JTN:
As fears persist of overwhelmed medical systems and at-capacity hospitals nationwide, data indicate that ample hospital space remains available for both COVID-19 patients and other medical needs, with one official at a major hospital network stating that the country is “managing pretty well” the latest surge of COVID-19.
For most of 2020, rising positive test results of COVID-19 have brought with them fears of swamped hospitals, overwhelmed medical systems, emergency patients being turned away, and COVID-19 patients being triaged, suffering and dying in hallways and vestibules.
Much of that fear crystallized in the early stages of the pandemic, when parts of the northern Italian medical system were put under significant strain due to a crush of COVID-19 patients. In response, leaders and medical officials around the world suspended elective surgeries and constructed emergency medical facilities to cope with anticipated waves of COVID-19 patients.
In many cases those facilities were eventually shuttered for lack of patients, even after millions of dollars had been invested in their construction. In Chicago, for instance, the city spent $120,000,000 on four facilities to treat a total of 38 patients.
The money wasn’t burnt on an altar. All that money spent went somewhere.
It should be tracked down to show who made those decisions and who benefited financially. Betcha I already know what you’ll find.
Fools flourish in their frocking of falsehoods.i don’t trust the science, i trust in God and His word to watch over me and care for me.😉
From what I hear there is a new strain wreaking havoc in England and requiring more severe restrictions.
It seems that would make the current vaccine obsolete already (and curious for several reasons that the new strain seems to coincide with the introduction of the vaccine).
This isn’t going to go away till whatever purpose it intends to accomplish has been accomplished (and that purpose is not a medical one).
No state has more than 25% of beds filled by COVID-19 patients. There is no flu this year, for some strange reason. Question to ask is how different is the load right now vs. 12 months ago?
Remember when healthcare fraud was a heinous crime?
Repeat after me children….”It’s all Bullshit”!
@ Txn4Evr “It’s all Bullshit”!
I had that engraved on an old style Zippo lighter in JANUARY. Got a good laugh. The engraving instruction returned with the correctly engraved lighter was CENSORED! “Bullsh**”
What a bunch of Fooking idiots, basing reactions on the number of ICU beds available. PRC tests produce 90% false positives. Instead of crapping. your pants, develop. a more reliable test, morons!
The FEAR of running out of bed space is brought to you by the American Bedwetters Association.
What do you expect from politically-run healthcare?
What do you expect from politically-run education?
What do you expect from politically-run elections?
What do you expect from politically-run social media?
What do you expect from politically-run journalism?
What do you expect from politically-run money?
This entire country is run by political mobbers.
When gruesome newsome says CA hospitals are at 85% capacity, I say pictures or it didn’t happen.
Typical libs: can’t count ballots and can’t count hospital beds….
They’re keeping quiet about specialties laid off to make room for Rona sickies who never showed up. In our state all non essential surgeries have to wait. So when the hospitals claim they’re at capacity that means the three floors allowed to be staffed are at capacity. The other 5 floors are shut down by the state.
Hey Jimmy, it’s because they’s all lawyers.
EVERY jackass in grubermint has a law degree.
