The Biden administration is sending 44 medical personnel from the U.S. military to support two hospital systems in the state of Michigan, state officials said Wednesday.

The U.S. Department of Defense will send two medical teams, each comprising 22 doctors, nurses and respiratory therapists, who are expected to arrive next week, according to a Michigan Department of Health and Human Services news release.

The teams will assist health care workers at Beaumont Hospital in Dearborn and Spectrum Health in Grand Rapids in dealing with the growing number of COVID-19 cases in the state, as hospitals across Michigan suffer from a lack of enough emergency rooms and staff shortages.

Upon arrival, the teams would get straight to treating patients, lending their support to local healthcare workers for 30 days, the state health department said.

Furthermore, the federal government will be opening the John D. Dingell Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Detroit for transfers, according to the news release…

I don't think Jabbing is solely relegated to just hospitals. In my little town, the pharmacy in all three of the big grocery stores gives away free Jabs with appointments.

The big difference is that this fascist government has told hospital administrators their Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement funding is in jeopardy if they do not mandate jabs for their hospital staff. That is the CLASSIC definition of fascism. Make private industry do what is politically impossible for government to do itself via threats and intimidation.

If they want3ede to get control of the virus, they would issue outpatient health care protocols other than get the jab and hope for the best.

Maybe she should fire more hospital workers?

That’s pretty bad when you have to call President Retard because you’re too stupid to run your own state. 🤪

There may be a couple of things I admire about her, but that’s about it.

Fun fact, the name "Gretchen" is derived from the Middle German word for "High maintenance psychopath" ....

[knarf]

Michigan back in play, boys . . .

[Jan_Sobieski]

God has a sense of humor

[JennysCool]

It always bears repeating:

All this ridiculous turmoil over a virus with a 99.7 percent-plus recovery rate.

[TigersEye]

Did WhichWitchIsWhitmer run out of nursing homes?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Yep

Doctors and nurses are only a small part of what makes a hospital run.

[TigersEye]

If they want3ede to get control of the virus, they would issue outpatient health care protocols other than get the jab and hope for the best.

In the old days of medicine that was called "treating" the patient.

A paradigm that was replaced with "apply insurance company approved protocols" and hope for the best. That has now been replaced with "apply government approved protocols" and "wait for the next proclamation of FauXi."

Too damned true. Locally, Vanderbilt Hospital has started a study about the effectiveness of Ivermectin. Perhaps there is a chink in the government protocols. If Vandy starts approving of it in early symptoms, then a lot of local doctors will follow.

Grand Rapids and Dearborn are both big towns. Perhaps the time has come for each of them to build a second hospital.

Not a lot of social distancing going on there.

[ifinnegan]

You may be a liberal if...

you think masks or social distancing do anything.

[dfwgator]

Point being that the Governor didn’t shut this down, even she knows how much it means to the economy.

Spectrum Health... isn’t that the healthcare company mentioned in the Durham report?

[piasa]

This is weird. Spectrum Health was the company the Russia hoaxes supposedly “linked” to Alfa Bank and the Trump Tower server.

[piasa]

Maybe there was just some evidence that needed to be added or deleted.
