President Biden thread

My social circle is 100% Biden voters as far as I know and not one is turning against Biden over Afghanistan.  They understand it was started by a Republican President and the withdrawal was started by a Republican President that kicked the can.  Yes, it's an unfortunate mess, and armchair politicians can debate it all day in how it was handled.  

I think I'm with a majority that were polled that support the withdrawal but not how it was handled and is turning out.  

We also understand that covid is running rampant not because of "covid infected criminals" being allowed into the country but because of the variant that is overwhelming making the unvaccinated sicker and filling up hospitals again particularly in states with low vaccination rates like Alabama.  

I'm hard hit Florida (where studies show areas that went for Trump have the lowest vaccination rates) and the governor is taking a hit in approval ratings because our death rate is reaching new highs not even seen in 2020, and about a third of new infections are children, and he's fighting with schools over masks.  No one is thinking about Biden in regards to covid here. The double digit rate of positivity here which has bordered on 20% is higher than at the border.

 Shaprio's main goal is life is to own liberals.  While he's good at being catty, spinning, making conservatives cheer and angry at liberals and he may even be intelligent, he's certainly failed at making liberals cower at his sight.  I'm rather sickened by the likes of him.  

 

Future President DeSantis is more popular than ever.  The "approval" rating you note is from St Pete which is infested with ANTIFA and art schools.....We got hit in Florida before school even started so that policy really has nothing to do with it.  

My ER(large high volume trauma center) is only on a 6 hour wait today according to the queue yet 12 hour waits were standard prior to Covid.  We have empty beds both in the ER and the ICU.  Don't believe everything on the news.

Florida hospital capacity is a matter of record.

I don't necessarily believe everything on the news but I don't make up stuff either.  

We're a trauma center here as well and have always had beds and ER waits are long, but we're not on divert.  I'm not sure why you're referring to this anyway as I never mentioned it.  Florida has been near capacity, and some hospitals have canceled elective surgeries, but I don't think we ever ran out of ICU beds like Alabama did the other week.  

The potential good news is that things might be plateauing and the covid situation in Florida isn't getting any worse, but you can't deny it's as bad as it ever was.  My hospital organization has 300 more patients that it had during the Summer 2020 peak.  Like I said, I don't make things up.  

My point was DeSantis is scoring no points right now with his anti-mask in schools stance while the rate among children is at an all time high and deaths are at an all time high.  I'm sure when it comes time for re-election he'll be okay and he's especially popular for his anti-covid restrictions which are none.   Considering he barely one by one percent he has his work cut out for him these days.  

Tampabay saw 10,000 cases of covid three weeks into the school year while people lead by DeSantis argued about masks.  

Actually where I got the idea that DeSantis is losing a bit of his popularity over covid came from Politico, a pretty neutral news source, and not the St. Petersburg Antifa.

St. Petersburg is "infested with art schools".  Well yes, the artsy scene is big here with lots of studios and galleries,  but is that a bad thing?

That lists my hospital's ICU capacity at 91% which I already knew.   Not good.  But really should I say "we have ICU beds so the situation isn't that bad, don't believe the hype" just because we have beds or that ER waits are "only 6 hours" when ordinarily the hospitals advertise on billboards their ER wait times of 10 minutes or less.  Six hours really isn't that bad when you're sick.  We had a guy wait in the ER for 12 hours and turns out his hemoglobin was 5.4.    ER also has a lot of covid patients holding for days to get a bed inpatient.   But still they are managing and like I said, our OR is open and we have ICU beds, and unlike a lot of ERs we aren't on covid divert...just barely.

It also says the hospital less than a mile away is at 108% capacity for ICU beds which might mean their ER is holding a lot of ICU patients.  We are the trauma center but they still have the preferred ER for the community and they are really struggling.  They canceled elective surgeries to deal with the situation there.  They are offering nurses a $750 bonus to work an extra 12 hour shift.  Many staff are infected with covid at both hospitals.  The LTAC hospital here is offering $1000 per extra shift.  

Crazy times.  

This isn't hype.  Facts.

As a health professional, if you have some evidence of elder abuse you should report it.  The worrisome word scramble expert lost the election and is no longer President.  

Well I tried. I called the white house directly to speak to Joe but they said he couldn't come to the phone because he's on fall precautions and it's his bath day

I called the DC police but they said they couldn't help me because they were defunded...

I've been unable to find a source that verifies any of your "facts".  Perhaps you could provide them? 

I gave you this CBS story before but you will have to Google it since I can't activate a direct link.  Perhaps that was the source of your inability to read it the first time:

Is this the article you're referring to: Biden administration increases border deportations and prosecutions to deter migration?

Seems like that would be a easy thing to find if true.  The article you now are referencing, which I was able to find quite easily, says no such thing.

It amazes me, that the oft repeated expectation those on the right source their claims doesn't seem to apply to those on the left

To be fair she did say it was CBS News and that she can't post direct links.  There was another poster who said her phone doesn't doesn't do this so I have to take that at face value.  Was this poster one of the one's that slammed people on the right for not posting sources?

I don't like when people don't post sources and have to dig.  Anyway it sounds like the Biden administration is deporting and instituting Trump era covid rules.
