators.

This isn’t hard. businessinsider.com/12-year-long-s…
My father had severe disabling arthritis in his hands. I told him to get rid of all dairy and meat, and just eat veggies and fish. His symptoms were 90% better in a week. He was pressed peeved that no doctor had suggested it to him before I did.

If he ate meat it came right back

Really weird how nonchalant people are about the unknown long-term effects of Covid in children, when we know that common and seemingly trivial illnesses can cause devastating complications decades later.

Rheumatic heart disease (L) from strep throat used to be common. Nml (R) ImageImage
My father and my maternal grandmother both had rheumatic fever after strep. We still see the late complications in immigrants from developing countries.

We prescribe penicillin for strep throat mainly to prevent this complication. Acute strep goes away on its own in a few days.
My father needed emergent valve replacement in his 50s when his valvular stenosis worsened unexpected rapidly and he went into florid heart failure. His valve aperture was so tiny that the cardiologist couldn’t even get a catheter through it.
