    Default Baton Rouge children's hospital nears capacity

    A children's hospital in Louisiana is experiencing a wave of Covid-19 hospitalizations as the Delta variant pervades the region.
    Dunbar said they are seeing more children sick from a respiratory standpoint and an increase in those who are acutely ill from Covid-19. Many children require breathing support of some kind, whether it be extra oxygen or breathing tubes, he added.

    In July alone, 62 children came into the emergency room and tested positive with Covid-19, with 58 of them coming to the hospital in the past two weeks, Nicole Terry, the communications manager for Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System, said Friday.

    The under -twelve kids seem to be in serious danger now because there's no approved vaccine for them yet.
    The pachys seem determined to kill them all.
    I joked, tastelessly, about sacrificing the kids on a previous thread, but Florida is actually serious about it.
    Rhoda Santis has instructed the kids to NOT wear masks.

    In comparison, only 18 children came to the emergency room with Covid-19 in all of June, Terry said. "

    58 in two weeks compared to 18 in a month.

    New wave coming on. Time to go ahead and get the vaccine.

    What are you hold-outs waiting for? Are you next?

    Risk of getting the vaccine is virtually nonexistent.

    The Risk of going without is thousands of times greater.

    Lucky streaks do run out.

    The vaccine is like automatic luck.

    The vaccine is like stacking the deck against COVID.

    Evolution in action! It's sad that children have to suffer the idiocy of their parents but let's be honest, they're probably idiots too.

    Another domino falls. Everything they say about the pandemic is wrong. This time their stupidity is going to have deadly consequences for children. It was only a matter of time before they started killing kids. Grandma and grandpa were no big deal. I'm sure other peoples kids are no big deal to them either.

    Certain parts of Louisiana are as bad as Florida. Which means we can expect this outbreak to continue and get far, far worse. I wonder what state is next in line. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Almost certainly it will be a state with a low vaccination rate.
