Liberal fear messaging is out of control.

Title of the article says it all. 12 cases of the Covid variant confirmed in a city of 2 million people and preparing for ‘mass casualties’.

We’ve officially reached a point of zero faith in political ‘leaders’ and media. This coming from a major news outlet in Austin.

Is that the title of the article? I don't want to click the link and give their fear mongering headline extra clicks.

No one with brain function pays much attention to the daily propaganda anymore. Or government officials. Or the imbecile "experts" paraded out by either.

Here is another:

Headline: ‘The Ugly Truth For Us’: 4th Wave Of Cases Has Jackson Memorial’s COVID Floor Packed With Unvaccinated Patients

quote:

On Friday, there were 171 COVID patients at JMH. It rose by three on Saturday. By Sunday, it was at 195. Now, it’s over 200.


quote:

Zacharski told CBS4 all the patients here have several things in common – they’re younger and none of them are vaccinated.


None of them are vaccinated… later in the article

quote:

Most of our patients are unvaccinated,” Dr. De La Zerda said.


Younger… later in the article

quote:

All the patients that are currently here, six of them are under 60 years old.

Only idiots read local news. They have all gone to the clickbait model.

You are lining their profit books. The best way for them to stop is for conservatives to stop clicking on them and getting outraged and sharing over and over and over again. That's how they make money. Idiots from both sides.

Of those cases, 1,816 are currently active and a total of 897 deaths have occurred. As of Tuesday, 292 people are currently hospitalized in Travis County, with 103 people in the ICU and 59 on ventilators. 


There are 12 confirmed Delta cases because they don't have the resources to sequence every case.

Still ridiculous but not because of the 12 number.

I swear to all, if people that were against this media propaganda we’re 1/1000 as motivated and active as those on the left these thing could be less radical. But no, most consider things like sending emails, making phone calls and the like to be petty; ineffective or whatever.

Meanwhile leftists have built an entire societal movement on tweets (real and/or fake) and scare tactics.

Reading is hard, so I’ll paste this here.

Local officials said that about 17% of the people currently in ICUs are under the age of 30.

Your point still stands about ridiculous fearmongering though.

Local health officials say talks are still in the early phases in regard to establishing alternate care sights should hospitals become overwhelmed. Should the need arise, officials told KVUE it is unlikely the Austin Convention Center would be re-established as an alternate care sight


Fear mongering AND stupid. Winning combo.

I don’t know about variants and all that mess. Here is what I do know. My 17 year old son tested positive for Covid yesterday. He’s not sick just says he can’t taste his food. My 21 year old daughter also tested positive Sunday and she’s sick as a dog. They chose not to take the vaccine. I’m 51, caught Covid in 2020, took the vaccine when I could at a later date, and I tested positive for Covid yesterday but don’t feel too terribly bad.

I will say this. Here in Daphne, AL and Baldwin County this Covid is making a comeback. It took 4 hours to get tested because there were so many people saying they were sick. Mobile is also seeing an uptick in new Covid cases. I am so sick of this damn virus, frick China, and you are damned if you do and damned if you don’t on this vaccine debate.

I’m assuming all these tourist headed to the beaches aren’t helping matters but it’s fact more people are piling off into these hospitals lately around here. Guess it’s survival of the fittest and I hope the country doesn’t overreact to this crap because shutting everything down again is not a good idea.
