COVID-Stricken Oregon Deploys National Guard to Hospitals
 
14 Aug 2021
Associated Press | By GILLIAN FLACCUS

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Oregon’s governor said Friday she will send up to 1,500 National Guard troops to hospitals around the state to assist healthcare workers who are being pushed to the brink by a surge of COVID-19 cases driven by the Delta variant.

Gov. Kate Brown, a Democrat, said the first group of 500 Guard members will be deployed next Friday to serve as material and equipment runners in the most stricken hospitals and to help with COVID-19 testing, among other things. Troops will be sent to 20 hospitals around Oregon.

There are 733 people hospitalized with the virus in Oregon as of Friday, including 185 people in intensive care units — more than 60 people more than just a day before and nearly double what the number was two weeks ago.

57% fully vaccinated, from what I could find.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Smoke so thick you can smell it as far away as North Dakota, causing respiratory (flu-like) symptoms: eyes watering, congestion, respiratory distress, even without fever there will be an increase in testing as people seek relief.

An increase in testing is likely to cause an increase in recorded cases, whether the tests are accurate or not.

Good call.  I would say yes.  Smoke inhalation irritating lungs......

If covid is so bad, WHY bring in innocent people,  to INFECT MORE?   Then send them back to their unit and infect even more?  MAKES ZERO SENSE.  NATIONAL GUARD SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR THIS TYPE OF ISSUE. 

What about relatives, family members of these 'infected", to put them to good use.  Why bring in MORE PEOPLE?

Also a good point, one that reeks of Cuomo style medicine. If they would not deploy the NG to save Portland, they should not deploy them for this.

No vaccine in use in the US contains any coronavirus, dead or alive. No vaccine in use in the US can "give you covid."

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

True, but someone vaccinated can catch other variants, and with few or no symptoms act as a carrier.
