Oklahoma will be having a painful test of the upper limits of its hospital system shortly:

The United States is 4 to 6 weeks behind what’s happened in the UK with Covid. We are only at the beginning of this new Covid wave and face a steep painful ascent to the summit that will test the upper limits of our hospital capacity in Oklahoma. #Covid_19 #Oklahoma https://t.co/BJ4iXRbE3K

The little buggers have always been expert at spreading disease amongst themselves without thinking, why would anyone think that had changed?

I am skeptical about this being anything more than finally confronting current reality and how it's playing out requiring stopping the bullshit, but it's worth pointing out that people are thinking it:

Yes, this is my concern.

Whatever can make (of all goddamn people) @GovRonDeSantis pull a 180° from literally selling “Don’t Fauci My Florida” t-shirts to hosting a statewide vaccination address is D I R E. https://t.co/FaD66fmBcZ

KIDS HOSPITALIZATIONS—hospitalizations are ~2-3 times more than back in the winter months with #COVID19 in Arkansas. “We are seeing more and more kids admitted because of their COVID infection”. This is #DeltaVariant. Let’s vax and mask to protect kids.https://t.co/2Yndb26aMx
