  • As Omicron sends hospitalization numbers in the U.S. soaring to record levels, President Biden is promising free masks and an additional 500 million at-home tests. Meanwhile, the high percentage of unvaccinated citizens is giving rise to another issue. Dale Weeks, 78, fully vaccinated and boostered, recently passed away - not from COVID-19, but from lack of access to intensive care in local hospitals overwhelmed with COVID-19 cases. Weeks' daughter, Julie Simanski, sits down with Michel Martin to share her frustrations.

      The same thing happened to my mother in May of 2020. And due to the Covid protocols in place we were unable to be there and advocate for her. It was a cascading failure and by the time they found she was septic in July, it was basically too late. The hospital pushed her out to keep beds available.

    If you CHOOSE to be COVID-19 unvaccinated, you should not be taking up hospital resources if you become ill from it.
    If you want to play Russian Roulette with your life, more power to you. But stay away from the hospitals, ERs, clinics, etc. because you don't have the right to play with someone else's life. Stay home and let good people live.

    My sister started working as an RN almost 40 years ago.
    She's been a charge/head nurse; orthopedic nurse; cardiac nurse; pediatric and geriatric nurse.

    Let me tell you..nurses like her are overwhelmed and admin are forcing them out because they tend to
    SPEAK UP on behalf of their patients and staff, instead of focusing on maximizing profits.
    ALL this is exacerbated because of the unvaccinated covid PT's.
    My sister's already had covid once, and went right back to work after she recovered.
    She said, "Most of the time we are NOT our work - but a nurse is not just WHAT I DO...it's WHO I AM.

    The perfect storm.
    This grief-stricken woman's statement that, "...people are not being nice to each other," sums things up quite well (though rather less stridently than others in her position might phrase it).
    Matters flow from the top: Whether it's Rand Paul using the Senate pool and gym while awaiting the results of his COVID test, or Marjorie Taylor-Greene refusing to wear a mask on the House floor--and suffering near ninety thousand dollars in fines--as required by House rules, these examples of sheer arrogance and utter disregard for others filter into the public consciousness and degrade the social contract, that unspoken agreement that we will all modify our behaviour if doing so serves the greater good.
    Today, it's every person for themselves and individual rights supercede the common good. And thus are we in the terrible dilemma where critically ill patients cannot receive the care they need because politics led people to make utterly selfish choices, choices that landed them in hospital and hospitals overwhelmed.

The US is an economic system, a money making, focused economic system. Our healthcare system is therefore a money focused enterprise, and Covid has revealed the weakness of that system. And yet, in Baltimore County, Maryland, there are current big building projects for Kaiser Permanente and other private companies. Nothing is going to change here even though this story where a solid middle class family tried to find care for a sick parent badly in need of emergency care should make us think about our values.

      You are lying by omission. The context of this quote is in the current Omnicron phase of rapid spreading, but milder cases for the vaccinated. The "limited protection" provides this, but your condition could worsen without a booster even with two doses. He's not saying don't bother with a vaccination, he's saying the virus is spreading so quickly that the first and second doses aren't as effective now.
      That's why they're called Boosters.

    If the hospitals and the media would report on this kind of thing, because you know this isn't the only instance, maybe some of the deniers would change their mind. It's a failure of reporting, to some extent.

Specialized care is a precious fragile gift that we can have when our society is stable and prosperous. Pandemics, anarchy , natural disasters , greed and war can rob us of this gift. Add on top of this antibiotic resistance and we are going the way of the dodo. One day we will regret the choices we made, well, .... I guess this day just arrived.

    I feel sad that your Dad and others who needed emergency care and did all the right things like getting vaccinated could not get the care they needed in time to potentially have saved their lives. It truly is a tragedy that is ongoing at this time without a definite solution. I think the United States has to do better to come up with a solution. We should have a hospital or two in each state dedicated to non-covid patient care to treat sepsis patients, cancer patients, car accident victims, cardiac patients, perform needed surgeries, etc.,

    • @hollylorn131
      @hollylorn131 2 роки тому

      Even if each state could not provide a hospital or two dedicated to non-covid patient care, at least there should be a few of the large hospitals that can provide emergency department care with dedicated beds to non-covid patients and to keep a unit dedicated to non-covid care to accidents victims, cancer patients, sepsis patients, surgical patients, etc. This is the United States! We should be able to come up with a solution to this problem. Thank you to the daughter who in her grief was willing to talk about this critical problem with the health care system that will continue unless we take action to make serious changes to the hospital care in each state.

    I clicked on this video hoping to at least hear an argument "of both sides", but what i got instead was 18 minutes of a very heartbreaking and bleak story. I was moved. I feel though that there are a variety of reasons why people don't get vaccinated. Far right wing, far left wing, everybody has mistrust in their heart. Don't blame people for being scared of vaccines, for your father's death. You can blame the bleak and beauracratic medical industry in the USA.

    I am sorry. It is so tragic what happened to your family. Especially so close to the holidays. My 9 and 11year old nephews lost their mother and my brother's wife on Jan 4, 2022. She was a vibrant and healthy young woman. No pre-existing conditions. The right atrium of her heart refused to respond to any treatment. One of the doctors whom attempted to save her, insinuated the vaccine may have cost her, her life. He said she was not the first 40-50 year old, type O-, he had seen. He suggested that a small percentage of people in this group had experienced a dramatic outcome. This whole pandemic has been outrageous. It's such a cruel lottery. On the one hand, the vast majority of people could have been saved, had they not been persuaded to take it lightly. On the other, the life-saving vaccine could be killing a few of us.
