Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Fox Radio just said (essentially) the hospitals in Ca are Full.

My AO is much more populous than Laurel and that bulshit doesn't fly here. People are way more communicative and interactive.

Go peddle that schit in Bakersfield or LA.

I've lost count of the number of people that have had it.

It's nothing.

Our hospital has been very busy and near capacity for several weeks.
As told to me by workers there.
The ER is full, beds are almost full.


But...

We have about 5 ER beds.

13 normal beds,

And severe ICU.
But, UPMC "Temporarily" closed our ICU well over a year ago.
With no plans to reopen it. Basically they have turned out hospital
into a walk in clinic with a He liked.

The next level hospitals in the area are also about full.
But my personally creditable Intel from them is more limited.

The organizers of this hoax must be really good at what they are doing. They have red state redneck doctors buying into their scheme.

"Here in Laurel, essentially a third of our in-patients are COVID,” Horne said. “I’ve been in practice since 1992 here in Laurel. There’s never in those 28 years been a single time that we had one disease take up a third of our hospital, and essentially our entire intensive care unit is COVID.”

Actually, they do work to a large extent, but at huge costs----in money, jobs and lives. There is a better way.

I've lost count of the number of people that have had it.

My wife's doctor essentially said "get rest." My doctor immediately prescribed steroids and cough medicine.

I'm sitting in a great Mom and Pop smoothie shop right now that is full of people enjoying excellent smoothies and great sandwiches. Nobody's wearing a fugking mask except when they go to the counter to order or pick up their food.

Everybody's tired of this sham schit.

Geisinger in State College, Mt Nittany, Conemaugh (Duke Lifepoint), and UPMC Altoona were all full (ICU and Medical both) as of last week. Not sure about now. UPMC and Conemaugh were sending people to Magee Womens Hospital in Pittsburgh. The State College hospitals were sending patients to Danville and Hershey. Conemaugh got a freezer truck for a temporary morgue this weekend. This wont mean schit to anyone who isn't from the middle of nowhere in PA.

According to the media, and by extension politicians and agencies whose water the media carries, C19 is imminently dangerous to everyone.

According to reality, C19 is massively contagious (in the right stage and circumstance), and dangerous only to those with certain comorbidities, deficiencies or interfering/competing ongoing treatments. For some or most of these folks, the "controversial" z-pack type treatments (in one form or another) used across the world are effective at arresting and reversing C19 progress when administered soon after onset of symptoms.

Your wife's doctor offered the most dangerous advice possible for C19. He's not atypical. The past nine months have been illuminating for me, to realize to what depth the US medical profession has dropped. Doctors and agencies are killing folks by withholding effective treatment on account of TDS. It's remarkable, and won't be forgotten.

Nearly every cold that I get goes to my lungs for bronchitis. I've had walking pneumonia twice. Otherwise I'm reasonably healthy. C19 a month ago gave me a momentary fever, some sinus drainage, an hours-long sore throat, and then some mild chest congestion and cough (in sequence over a few days). Along the way I lost most taste and smell. I had acquired some zinc tabs and C early on in April, and quickly rounded up some quercetin and D3 after the runny nose, all of which I took in accordance with recommended dosage by those who've developed various HCQ and substitute protocol for treatment. I had to mine that info out of forums, blog posts, senate hearings and testifying MD's websites. No "official" governmental or industry association offers that info.

It certainly affects people differently. A 41-year-old recently elected La congressman with no pre-existing just went down for the count. But don't worry. Biden is on the horizon and will fix it all!

Tell that to the 41-year-old congressman with no pre-existing conditions who died from it. It's nothing for some and for others it's death.

Not sure what the actual hospital capacities look like, but will say this chit seems to be blowing up out here. As an engineering manager for 16 office buildings, I am on the covid notification list. When this thing kicked off - and throughout the summer - I would see maybe one notice each week or two. Now I am getting one to three notices a day. Seems to be a decent personal measure for what's going on.

Until a month ago, I knew nobody personally and locally who had gotten it (except for one who said he tested pos for antibodies, but never knew he had anything). In the last month or so, 6 of my guys have gone out with it. Four of them returned after two weeks isolation with minimal symptoms no worse than the common cold. Two of them wound up in the hospital. One just got out after being in for 3 weeks (will be at home at least another couple weeks), another one just went in, and was given some treatments and sent home because they "were too full". Guys in their late 40's or so, and both in decent shape. Last one should be hopefully be okay soon as he is still in pain, but fever has broke, and he is doing better. But almost two weeks ago, he woke up with sniffles, and got tested. Positive. He told me "no big deal, I don't feel much of anything". Next night when I checked in on him, he was calling 911, thought he was dying, and was "in the worst pain of my life". Ambulance picked him up, they saw him, ran tests, some treatments (not sure what), checked oxygen levels, and sent him packing by the next afternoon. He was quite scared he was going to die at home he told me.

When a tough, hard working guy like that says "worst pain of my life" and calls 911, I pay attention. I watched this guy damn near break his arm in a pump / filter explosion, and he was trying to refuse medical treatment (as I sat there a bit wide eyed looking at the injury to his arm and wondering how the hell he thought he was going to continue about his day). When he says he's scared, in tremendous pain, went to hospital, was tested and turned away, I'm not sure what to think about that. But I do know I want no part of it if I can help it. Having said that, [bleep] the media, this mask and business destroying shutdown b.s.

That Herd Immunity so often touted here is really working well.

I worked security at a hospital in Des Moines in 2012 and 2013. We had the Winter of 2012/13 that had some kind of flu going around. We had every bed full in the building (350 beds something like that) with folks who had the flu.

I heard about 2 weeks ago we had a local gun dealer lose his wife and daughter to the Covid. I talked to him today, he did infact lose his wife and daughter to the Covid. My guess is his wife was in her late 60's early 70's and I have no idea about the age of his daughter. There is no obituary so I am assuming he will wait until better weather to do something with the cremains and post something . Sad news indeed.
