Same news for UK.

Nigel Farage says he went through many and they are nearly empty.

1st mistake considering FOX accurate.

If they ain't full then why are they putting people in parking garages? The full ones were sending people out of state. Now they can't find anywhere to send them out of state. You being from Texas, they will ship you off to Mexico if you have to be admitted to a hospital.

I guess the masks aren’t working?

They should close more restaurants.

LOL

It's a shell game. Their "covid units" are full....they dont tell you how many beds are in the unit (hint...not many).



Oh and most idiots are there for "observation".











Wear your masks like good tards now

All BS

We have four hospitals here in Bakersfield California and they are all full as of this week. My Sister is a Nurse Practitioner at one of the ERs she said that they are getting overwhelmed because the covid patients have filled all the admitted beds and are now taking up all but two of the beds in the emergency room. They have big tents available that were supposed to be going up in the parking lot but aren’t using them because there aren’t enough drs and nurses available everyone is putting double shifts just to staff the hospital. Our county Heath department is reporting about 1,000 new cases a day all month. Not sure what to think about it all. Mose people I know that had it just felt like it was a flu bug, but it put my dad an the hospital and killed the wife of a co worker.

They didn't apply the necessary tax increase to active the masks.

We hit 99% hospital capacity a few weeks ago, they were about to open the temporary overflow area the NG built out. My wife works Hospital and is on mandatory overtime. They brought in a bunch of nurses from out of state. Our numbers slowed the last week, so maybe things will get better soon.

Chits not to bad for most of us, but there enough severe cases to overwhelm the hospitals that normally run about 80%-90% capacity anyway. So it’s not BS, if you think it is visit your local Rona ward at the hospital. Now how the local governments are reacting is another story.

They were screaming about beds being full here too.

No one bothered to mention that if you went to the hospital from a care facility (for ANY reason - think old person slip and fall in a nursing home) you weren't allowed to return to that nursing home after care. COVID positive or not. Of course it went down on the log as a "covid hospitalization" but not for care - as a precaution.

Then someone got REAL smart and went to the press and said "I'm an RN and I just got laid off." People started asking questions and then the reporting went down on beds available...

It is bullshit. Hospitalizations for a cold.......ya seems legit


They are making bank by admitting everyone they can.

Easiest way to deal with this avalanche of such reporting is to simply believe everything you see and hear in the news.

Just wait, the more contagious variant is here.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/new-covid-strain-found-colorado/#app

They tried to say the same thing down here for a couple weeks.

It's absolute bullschit.

And they also fail to mention that if you go to the doctor for a fugking cold you're on death's door anyway.

Treatment for day-to-day medical care has not changed one iota in this country.

Sorry that some nurses are busier than normal but at the end of the nobody really gives a fugk.

I live in a fairly densely populated region, compared to some of you who are lucky enough to be in more rural areas.

My surgeon, who has done a lot of work on me (long story), has a private practice just across the street from one of the major hospitals here. He is in the hospital several days a week doing surgeries and followups.

He said he doesn't know where the media is coming up with all of this crap. They don't have any of this stuff actually going on.

Are there some cases - sure. But not anywhere near the "sky-is-falling" extent the sheep are being led to believe.

They’re fixing to beat the Obama speed record on the Nobel prize. Biden’s gonna make Covid disappear just hours after he takes office.

Back when everyone was posting pictures of reefer trailers parked at hospitals as "temp morgues" - bunch of us were talking and noticed - non of them were running.....

Straight props.

Weird. All 4 members of my family currently have COVID, and the hospitals aren't clamoring to admit us.

Jackson has nailed it. The hospitals aren’t full, it is their “COVID unit”. Keep drinking the Kool aid.

Heard a blurb surfing the news yesterday.

Some hospital getting 77k in additional fed payments per patient once they hit some certain # of C19 patients in their hospital.


Times that bullschitt nationwide.

The fraud for benjamins from this schit is rampant.......


Benjamins is what it is......

Stage 4 liver cancer = covid
GSW= covid
85 yr old with a broken hip from a fall=covid
Herion addict od = covid


Ad nasuem.........

I heard that last night also... Them 'total shutdowns' are sure workin' fine, eh??

They aren’t full here, only a couple Commie patients where my daughter works in ICU

My wife works in the ER, where they are housing Rona patients because the hospital beds are full. You have to be pretty sick to get admitted, they are sending folks home with O2 bottles and monitors that would normally be admitted. Not every county is like this, but eventually they all get a turn. That chit flat fuggs some people up, even normal healthy people. It’s a roll of the dice how it will affect you.


