PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) -- Hospitals are slammed across Arizona. The state is asking the federal government for help with staffing, and Yavapai County is so inundated, it's running out of room at its morgue.
Thursday, Yavapai County Community Health Services said it's requesting a refrigerated truck because so many people are dying from COVID. Their morgue is close to capacity, and they need to be prepared. In Maricopa County, public health leaders said it's not that bad here yet, although they are watching those numbers closely.
"January marks two years from the first COVID-19 case in Maricopa County," said Marcy Flanagan, Public Health Executive Director for Maricopa County.
COVID continues to be a huge problem in Arizona, and the county health department said we could not treat this virus like the flu.
"When you compare COVID-19 to the flu in Maricopa County, 7% of people reported with COVID are hospitalized compared with just one percent of people with the flu," said Flanagan.
With a lot of people planning to go out of town next week for Christmas, the county thinks COVID cases will keep climbing in the coming weeks.
"We are helping set up monoclonal antibody locations that are outside of the hospital systems, working with them, we're providing staff," said Flanagan. "We've also requested FEMA support to help staff those sites, and those should be opening soon."
Those treatments help the body's immune system fight COVID, and the county hopes it will keep patients from further packing into our emergency rooms. As Omicron spreads, doctors recommend masking up, getting vaccinated, and social distancing, even if you already caught the virus.
"With Omicron, we just don't have enough information to know how much protection having prior infection offers you," said Dr. Rebecca Sunenshine, Medical Director for Disease Control with Maricopa County. "We're still learning a lot more about Omicron."
Ivermectin would help with a lot of this.
If they can scare people into getting their “boosters” the propaganda show works.
OH MY GOD... Refrigerated trucks. A bureaucrat found a way to spend money. Run for your lives...
Two weeks to flatten the curve. The first two years is the worst part lol.
Forget the reefer truck, and mobilize convicts to dig graves.
If the Chinese stamped steel coffins are delayed in shipping and wood is too expensive, get some body bags from the feds.
Save the taxpayers some money.
Then it was really stupid to fire all those healthcare workers.
I do not believe the hype. It just takes someone with time on their hands to stroll around places such as morgues and ask if business is booming.
I just looked at a bunch of AZ obits.
Saw what I expected. A lot of folks in their 70s, 80s, and 90s.
What I didn’t expect to see was the number of much younger folks who have passed “unexpectedly”.
Bet it wasn’t from the coof.
So the people filling up local hospitals to puncture point are holograms? Maybe crisis actors? Not even real hospitals? Just Hollywood sets constructed by the Deep State? I smell a rat.
Maybe. Maybe not. I personally had to ask the DC medical examiner’s office for a refrigerated trailer. But it wasn’t because of capacity, it was because the refrigeration system at the hospital’s morgue went out. One sly reporter away from printing a fear porn article.
I suspect many are non citizens
Right.
Fentanyl is flooding Arizona, right along with the illegal alien gangsters.
PHOENIX Dec. 16 — The growing strain on Arizona hospitals caring for COVID-19 patients has prompted an urgent request for help from the federal government. The state Department of Health Services put in requests for medical staffing for at least seven rural hospitals, local news outlets reported Thursday. Hospitals in cities including Yuma, Douglas and Sierra Vista are in need of nurses for COVID-19 and emergency room patients, according to an official request form. Arizona's larger hospital chains have already sounded the alarm this week about being overwhelmed. Leaders of Phoenix-based Banner Health and Valleywise Health say the volume of patients is at its highest since the pandemic started. The rise in hospitalizations is due to COVID-19 as well as people who delayed treatment for other issues needing crucial care. Hospitalizations statewide were at 2,683 as of Wednesday, according to Arizona's coronavirus dashboard.
Not a lot of population in Yavapai county. The University is there so if people are dying it may be young people who have had heart problems from the jab.
“Ivermectin would help with a lot of this”.
And that right there is the reason the FDA and USPS have joined forces to destroy all incoming packages of Ivermectin from India.
If they even exist and are not holograms or clones, sent by the CFR after receiving extensive training on how to feign pneumonia hacking and wheezing. /s
Thread title appears to suggest that the hospital may have terminated the one unvaxxed person whose job was to coordinate families and funeral homes to pick up the deceased persons.
If you fire nurses and doctors for not getting the vaccine, then common sense would tell you that staffing shortages will follow. That becomes an ER that’s backed up, which means ppl won’t be seen and treated as quickly as they should be. It doesn’t mean Covid is running amok in our communities, especially if the MSM is reporting it. Do your own research if you wanna be truly informed.
No big urban center there, central, republican area. Rural. dk why they would have a big mortality.
