COVID patients overwhelm Texas hospitals, amid 'hair on fire' crisis

[Gabe Lackmann]

Fake news.

Fact check: Too soon to say how many dying of COVID-19 in England were vaccinated

A social media post claims the "vast majority" of COVID-19 deaths in England are among the vaccinated, but that data has not yet been released.

www.usatoday.com

Government Report..fuckin parrot.

Britain--less that 33% of delta variant deaths are unvaccinated.

"From the 1st of February to the 2nd of August, the UK recorded 742 Delta deaths (yes, the dreaded Delta has not taken that much life). Out of the 742 deaths, 402 were fully vaccinated. 79 had received one shot. Only 253 were unvaccinated." "Again, 402 deaths out of 47 008 cases in vaccinated...

Well you keep on with that "majority are unvaccinated" line. I am telling you that the majority in the UK are vaccinated, and when the vaccinated catch it they are dying at higher rates. The same in Israel.
So what fuckin gives? It's not YOUR fault, but the American media always seems to be parroting these same, bullshit lines that run counter to other nations.

I think you're getting bullshitted buddy.

Well, for sure someone is~

Fact check: Too soon to say how many dying of COVID-19 in England were vaccinated

A social media post claims the "vast majority" of COVID-19 deaths in England are among the vaccinated, but that data has not yet been released.

www.usatoday.com

"Virtually all COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths in the United States are now occurring among unvaccinated individuals," said Jeff Zients, the White House COVID-19 response coordinator, during a July 8 White House press briefing.
But a claim circulating on social media alleges the opposite was true earlier this month in England – that coronavirus deaths are more of a concern among the vaccinated.
"The vast majority of those now dying with covid are people who were VACCINATED against it," says a July 2 Facebook post. "Public Health England (PHE) just released a new report showing that at least 62 percent of all deaths associated with the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) are occurring in people who were already 'vaccinated.'"
The post, which copies its text from a July 1 Natural News article, a website known for spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories, goes on to add this same report shows vaccinated people are "three times more likely to die" from the delta variant compared to those who aren't vaccinated.
The claim stems from a Public Health England briefing released June 25, but it both drastically overstates the nature of the data and botches the math
But British officials say that's nonsense because no such data actually exists yet.
The public health report only identified the vaccination status for the delta variant deaths. For the time period in that report, the delta variant was responsible for 117 of the 4,408 COVID-19 deaths in England, less than 3%.
The post, however, presented the claim as if it was referring to all deaths.

From the OP:

There are 678 patients waiting for a bed across southeast Texas, with more than 4,000 patients hospitalized across the region, compared to just 138 patients in ICUs with COVID-19 at the beginning of July, according to the Southeast Texas Regional Advisory Council.

Vast majority of ICU patients with COVID-19 are unvaccinated, ABC News survey finds

Dozens of hospitals surveyed by ABC News across the country report that very few fully vaccinated people are ending up in the ICU with COVID-19.

abcnews.go.com

With the country in the midst of a new nationwide resurgence of coronavirus infections and hospitalizations, misinformation about the effectiveness of the vaccines has been proliferating on social media, with increased attention falling on the rare number of vaccinated people ending up in the intensive care unit (ICU). However, according to dozens of hospitals across the nation surveyed by ABC News, very few fully vaccinated people are actually ending up severely ill and in the ICU with COVID-19.

The article is comparing TOTAL usage now, to just covid usage THEN.


That is extremely misleading and dishonest.


At this point, that article has zero credibility.

Well...looks like Texas is having a 'Texas-sized' relapse--of note in this article is that almost all who are in ICU's...almost all who are dying, are unvaccinated.