Do masks and shut downs work? I don’t think we know. But once you hit capacity at the hospitals you had better try something. shutdowns should only be considered when hospitals are at capacity IMO. When we hit capacity they ask us to social distance and banned large events, I didn’t think that was over reacting. And I’m pretty fugging conservative.

Why in the schidt would we believe you? These other bile filled posters come off as much more credible with their "nuh-uh" responses.

Are ERs and docs typically recommending any early outpatient care other than stay home, do nothing, and come back when you can't breathe? I'll be concerned about lack of hospital room as soon as HCQ or dewormer plus zinc is made readily available and use is widespread.

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

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.

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

It's nothing.

Every hospital in bum fugk America has that problem.

Maybe if their medical staff came out and said there's no reason to come to the fugking hospital they wouldn't have their "problem."

Some guy with lots of money paid people $1000 to go and film ERs and hospital parking lots.
They were mostly empty.

He presently has a Million dollar bounty out for Dominion voting systems...

Given none had a Covid unit in their 2019 budget, or 2020 plan its all smoke and mirrors to get federal reimbursement.
The more money they say they spent on it the more they can ask the government for.

Believe who you want dickhead. My daughter works a covid unit.

https://apnews.com/article/health-m...eveport-c76bcda2e5abd46a500763ed5a7e3440

And things in every COVID unit are just like they are in hers. LOL. This thread is bringing out a very special quality of logic.

That is the Kool aid you are drinking, not me.

Hate to say it, but ALL beds full in this border county. Whether we are a covid 'hotspot' or they are filling beds to make money? Who knows. Geno's county, Modoc, has had their first death, which is really, really bad since only 3 people live in that county. And 2 of them are Injuns.

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.

The States are dragging their feet on the vaccinations too. If your are a senior and not in a rest home good luck.

I saw that there have been around 340,000 deaths in the U.S. attributed to COVID-19, less than 0.002 of the total population. Who wouldn't bet 98 to 1 odds? While I don't want to get sick with COVID-19, it seems that the probability of dying from it is very small.

I haven't run the numbers, but it looks as though the distribution of cases is proportional to population. With CA being the most populous state, you'd expect it to have the most cases and resulting death.

Daughter and Son in law had it. Lost sense of taste and smell. Why get tested? They knew they were positive, and knew what to do about it.

50 year old coworker had it bad. Stayed home with nebulizer with O2 sat running between 80 and 85 for a week.

My wife had a friend from school age 64 died in the hospital on Monday FROM Covid.

Our workplace of 60 has had 50% get Covid and recover over the last six months.

For many of us, it is not serious. But for a few, yes it is life threatening.

But we all gotta die sometime and Covid is NOT a threat to National Security. It really is hardly a blip in the statistics of annual death rates.

All the liberals' reaction has been over reaction. Many of those writing restrictions should be jailed, or hung.

Momma and I avoid public exposure. We limit trips to the grocery store to a couple times per month. We do not attend any public venues. But then this is pretty much the way we have always lived.

Regardless what stage its still NONE of the govt business to shut anything down. Its your life. You take the risk or not.

And its pretty simple, keep away from people like you should anyway. Wash your hands. Stay home if you are sick, even if covid was not around.

People are doing stupid things EVEN with rules in place, which tell you once again how stupid most rules are.

Its not coming to every county or area even. But some will be hit harder than others. But its still far from anything to get shook up over.

And FWIW hospitals are SUPPOSED to be close to full all the time. Over the years my father had to wait in an ER bed at least 4-5 times for days to get a room in cardiac care. He has been dead since 2005..... so its ongoing.

Its all bullshit scare tactics.

Life has its ups and downs. This is one of those things. I"m so sick of snowflake media attention. Not that I do any kind of media much but to come to a sight that should be full of strong conservatives and read this stuff bothers me.

Yes its tough and even deadly on some. but the day we are born is the day we start dying....

I finally know someone who died of the Chinese Virus. My sister's best friend, a guy in his early 50s, died a few days ago in the hospital. He had been on a ventilator for a few weeks before dying. He also had all sorts of health problems before the virus and was probably not long for the world either way.

Meanwhile, pretty much all of my neighbors here have had it, including the family across the alley from us. One of them has been battling cancer for a few years and the virus was nothing worse than a mild cold that went away within a week. And the virus keeps popping up in patients and staff at the nursing home my mom is at but not a single death, and these are people on the verge. My dad was there before he died in October and surely was exposed, yet he never had the virus and died of a combination of atrial fibrillation and a few other non-virus things (including months of isolation where he concluded that his family had abandoned him when in fact we were not allowed to visit).

