on coping with C19 lockdown

Meh. All of them have one thing in common; their lips are moving.

That may be true, but at least when it comes to COVID-19 and vaccines, Biden practices what he preaches

Exactly.... don't be stupid get vaccinated.

This is the exact opposite of what they should be doing. Don't reward the selfish and irresponsible.

Unvaccinated people in Tennessee are now getting prioritized for a potentially lifesaving COVID-19 treatment after it grew in popularity among anti-vaxxers, leading to a nationwide shortage.

Monoclonal Antibody Treatments Popular Among Anti-Vaxxers Now Limited to Unvaccinated in Tennessee

So the obvious question is, why do they trust the voodoo of the treatments and not the voodoo of the vaccine?
They do not have the medical background to distinguish the Black Magic involved in either one.

I agree. Something is seriously wrong with this picture.

Because their YouTube doctor has warned them about the vaccine, but not the treatments.

The nonsense on Fox News doesn't help.

Unlike vaccines, the monoclonal antibody treatments are too new to have years of boogeyman rhetoric built up against them.

Another Kiwi covid success story

A typically tragically boring meeting a few days ago of the Waipa District Council was conducted by ZOOM and open to the public, so that the 30,000 or so local ratepayers could tune in and watch their councillors discuss such fascinating topics ad to how much methane by way of bovine flatulence is put into the atmosphere by Waipa cows.

However, the meeting went viral with almost 300,000 people from throughout the world watching so that they could pretend to employers, workmates, friends and family that they were actually participants in a busy important meeting to avoid whatever.

I can report that being in hospital during lockdown is even less fun than lockdown at home.

Admitted a week back with need for urgent surgery, been in recovery for past five days with release not likely for at least another five days.

This morning, we received news that two patients on the ward tested positive for covid last night. One had been here for a week but had not tested positive until his roomie complained of symptoms and was (re?) tested.

Though they have now been moved to a covid ward and deep-cleaning etc has occurred, still a worrying time for patients (many of whom are elderly and have significant health issues) and staff here.

That's sad to hear Vault. I hope you come out of this alright and I look forward to your posts after you're released.

Medical ethicists criticize doctors refusing to treat the unvaccinated (yahoo.com)

Linda Marraccini, a family medicine doctor in South Miami, Fla., is tired of patients who refuse to get vaccinated, endangering themselves and everyone they come into contact with ⁠— so she gave them an ultimatum: Get vaccinated or find another primary care physician. Marraccini sent out a letter to her patients last month, informing them that since the Food and Drug Administration had fully approved the Pfizer vaccine, she would no longer see those who were not fully vaccinated.

If patients aren't going to follow your advice why have them.
