Michael, not all beds can accommodate Covid patients though. I probably should have been more clear. I wasn't trying to be dramatic about it, I just heard it on the radio.

Nope, Paul Krugman should stick with what he knows, economics. Wait a minute, no he shouldn't he's never been right on anything he's said on the economy either.
Maybe he'd be good at disappearing from the public arena, that would be a good thing to happen for America.
Toady Krugman claimed for years and years globalism was good for America. Now that it's overwhelmingly apparent toady was lying through his teeth, Krugman is pretending he had no clue and is walking that back to remain relevant.

The comparison of not getting a new vaccine injected into one's body with driving while intoxicated is not only weak....it's just plain stupid. There are some much better and more relevant arguments than that by a long shot.
This shaming push along with legislative pushes and freedom removals is really the wrong approach with Americans....particularly Americans in the groups who have not already been vaccinated. Our country basically started as a rebellion against tyranny. And there is still strong feelings about that here. You don't convince that kind of population of anything by these tactics. That simply pushes them the other way. A much better approach, and unique as this sounds, is clear messaging that is unwavering, transparency, and support of clear science along with consistent support of individual decisions and rights. There are countless people right now that won't vaccinate BECAUSE the government is pushing so hard for it. Now it is a matter of principle. And the left has put everything behind this approach, and thus blinking at this point would be considered complete failure in their eyes.

Dictator Biden said today that everyone of the 1.2 MILLION Federal employees and Military will be REQUIRED to take Vaccine. He also said he expects all foreign Visitors to be required to have Vaccine before they can enter America. I guess who ever is pulling his strings and telling him what to say and do has not told him yet for sure about the Foreign Visitors. Yet he still allows ILLEGAL ALIENS WITH Covid to enter and he is dispersing them through out America WITH Covid.
I think with the Democrats this has become much more than a Public Safety deal it is forced Compliance with the Master.

This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.
Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

It's official, the word from the government VA is quoted below in a newsletter email I received this morning.
"Nearly every death from COVID-19 is preventable
Nearly every COVID-19 death in the Veteran community and U.S. as a whole is entirely preventable through getting a vaccine, VA Secretary Denis McDonough said July 31 at the DAV National Convention in Tampa.
With COVID-19 cases rising with the Delta variant, McDonough said 99% of those dying from COVID-19 right now are unvaccinated.
All Veterans, their spouses and their caregivers can visit VA and receive a free vaccine."

If you let the government tell you what to do, and make all your decisions, you don't have any balls in the first place. Just FYI

Lost another cousin in Wilmington Ohio and a second in ICU now due to Covid, no vaccine.. You have a a chance if you get the vaccine, if not odds are not in your favor.

Well actually, the odds are about 99-1 in your favor, with or without the vaccine.

Be happy to. This is from July 23, 2021, so less than two weeks ago.
"On average about 98.2% of known COVID-19 patients in the U.S. survive"
"Because the true number of infections is much larger than just the documented cases, the actual survival rate of all COVID-19 infections is even higher than 98.2%."
