We had Birthday Cake at my Sis in Law tonight. She's a ICU nurse and of course the major subject of conversation during the evening was Covid. There are no beds here. She said they have an Emergency room full of covid patients. Patients in rooms on oxygen waiting for someone to die so they can get on a ventilator. Not one person that has gone on the vent has come off of it alive that has contracted Delta. They have 20, 30, 40yr and older patients on vents right now. Its getting all ages. The only man from my town to come off a vent did in a tiny hospital 20 miles away after they gave him experimental treatments of Ivermectin (which is used in Livestock for gastrointestinal roundworms) He is the only known case of a unvacinated Delta survivor that was vented. Its all over the news down here. Its sad that the last words that are often spoken is "make sure my kids get vaccinated" or "can I still get the shot" before the vent goes down their throat. The first one can be done as for the second...its too late now for the vaccine. Sis in Law said in her 20 years as a nurse this kind of death never occurred to her as a possibility. She comes home crying every night from talking to the relatives of their patients.
