Idaho Collapsing Under Pandemic, But Still Not Getting Vaccinated

Jade Dragon said:
Umm, Idaho population 1,787,000 million. New York City 8,622,357. Do the states by a percentage of the population and not just raw numbers. You're comparing puddles to lakes and having a losers celebration because your puddle has less infected.

Hey fat twat, what do you think deaths per capita means?

Been a bitch of a month.

In my company, we have both union and non-union stores. I was in a non-union store until July, when I transferred to a union store, so my insurance carrier changed. I transferred back to non-union after 6 weeks. In the meantime, my non-union insurance was inactivated.

At the beginning of September, I’m on vacation and truly off the grid. I sprained my ankle hiking, so that ended my vacation. I got close enough to civilization to call home and found out that my wife contracted COVID. So, I return home immediately.

I go in on Sept. 17 to test for COVID and find that my insurance in inactive. In limbo due to transferring between union and non-union. Great. I test positive for COVID, have a severely sprained ankle and no insurance. FUCK!

Luckily, neither one of us required hospitalization. Just sick as hell for a couple weeks. But, REALLY stressed about the insurance thing and NOBODY can seem to help me. Uncountable hours on the phone.

It took forever to wade through the FMLA crap and for some (still) unknown reason, my short term disability thing was cancelled 8/31. No biggie. Don’t need the $$.

Happy ending. All dental, vision and health insurance has been reinstated. Still haven’t looked into the disabilty thing, but that’s WAY down the list of priorities.

Pretty effed up, huh?

What an ordeal. I hate dealing with insurance companies. I’d rather have dental work, :laugh: Glad you are on the mend. Glad neither of you required hospitalization. Aren’t you glad you were vaccinated!

Yeah, that’s great, but I live in Boise and got breakthrough COVID from my asymptomatic grandkids. They got it in their anti-vax school district.

I agree. Let the unvaxxed idiots die off, but I was sicker than hell for a couple weeks with longer to fully recover. I avoided the need for a doctor or hospital, but that bug was a bitch.

So, the unvaxxed still pose a risk to us all.

So you were vaxxed and got it, right?

I dread thinking about how I would have been without the vaccine.

All Idaho hospitals have been on "crisis standards" since September 16th. They have not only filled their own hospitals, but also Washington's hospitals. They have ended up sending patients to the majority of other states, while sending the bill for all this air traffic to the federal government. A patient (without health insurance, of course) was actually flown to NYC from Idaho. Chicago hospitals have gotten over a hundred Idaho patients.

You would think they would react to all this failure by reversing their positions and getting vaccinated, but no. Idahoans are still refusing to vaccinate.

Worse yet, they are attacking doctors and nurses for even implying they should get vaccinated.

Over a 98% chance you'd live but a 25% chance you'd suffer from Long Covid for a month or longer.

Why people dance with getting sick is a mystery to me. Anyone who has had the flu just once should know that vaccinations are worth their weight in gold.

I hate being sick and always update all of my vaccinations.

Yep. The vaccine did it’s job, despite losing some of its efficacy after 7 months. I stayed out of the hospital and have no lingering effects.

In a couple months, I’ll still get my booster.

That's a serious false equivalency. Covid is not the flu, it is a similar pathogen, though.

Now go fuck yourself with a Saguaro.

..Gettin' all emotional you are..:(

Pretending to be.

Dutch is a twisted fuck. He's traveling all the way to michigan " Wait till he sees that absolute shithole of a town she lives in" to see Fowl woman and get high with her. I think he's trying to bed the nasty old bag. Uggggg,....I cant even imagine. Maybe he's blind. :awesome: Wanting to bed something like THAT shows just what kind of depraved mind this guy has.

The city in Michigan? There's quite a few Michigander transplants to FL. They're my favorite out-of-staters for some reason. :dunno:

There's nice parts of Michigan outside the motor city.

You assume you will not now? You are taking a risk that may not pay off. The shot is free and easy to get. 750,000 Americans have died from it. Do you think getting a shot makes no sense?
