Current CNN front page headline:

'Your child will wait for another child to die.' Amid Covid-19 surge, Dallas County has no pediatric ICU beds left, county judge says

https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/13/us/da...eft/index.html

Now some actual text from the article:

Covid-19 cases and hospitalizations are surging and in Dallas County, Texas, there are "zero ICU beds left for children," county judge Clay Jenkins said in a news conference Friday morning.

"That means if your child's in a car wreck, if your child has a congenital heart defect or something and needs an ICU bed, or more likely if they have Covid and need an ICU bed, we don't have one. Your child will wait for another child to die," Jenkins said. "Your child will just not get on the ventilator, your child will be CareFlighted to Temple or Oklahoma City or wherever we can find them a bed, but they won't be getting one here unless one clears."

The judge added no ICU beds have been available for children for at least 24 hours. The Texas Department of State Health Services told CNN the shortage of pediatric ICU beds is related to a shortage in medical staff.

"Hospitals are licensed for a specific number of beds and most hospitals regularly staff fewer beds than they are licensed for. They can't use beds that aren't staffed. With the increase in COVID cases, hospitals are experiencing a shortage of people to staff the beds that they are licensed for," department spokesperson Lara Anton said.

So it went from "we don't have enough beds because a bunch of hospital staff is sick" to the misleading "your child will need to wait for another to die, says a Texas judge".

Yellow journalism at its finest.

funny how it's always Texas and Florida they do so much reporting on, I wonder why


fucking cnn is clown news

[CryptoNinja]

Huh.

[Walter Sobchak]

How about you and I make that bet? $1000? Must escrow.

Why the fuck would I make a bet with you when I can go online and make whatever bet I want? I am not interested in making a bet with some guy who looks to be a goner with a heart attack this time next year. Get your cholesterol fixed which is the easiest fucking thing to do, oh wait you have an Obama Care plan so maybe not. In the meantime, you have an opportunity to bet $10K on Predictit right now, you don't need escrow or any of that shit, takes like 5 minutes. Step up, sounds like you are a ticking time bomb anyway, so run the fuck out of that credit card and stiff the Man at the end.

Even money on the Republicans is better than you could get on predictit. You should take that bet rather than talking out of your ass like a retard.

I wasn’t offering even money but it would still be better off than paying PredictIt fees.

I don’t know what would lead you to think that. I said “that bet”. Did the bet he described sound like even money?

Both Walt and I read it as you were offering even money, probably just a coincidence…….typically if you want odds you wouldn’t just say how about $1,000?

Pretty much everything related to kids or millennials is based on the assumption that they can spread the disease. No one is worried about the health ramifications to them.

For modelling purposes they are important because they are either more mobile than boomers or are shipped to a virus store where they are given 37 doses of virus that they then bring home.

Children that go to school/daycare connect households in really bad way.

Rats were the among biggest spreaders of plague. No one cared what happened to the rats.

"No one" is worried about the health ramifications to kids and young people?

The scare pieces on CNN and other mainstream outlets speak otherwise.

Notice the ominous headlines tend to read, "Children's Hospital Almost Out of Beds Due to Huge Pediatric COVID Admissions Spike", not "Children Might Be Spreading COVID While Presymptomatic". Even The Lincoln Project got in on the action, showing a graphic video of a little kid near death while on a ventilator.

The implication is that we need to support lockdowns and mask mandates in order to keep our kids from dying, and this time they're totally really in danger, and not just being used as pawns by the teachers' unions like last time.

Ok. From now on just assume when i say no one, i mean no one credible.

I have zero doubt there are dumbasses saying stupid shit all the time. I have even less doubt that news organizations that focus on entertainment will find aforementioned dumbasses and give them a voice no one needs to hear. Maybe i shouldn't assume that most non mouth breathers have at this point learned how to weed out worthless information.

And yea all the global school closures were just about your precious teachers unions. It's not like it's a standard protocol with infectious diseases or anything. That would be crazy.

So they did a thing where they decided to use a quote that was most likely to bait clicks. I wonder if there's name for that concept?

And here lies within one of the biggest problems with the invention of the internet. It used to be people would pay money to award winning newspapers with journalistic integrity to consume information. Sure you would also have some Editorials and opinions would manifest in the work per a normal human bias but all things considered it was about the facts.

Now nobody pays and what most people think is they want to be informed but what it’s turned into is they want to be entertained.

Don’t give me that mouth breather bullshit becuase it’s mainstream allegedly unbiased institutions that are busy trying to entertain by sensationalizing.