Meanwhile, the nonsensical "flatten the curve" garbage sure did work well....

About the only thing we know for sure is lockdowns don’t work and these power hungry Governors have no idea what they are doing.

No, we know a lot more than that. We know this virus has brought out full-on tards on both sides of the equation.

Faux??

LMAO.

Oh, you bad.

Lol!

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!

I keep hearing how bad it is in my area. That the hospital is full. How many of them are COVID patients? 2. Just 2. Every year it is full of flu patients too, but we don't masks up and we don't shut down, but we have more people in the hospital for flu than COVID ever year.

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

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.

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.”

Bulshit.

See how good the organizers are? They have recruited doctors from all across the country to join in on their lie. Do you think they are paying those doctors to make this stuff up?

Idaho has a website where case stats are reported by county. The interesting part of the numbers is that the counties that were first out of the gate with cases are now way in the back of the pack, while the counties that didn’t see any significant cases until late summer or fall have spiked.

Looking at the overall total cases/ 100K population....... once a county hits an infection rate (on paper) somewhere between 8 and 10%, cases start to drop steadily.

Wow! Truly tragic.

So what happens to his seat in the House?

Hospitals are big business and always operate at near capacity it’s how they stay in business and make money.

CA is such a mess top to bottom that I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they have additional Covid problems. That’s what happens when you promote extremely dense populations and blocks of mentally ill drug addicted people living in wall to wall “tent cities” a more or less hands off approach to drugs, vagrants, prostitution, and using the streets as personal toilets.

They had a Black Plague outbreak a year or two ago is anyone surprised that they have a Covid problem?

Special election.

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.

Chortle.

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.

What is the breakdown of L.A. County by race, messikins at or near the top?
With many living in substandard housing?

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.

Yes, because he has been a physician there for 28 years. What could he possibly know? Must be buying into the hoax. Some people are really stupid.

I think CA and their full blown lockdowns pretty much show that they don't work. About as well as Chicago and gun control.

Yeah nevermind an autopsy.. it was covid..

This.

Had it. Was a f ucking joke.

Here's a kicker for you. The whole two weeks I was off for the 'Rona my wife and two young kids were home. No social distancing, no masks, nobody got the wu-flu....lol f ucking suckers you maskers are

Our county was considered "red", gyms and restaurants shut down to 25%. The number of patients in the hospital? 2

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.

We have been patronizing a few resturaunts that ignored the last
lockdown order. Wolf's Gestapo was out as recently as yesterday
screwing with a couple I haven't even known were open.
2 have publicized that they were ordered closed, and are still open.
1 caved and went to take out.


Today we learned that come Monday restaurants can open for dining.
Again?
WTF?

And winter school sports can resume.

Read that again.

I can't go get a burger and a beer today.

But in 5 days underage kids can meet from 4 different schools
and roll around on the floor almost nekkid.

And it's just Jim Dandy fine, safe and all.

Where are you getting your information?

Not saying you're FOS but I'd like to know.

I do have a friend (late 70's) that was sent to Magee a few weeks ago. He's on full time oxygen but pretty healthy other than that (he's a farmer). He was there a week or so with the Rona and Pneumonia and recovered and is home now and doing okay.

I am of the mindset that we should ask ourselves what we stand to lose by trying some of those alternate courses of care. C19 is odd in that it inexplicably wrecks otherwise healthy people sometimes. Would you stand a greater chance of dying as a result of a reaction to Ivermectin or to using "rest" as a remedy?

His heart stopped during a surgery, for a pre-existing condition he didn't have, and he died.

Just more covtard bullshit.

Covtards ain't never gonna admit they's morons, just like AGW morons won't admit it.

Just gonna be years and years of anecdotal bullshit, pulled outta their asses, like meltin glaciers in Africa, whenever they feel the need to publicly menstruate.

You must not get out much. I’ve lost count of the healthy 30, 40 and 50 year old men and woman who dropped dead with no prior health issues. I worked in a medium sized fire department minutes from some of the best hospitals in the country. People die young from all kinds of things, always have. Wear your mask we are all in this together.

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.

I did a test with a mask today. I even taped the top under my eyes to the mask. After about an hour of sanding drywall I took off the mask. There was almost no difference in the covered area and the unmasked area.

It's like my son in law, who did bio-something in the navy, said. You're trying to stop a mosketo with a chain link fence.

I was being sarcastic about the mask.

Houston's ICU's were at 18% today. That's damn low.
