[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m covid cautious (tripe vaxxed, still wear medical masks in stores etc) and yet I still remember DCUM falling all over itself just a few months ago to agree with this thread. Such ridiculous nonsense. I am tired of this hysteria.

I work in an ER and this wasn’t hysteria, it was true! Wait times were over 24 hours for patients. It only lasted a few weeks but it was horrific. Not necessarily in terms of deaths (thankfully) but in terms of sheer numbers of patients.[/quote]

Sorry PP, with people's urge to treat the whole 2 years of the pandemic as a nothingburger, just based on the mildness of Omicron (friends have had Delta, and you would not have wanted that one) any medical professional that wants to talk about the actual patient loads in the hospitals is going to get "canceled."
Thanks for your work.[/quote]

Come on. The Twitter thread was full hysteria that simply didn’t happen. Here is what else she said, among other things:

[quote]
When we go to grocery stores & find shelves empty, to pharmacies & find them closed because every single employee is out sick themselves or tending to a loved one. Please get what you need to look after your household. Fill prescriptions, get over the counter meds & staples…[/quote]

And on and on. And that simply didn’t happen.

This level of hysterical ranting does nobody good. [/quote]

Maybe you just didn’t need to get meds filled in late December/ early January because the CVSs around us both closed for 3-5 days at different points due to lack of staff. PM Pediatrics also closed a few locations due to lack of staff. [/quote]
