re: Predictably, sounds like 100% capacity at tiger stadium this fall is on the chopping block

Me too what?

What the concern is right now is that schools are opening and LSU in particular opening.

Last year people said the same think going into the school year and numbers dropped into the fall/winter before spike after New Years

And that was with less kids wearing masks because it was only 8 years old and older but somehow those 5-7 year olds mustve been spreading covid all around

The science is clear all around the world that children are not vectors of the virus and schools don't add much if any to community spread

you aren't the only person with intimate knowledge of hopsitals in Louisiana.

Did I claim to be? Is it not an undeniable fact that Louisiana is one of the biggest hot spots in the world right now? And that our vaccination rate is abysmal? And that the vast majority of the cases are in unvaccinated and were preventable?

you're moving the goalposts awfully quick, doc. You could just admit that your hyperbole doesn't help anything.

I believe LSU makes it's own rules and Sharron can go frick her mother.

But if LSU wants to play frick frick games, they can roll my tickets to next year again.

Jesus fricking christ.... When are they going to allow adults to make their own decisions. Let the immuno deficient frickers stay the frick at home.

If the vaccines work as you say the do, then if you get it, and are protected, why do you care if someone else does or not????

I've already explained that it's not about the individual but the entire community and the strain it puts on the system. Constantly running out of beds, supplies, testing materials, etc is not sustainable. It leads to more death and suffering than was ever needed. For absolutely nothing.

Anyone who still parrots this line about the vaccine has a political agenda and probably isn't interested in having a real discussion.

And..... if the hospitals are sooooo overloaded, why are they firing highly skilled, experienced healthcare providers only because they won’t get vaccinated. I would think if hospitals are as overwhelmed as you say they are, that we would need all hands on deck.

---

As far as I'm aware mass firings haven't happened in this state. Facilities just recently started announcing vaccine/testing mandates for their employees. We will see what comes of that once it starts being implememted.

Also...if they are so overloaded...one would think this nut job would be at work instead of preaching on a free message board.

Doctors get time off work too.

Todays count in the LA dept of health statistics

2,901 Covid patients now in LA Hospitals
386 on ventilators
91% of those hospitalized were never vaccinated
86% of COVID related deaths were in unvaccinated people

Vaccination help to prevent infection and reduce hospitalizations and deaths no one is claiming that it's a 'cure'.

Masks help reduce the transmission of virus from people who have it to those uninfected

These all are facts

Nobody is shutting down the economy and no one is putting you in chains. It's like washing your hands after using the restroom before shaking someone else's hand - because you care enough about your neighbor. You all have a personal responsibility to do what you can to protect others. Quit crying at school board meetings and saying the devil wants us wearing masks. The surge in infections are not being in any large way caused by immigrants. It's ludicrous.

Get a shot and wear a mask then we can all attend whatever we want.

Illegal immigration may be a contributing factor to the coronavirus’ spread, but the lack of evidence makes this argument speculative. The available evidence suggests another explanation: low vaccination rates.

Coronavirus hot spots tend to be clustered far from the border or near the water, whereas the entire land border area with Mexico has fairly low rates.

The assertion that the U.S. border is “open” is a false talking point.

Show me the facts that masks work?

What about individuals that already had virus that have higher antibodies than vaccine?

What about the border? Do you think that is responsible by the Biden Administration? You know it is going to cost you guys hugely in elections...that and inflation.

If vaccines work, why do you care? These people STILL live in a free country. If they want to risk it so be it.

Why aren't you criticizing smokers? It kills millions. Why aren't you pushing a smoking ban? It would save so many more. You are an activists. Glad the rant has a couple of you. Still curious why you won't touch the border issue? It is the single largest spreader in this country.
