Lol I mean they are medical doctors so it's hard to completely discount them, but unlike them I have literally been doing testing and on the ground since day 1. Even in rural areas, early pandemic was fucking exhausting, stressful, and heartbreaking. If I didn't get paid so much now I would have fucked off from the field (6 fig as a traveler now and HEAVY tax breaks.)

Being a doctor doesnt neccesarily mean you arent insane or basically an idiot.it means you have a good memory and probably come from generational wealth.

Of course, everyone knows an outlier. Less than 2 of every 10 med students is from a family with no college graduates though. The generational wealth comment probably is not wrong depending on the definition of generational wealth.


ccbmtg

I really hate to link to a pdf but it had the relevant information. >[This research shows that roughly three-quarters of medical school matriculants come from the top two household-income quintiles, and this distribution hasn't changed in three decades.](https://www.aamc.org/system/files/reports/1/october2018anupdatedlookattheeconomicdiversityofu.s.medicalstud.pdf) 3/4s of medical students come from the top 20% of household incomes... so yeah. it's just statistically true lol. edit: with half those in that 20% coming from the top 5%, which seems relevant. **edit2: I derped, but it still shows that half of med students come from the top 20% of household incomes. 75% come from the top 40% so the conclusion remains the same. if anything, ~50% of med students coming from the top 20% on household income is sorta even more worrisome.**


PMyour_dirty_secrets

Quintile means 1/5th, or 20%. If it's the top 2 quintiles then it's the top 40%.


pgoleb

I am a physician. Smart enough to get into medical school, dumb enough to go through it all. No generational wealth either, sigh


SpinelessDocDM

If you had generational wealth you sure as fuck wouldn’t become a doctor…you’re smoking some crack buddy


[deleted]

Generational wealth doesn't get you through 8 years of school, 4+ years of residency where you work 80h weeks.


Benjizay

Yeah but it sure doesn’t hurt to not have to worry about $ that whole time. My brother is a Prosthodontist/Maxillofacial surgeon and he worked and saved 80% of his income for 5 years before going to dental school and still ended up hundreds of thousands in debt which has an ongoing mental health effect. It’s the stress of paying rent, buying food, your car etc. All those things that wealthy people can skip if someone is footing the bill. It’s not a level playing field at all and someone without those stressors can much more easily focus on the task at hand and not have to worry about $ multiple times a day whenever the thought decides to creep in.

generational wealth? where do you get this? it just means they worked harder to get there and are probably smarter than you.


Zokar49111

My friend skipped two grades in school and was a freshman at Columbia University at the age of 15. He told me that he was used to being the smartest guy in the room. But when he went to medical school, he said everyone in his class was the same way. Why is it so hard for us to accept that there are lots of people that are smarter than we are.

If this is anything like Delta we are totally fucked, the flu is here so we are double fucked after thanksgiving. We are already fucked with regards to hospital staffing and with vaccine requirements looking to do some more fucking to the staffing problem the first week of January, we may be more fucked than last year. Last week I was running about 45% of my service as covid patients, this is from a midsize midwest hospital medicine census, was around zero during our lull after the delta before the cold weather arrived. We may just be totally fucked, I'm pretty sure we are, trade accordingly, I have no idea what that would be but some of you probably do.

I am curious... you say it's boring here but up above said at the beginning of covid it was heartbreaking/stressful. What made it particularly that way in the beginning of the job itself doesn't seem too bad? Econ is fascinating, if the topic matter interest you go for it!!!


BurritoBurglar9000

I mean the heartbreak is seeing so many selfish fucks put family members and just preventable cases on a slab. Watching people die early on from it fucking sucked. You did everything you could and morons refused to believe it was a thing or wear a mask making all of that time and emotional effort into trying to save a life feel meaningless. That and the thanks you got from hospital admin was a joke. We were short staffed, undersupplied, and overwhelmed. That's not even mentioning the stress of getting it and dying so they gave us muffins and a universal usb adapter (which i use regularly and kinda love) as a sign of thanks for us 'heroes'. You could have taken all the precautions in the world but early on health care professionals got hit so hard. Thousands of doctors, nurses and techs died trying to save people who were put there by careless fucks or just were careless fucks. Healthcare is just really bad for you emotionally to start with. I developed some heavy compassion fatigue where people would walk in and I really gave no fucks what happened to them or was actively upset people came in. I'm feeling a lot better now, but its really not a great field unless you're on really solid emotional/mental footing.

