    A short documentary on two nurses' work in an ICU.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/24/o...gtype=Homepage

    One of the comments from readers:

    The scenes in this documentary are not unlike the environment where I work as an occupational therapist in a long term acute care hospital in Jackson, Mississippi. We see scores of "recovered" Covid patients who will never truly recover from the lasting symptoms of the virus. They are not the "long-haulers" given recent media coverage, people who return home with chronic brain fog and dizziness, changed but largely functional. There are people in their 50s, 60s, 70s who will spend the rest of their lives in nursing homes or so debilitated that, if they do go home, they will need full-time care, their families left with insurmountable debt. Yet despite this knowledge, living in a politically conservative and deeply Christian state, many staff members at my hospital refuse to be vaccinated. The tragedy of this virus is not only the failed leadership that led us to this point, but the ongoing virus of social media that's fueled misinformation, disregard of common sense, and eroded trust in science.

    It certainly points out the dangers of politicizing everything. Unfortunately that remains an okay for me, but not for thee situation for even critics of politicizing COVID.

    I saw that. I think you're in the same area as me. They're basically saying that they don't have the resources to provide free testing and to ramp up vaccine distribution so they're focusing on vaccines.

    Yeah, and I mostly agree with the decision, even though I thought it was odd that they also admitted the only bottleneck now is vaccine supply and not staff. But it will certainly lead to fewer tests and positive test results. I imagine that isn't isolated to our area.

    We're going to see one more surge in cases and deaths because of a developing sense of complacency. We can't seem to help ourselves.

    We have open slots, so much so that they are cutting back the hours they are giving vaccines. Must be a supply thing? Or else the need to open it up to other age groups ?
