Who said it was a hunting accident?

Exactly. A good portion of those hospital beds are taken by illegals.

Not much difference, I don’t think.

Perhaps, there are other issues overwhelming the system besides covid.

I have been in long discussions with a relative who works in the ICU of a regional hospital (they draw patients from several counties).

She says that on a typical day seven of the ten beds in the ICU are occupied, and that four of those seven are occupied by drug (including alcohol) addicts.

That might be part of the problem.

How does COVID interfere with surgery?

Is he really so well off that he wouldn’t get priority in the ICU for recovery for a day?

“Or because of covid patients, they are 33 percent over and beyond their normal capacity.”

No, they are at 98% of capacity and not over capacity. Of those making up the 98% about 1/3 are allegedly CV but since the CV case counters are so discredited no one has a clue how many cases there are.

I feel super comfortable disbelieving anything being put out regarding this scamdemic. We know the PCR test is totally useless and the CDC has admitted this as has the man who actually developed the test.

BS.

Orthopedic surgeons do not treat the WuFlu and surgical theaters are not used for treating WuFlu either.

Pull the other one. It has bells on it.

“Yes they do give more of our taxpayer money for covid cases.”

So the number of cases and even deaths cannot be trusted as reported.

I’m from Chicago too; grew up in Des Plaines, as you know, it’s a stone’s throw from O’Hare. :)

It hurts to see what Lightfoot and others have done to this great city.

I personally know people at our local hospital who confirm this.

“I personally know people at our local hospital who confirm this.”

Wow. Again, this means that any numbers about cases or deaths are pretty much meaningless. We’ll probably never know that actual counts.
