In reply to the discussion: Omicron Threatens Red America [View all]NurseJackie
(42,862 posts)7. Hmm. What a pity.
Only about 60 percent of Republican adults have done so. This vaccination gap has created a huge gap in death rates, one that has grown sharply during the second half of the year.
Hmm. What a pity. And by "pity" what I really mean is too fucking bad. The only shame in all of this is that they're needlessly wasting bed-space in hospitals, they're needlessly using time, money, resources that ought to be used on others.
I'm all in favor of letting the National Guard (or FEMA) set up a "field hospital" with cots so that these people will have a place to die. (Mother Teresa was won a Nobel Prize in 1979 and was canonized in 2016 for doing damn near the same thing... so let's follow her lead!)
This is a death-cult... it's what they want. They've committed to it. So when Death comes a-knocking... there's no take-backs. A heated or air-conditioned field hospital tent would give them a place out of the weather to draw their last breaths... or drown in their own fluids.
I think we can spare the morphine... but there's an oxygen shortage, so too bad. I know this will make their loved-ones sad... but as they've so often said: "FUCK YOUR FEELINGS!" So I'm sure they can understand where we're coming from.
I'm sure there are enough county fairground fields (or other open spaces) that can accommodate the tents and porta-potties.
I should have invested in the body-bag industry. Or the funeral home industry. Or any company that provides funeral services: vault-makers, casket makers, urn makers, embalming chemical makers, pancake makeup makers, furnace makers, etc.

Don't give those unvaccinated (red line in the graph) people any hospital care they can die at home.

Yes though I might add: for the unvaxxed, because it was their choice to put others at risk.

Triage is treating those who need it most but have the best chance to survive.

Unvaccinated people have a lesser chance of surviving. Scarcity of resources requires choices.

You are ethically correct but we are talking about people who have no ethics whatsoever.