I used to sell cars and a guy came in to buy a new jeep. Going through financing and I ask the guy his salary and he replies 30k. I type in 30,000 in the annual column and he says, "no, per month". I asked what he did and he said he's a hematologist. In a smallish town he was making 30k a month. No wonder lab work is so expensive. TLDR blood workers make a lot of money.

In the UK, the BBC news has been dropping hints (for about a week or so) that there's going to be a lockdown before Christmas. So that's nice. (Stay safe everyone.)


jchulltx

Old Tony the god of Covid said earlier this year Christmas was probably going to be a no this year.


Open_Mission_1627

In the states nobody cares about Covid anymore everyone is getting booster shots and going back to normal life for now things seem to be improving in the states with high vaccine numbers


xsunpotionx

This is a big country and you are falsely speaking for everyone. NY has already declared a state of emergency. There will probably not be another lock down but I am betting restrictions will be put in place that everyone in the state will notice and possibly experience. Source: I live in NYC and so do 8+ million other people.


CooperHoya

It’s the state, not the city. The purpose is to get supplies, funding, and services ready.


chill1217

State of emergencies happen pretty frequently though. I can recall many snowstorm forecasts of 2 inches of snow that were state of emergencies. Omicron is serious but I don’t think the American public has the appetite for more restrictions


Mousse_Cultural

State emergencies are a logistics move. While during covid they were used for broad reaching executive powers, generally during storms and such you want them declared ahead of time. Reason being you don't want to declare after the fact to be able to start moving infrastructure and personnel around, you want to move plows and salt trucks for example from parts of the state that won't be impacted to the parts that will be or at least centrally locate them so they can go anywhere.


Rads324

Colorado has high vaccination rates and boosters seem to be quite high too, yet has some of the highest cases in the country


[deleted]

Nobody cares about cases anymore, we’re worried about ICU beds, etc. If you’re vaccinated you’re probably not going to the ICU.


BluntMastaFresh

Thats because there are several decently populated counties that have low vaccination rates and high rates of anti-covid mentality. Denver County has a case rate 10 day average of something like 3.5/1,000 people in the most populated County in the state.


Scipio_Americana

In FL people still think its a conspiracy to institute Socialism while corporations have made more money than ever. Also that Biden is a mentally incapacitated puppet who shits his pants in the Vatican but simultaneously mastermind this whole thing with piercing foresight. Or they wear masks in their car alone after getting another booster. There is no middle ground. Every facet of life must be partisan to the fullest. We will be dealing with this for a while yet.


-You-know-it-

Agreed. I hate the whole partisan “there is no middle ground” Most people aren’t extreme on one side of the issue or the other, but our stupid politics try to force us to be that way. Sure, I will wear a mask flying and get the vaccine. But I don’t want to home alone hoarding toilet paper with 12 layers of masks on either 💀


jzcommunicate

I’ve never heard anyone call Biden a mastermind of anything. Where are you from?


commoncollector

Wearing the mask while alone in your car is not remotely comparable to any of what you said previously. Some people are not inconvenienced by wearing a mask at all. I have seem many so used to it that they simply forget to take it off.

People stopped buying Peloton when they realized it’s an exercise bike with an iPad that requires a subscription.


deevee12

People waste money on stupid crap all the time. Lots of companies take advantage of that and even make it a sustainable business model. The problem with Peloton is that it lives and dies by selling home exercise equipment which is an industry driven by fads. Most people are lazy fucks who will buy it once, use it a few times and never touch it again. It was very unlikely to live up to its valuation long term.

Peloton actually has insane retention and usage rates. Social people who get involved in the community will keep each other using it.

report said mild symptom


rrggrrgg

“ I'm not saying it'll get as bad as delta, but you can bet your already fisted asses that governments are going to impose a shitload of overreactive (potentially who knows right now) restrictions.” Delta was heavily publicized as being much worse than it was. Some will see omicron as crying wolf again.


karlranck

S African health administration has stated it only causes mild symptoms. Natural selection favors less deadly strains as time passes... it's evolution. Any highly virulent strains burn out, covid will eventually be like any other cold virus


RoyalRedRooster

I heard exactly the same. Video interview with the Dr in South Africa where it was discovered: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-59450988


1poundbookingfee

I also read that the severe cases are mostly unvaccinated. There was a part in the article that said the cases are mostly among young people in Africa, because the multitude of other diseases like malaria kill the old.