COVID patients overwhelm Texas hospitals, amid 'hair on fire' crisis

COVID patients overwhelm Texas hospitals, amid 'hair on fire' crisis
Hospitals across the state of Texas are once again finding themselves buckling under the pressures of an overwhelmed health system, with an average of more than 1,700 patients a day currently streaming into emergency rooms across the state.
"I feel like the surge came on quicker than we were expecting," Dr. Lindsay Sonstein, a general medicine physician at the University of Texas Medical Branch's Jennie Sealy Hospital, told ABC News. "All of a sudden, it's exponential rise again in the middle of the summer."
Nationwide, more than 100,000 patients are currently hospitalized with COVID-19. About 14,000 of those patients are in Texas -- the highest number of patients receiving care on record. And statewide, nearly 94% of intensive care unit beds are currently in use by COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients.
At Jennie Sealy Hospital in Galveston, Texas, front-line workers told ABC News that at times, they feel "hopeless" amid this latest surge, particularly given the fact that among those with the virus currently being treated in the ICU, all but one patient, who is immunocompromised, are unvaccinated.
"There are many patients that are not doing well," said Dr. Shawn Nishi, an associate professor of critical care medicine at UTMB. "It's very chaotic, because these patients are very unpredictable. At one moment they look great and the next moment, they're dying. ... It is a 'hair on fire' time in the ICUs."
About two-thirds of the hospital's ICU patients are COVID-19 positive, she added, with nearly all of them on ventilators.
Nishi acknowledged that caring for COVID-19 patients for over a year and a half has been an incredibly difficult burden to bear for the health care workers, and it is now rendered even more stressful by the increasing number of younger patients. The staff is "emotionally spent" she said.

"You will see the nurses' faces. They are the heart and soul of this institution, but a little bit of them is dying with every patient," Nishi said. "Half the COVID-19 patients right now are younger than I am. ... That's never, ever happened in my career. Now, I'm not that old, so that will tell you the average age of our patient is very, very young. We're not used to taking care of that population -- emotionally, physically."
Many of the hospital's patients are so extremely sick that they are on ventilators and unable to communicate, said Yolanda Leyva, the hospital's program manager for ECMO, a device used for cardiac and respiratory support. A significant number will not make it, she said.
"This is real. And I say every day I wish those people could take a walk through these units, and see what these patients are going through," Leyva said, referring to the unvaccinated.
Leyva admitted her frustration with the rampant misinformation about vaccines, urging people to stop reading what is on social media, and instead seek answers from their doctors. "I mean, I feel bad that they died, but they put themselves in that situation," she said.

The country is in crisis, in Afghanistan, at the border, with Covid rates exploding.

Damn that Trump!

So the UK, and Israeli governments are completely wrong when they state that the majority of their hospital cases are vaccinated?

 

[bodecea]

So how many of them are illegals?

Ah...Blood Libel.

You make it too easy..fuckin' parrot.

So you're contesting numbers from a government study?

Contest the study you propaganda parroting fuck.

THE STUDY. There is a link.

 

[Correll]

Sure..if you feel misled..must be so. I'm sure those dying in Texas are comforted~

If your point is that there is a surge of infected and the ICU units are being swamped, then support your claim by showing how much usage has gone up.

They did not do that.

Indeed, they did something else, comparing misleading numbers.


For a reporter to do that, they have to be trying to lie, or utterly incompetent at their job.


Both is an option too.

Just in case you weren't aware, that's not proof of anything. The government report, on the other hand, is.

Ok, damn those Republican states!

Happy?

You certainly don't want the party leading the country take any accountability for it do you?

 

[EvilEyeFleegle]

So the UK, and Israeli governments are completely wrong when they state that the majority of their hospital cases are vaccinated?

Yes. Not that they do....and when you look at the numbers..those vaccinated who are getting sick and dying are overwhelmingly older and with many underlying health condition. There is quite the difference between an 80 year old with heart disease in a hospice..and a 23 year old with no past history.

 

[boedicca]

Perhaps letting hundreds of thousands of illegals enter the U.S without Covid testing wasn't such a good idea after all.

Indeed there is you douchnozzle. To a site that is wholly discredited, a site that engages in false math to prove a point

But British officials say that's nonsense because no such data actually exists yet.

The post, however, presented the claim as if it was referring to all deaths.
Data on deaths by vaccination status for all other coronavirus strains was not yet available, PHE spokesperson James McCreadie told USA TODAY in an email.

Deaths among older adults​

For the deaths within the delta variant group, the post focuses on vaccination status while ignoring other critical risk factors – most notably the age of those who died.
While the document did report 70 of the 117 deaths among the partially and fully vaccinated, the data actually shows deaths were heavily among older adults. Only around 3% of delta variant-related deaths were among vaccinated adults under age 50.
