Well, a more accurate description is that they shouldn't be given hospital beds in the first place, in that scenario.

If their choices hurt others by denying people who made better choices care, they are morally responsible. Call it the "frick around and find out CV19 hospital bed policy".


I guess they should kick patients out of beds who had other "self inflicted" medical issues such as diabetes II and heart disease too, huh?

So airplanes are where we'll see the effects? Not grocery stores, malls, stadiums, workplaces that have all gone maskless for the last few months. It's the airplanes we're waiting on? You people are so fricking dumb.

Except that people in airlines who may have covid may still spread it to other places outside of airlines.

I really want to see his answer to this. how many vices do you think he indulges in that should lead to him not getting a bed?

Weird in declaring that it disappeared when it did not disappear.

Know people in UK, Hong Kong, and Poland with it right now.

Only when those issues are creating demand for hospital beds so high that other patients aren't being seen.

You'll have to wait a while b/c while I don't have diabetes it's theoretically possible and that's about the only issue I could see creating the same mass demand for care. That's a few decades away, though.

But more people could be seen for covid if you didn't take up hospital beds with fatties, smokers, etc. And those people were taking up beds long before coivd came, so they've had their turn to waste capacity due to their bad choices.

It's still out there in small amounts, I am on day 7 of an infection.


I, a complete non-expert and total idiot, expect it to come in waves/cycles en masse as immunity wanes and/or new variants come around. I also expect the media hysteria surrounding it to go away unless a wave or variant gets bad again

Oh yeah…it’s those totally effective vaccinations that don’t stop you from getting or transmitting the WuFlu That are doing it.


I believe the last time the LDH dashboard was posted here around 49% of the Covid cases were fully vaccinated, boosted, masked Covidiots who, despite, being vaccinated were still sick.


Que LSUPride87 to run in here and tell us that’s perfectly normal and acceptable and we knew that would happen. Really? Well, it still doesn’t say much for your precious vaccine.

The Oregonian mentioned the flu shutting down the show Hamilton.

Shocked to hell they said flu.

Is your take that there should be a prioritized tiered system for who should be allowed to have a hospital bed based upon your actions leading up to your hospital stay?

I'm sorry that logic isn't within the echo chamber where you get your "gotcha" attempts

The threat of covid was not as much the disease itself but how resource-demanding it was in terms of healthcare (specifically critical care in hospitals). On the micro level it was a flu. On the macro level, it shut down health care b/c of how contagious it was.

I argued since the spring of 2020 the smart policy was to try to control infections below the threshhold for critical care to induce more widespread natural infections to help protect more people.

When the initial claims/hopes of the vaccines turned out to be BS, it's been proven they did reduce severe health effects, which means demand for critical care was reduced. If you chose to forego this option that was fine, but it's not really moral to then demand that critical care after you chose to accept the increased chance of needing it.

The whole argument is centered around critical care, so any alleged comparison you want to make requires that same underlying threat. Outside of bad flu seasons, things like heart attacks, diabetes (for now), etc. don't present the same resource demands. Therefore, they are a bad analogy, no matter how many times Patriots™ repeat the bad points.

It was polling incredibly bad for a certain political group, and this is a midterm year, so discussion has been dropped.

In a pandemic? When those choices are specific to the demands the pandemic is creating?