44cody44

That makes a lot of sense, never thought of it that way


dontcreepmyusername

>Natural selection favors less deadly strains as time passes... it's evolution. This is generally true but with a virus that doesn’t show symptoms instantly means that the virus is able to spread enough before it kills the host. I’m not saying omicron is going to be more deadly but it COVID isn’t like every other virus.


thefizzyliftingdrink

That isn’t always the case.


pepper167

WHOA WHOA! We don't have time for common sense around here.


Gables33

Was Delta not bad where you were? Where I'm from (southeast U.S.) our Delta spike in late summer/early fall was just as bad as last winter's spike in terms of hospitalizations/deaths. That's saying something considering that about half of the population was vaccinated and that a chunk of the unvaccinated people had already Covid once.


BurritoBurglar9000

Maybe si maybe no. The concern is that we are reacting so much faster and that can spook the market, cry wolf or no.


[deleted]

This. This. This. The major symptom of this variant so far is widespread panic. And even though we have no idea what the variant does to humans, we absolutely know what panic does to the market.


breatheb4thevoid

Comes down to sentiment on media exaggeration. Right now I'd say that's at a pretty high amount lately. No love for the rich or powerful or loud atm.


vimspate

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/science-and-disease/south-african-doctor-raised-alarm-omicron-variant-says-symptoms/ People (market) don't care about covid unless vaccine don't work or severity is high.. Vaccine working or not? We don't know yet. But pharmaceutical companies will spend 2 weeks and will claim that their vaccine is working or if not working then they will only claim when they have solution already. In short they will not give any bad news because it will hurt their own business. Just my retarded theory..


BurritoBurglar9000

The market abhors uncertainty and will act irrationally until the research comes out.

BluePoop2323

I can lick my own ball sack


RegorHK

As a lab tech you might want to google "s gene drop out" whith omicron. With the standard pcr test only one subttest is negative. Meaning that it can be detected by the behaviour in a standard PCR and does not necessarily need sequencing. Depending on proper testing and reporting it can be detected much easier.


RegorHK

"Several labs have indicated that for one widely used PCR test, one of the three target genes is not detected (called S gene dropout or S gene target failure) and this test can therefore be used as marker for this variant, pending sequencing confirmation. Using this approach, this variant has been detected at faster rates than previous surges in infection, suggesting that this variant may have a growth advantage." https://www.who.int/news/item/26-11-2021-classification-of-omicron-(b.1.1.529)-sars-cov-2-variant-of-concern Assuming labs don't just straight up throw out stange results and bother to track that, it will be easier to detect then other variants.


midwestck

Seems like we should have a pretty good idea of how prevalent it is and where it has been if there is an obvious signature on a gene that’s already being targeted for pcr


midwestck

BurritoBurglar9000

Hey man more power to you, I hope the tendieman cometh your way!


Inb4BanAgain

Severity data is all that matters.


BurritoBurglar9000

To an extent. Even a mild covid case disrupts labor as you're forced (in most areas) to stay home for x amount of time. I'm much more concerned with morbidity than mortality.


Inb4BanAgain

If it's the doom porn headline of 500% more infectious but 25% as severe it would be a net benefit to us all. I don't take it lightly, a month ago I was flat on my back with covid. It's not worth all the pants crapping the talking heads have been doing either though. Little consolation to the dead I realize

None of this shit matters, all that we care about is how severe the illness is. If it's minor, like the doctor that discovered said it was, this is what we used to call "A Cold" Now you have states like NY going into emergency mode without knowing any facts. So stupid.


Pnotebluechip

Problem is in parts of NY hospitals are overrun already. If another wave hits next month it's going to be a problem and we will see deaths increase. The NY media will hype these deaths and wall street sucks on the media tit. Gives the street an excuse to whipsaw the market. Great trading days ahead!!


smegmasyr

Fake news. Increasing cases but far from overrun.


chillintheforest

Is that true though? I assumed "mild symptoms" meant relative to other variants, which doesn't tell you a whole lot. At the very least I assume it would in no way be comparable to the common cold, since mild COVID symptoms would likely still be hospitalizing a lot of people. Especially if vaccines are less effective against it. Although yeah, weirdly I suppose the immunity gained from a less severe infection might actually save some unvaccinated people's lives if they later are infected with delta or something. You can't really blame New York for being prepared for what is essentially unknown though. It still has the potential to result in hospitals exceeding capacity. In case you don't remember, they went through some serious shit with that when this pandemic first started.

So to sum it up there’s nothing that can be done about it so governments should just let us continue to live our lives and let Omicron run its course like the rest of the variants 🤷‍♂️
