    Does going to the hospital really even change much? I remember reading that those who needed a respirator were $#@!ed to begin with.
    Actually, they discovered pretty early on that ventilators were being overused and causing more harm than good in some cases.

    I work at a large hospital. We close units because of lack of staff.
    So then this supports the idea that bed space isn't an issue.

    Apparently space isn't the issue. It's staffing. You can't fix that when the institutions which educate and train that staff are locked down.

    In the first lockdown the makeshift hospitals were empty. The hospitals were empty. Specialists were closing their doors. The lockdown was worse than the fake covid. The inactivity and lack of access to fresh air caused more sickness than the fake virus did.

    You are killing yourselves following the stupid lockdown rules. Communist mayor Eric Garcetti has criminalized walking. That's right walking.

    I suspect this is true of most hospitals. Some rural hospitals may be in trouble, but they typically always are operating on the brink.

    I think that's what the hype says more than it is the reality. Of course there may be some truth to it in certain locations and you also have to remember that hospitals were nearly bankrupt by lockdowns. Cost went up, revenue down= layoffs, furloughs, cuts. They really haven't been put in a position to prepare for much of anything. Also most of them are barely back to normal utilization at best. And of course they are now more government dependent than ever.

    Hospitals weren't overwhelmed the first time, as was evident by the numbers of ventilators they gave back and, the dismantled makeshift hospitals, shortly after they were put up.

    There's no second wave, either.
    Yep, even the hospital ship President Trump sent to NYC treated like half a dozen people.

    Our RINO governor keeps warning that our hospitals are getting overwhelmed. It's too late little Shepard boy, you've cried wolf too many times already.
