We’re finally getting a hospital in our small community outside Phoenix. However, the opening has been delayed due to supply chain issues that were exacerbated by the Biden administration as well as the Covid hysteria. Thanks, Joke™️, and all the morons who voted for him! 🤬

Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University is located here in Prescott. It has an enrollment of about 2500.

Living in Phoenix, I follow the Arizona Department of Health Services web site on their COVID report.

The “available” beds are indeed in limited supply, but the attached chart has always looked odd. First, notice that the number of ICU beds for adult COVID patients is actually less than the peak last January. But the total beds in use has continually climbed upwards and it does, indeed look like ICU bed capacity is nearing 100% as there are less than 4% left unused!

However, notice that even though the COVID usage of ICU has gone through several peaks, the total utilization grows even as a COVID surge tapers off. As the COVID usage drops off, something else is filling the ICU beds.

I haven’t been able to determine why the total utilization is not highly correlated to the COVID surges. This doesn’t make sense to me.

Anyone care to speculate?

Fear porn- and why not. Build back criminal bill is stalled. Inflation is out of control. They aren’t getting their National rigged election bill through. Biden’s numbers are in the toilet.

Yup, time to crank up the Covid Karen Army.

HOSPITALS ARE FLOODED!!! You know, like in Florida this summer where everyone was dying (except they weren’t).

Are you thinking NAU? It is in Flagstaff, which is in Coconino County.

I think both Prescott and Flagstaff have only one hospital. Haven't heard any of this on the news here in Phoenix.

So, are they dying from COVID or the Clot-Shot?

There’s two hospitals in the Quad Cities area, Yavapai West in Prescott and Yavapai East in Prescott Valley. They serve about 120,000 people in the area. I made sure there were two hospitals nearby before I moved here.

NAU is in Coconino, not Yavapai. ASU is Maricopa. U of A is Pima.

The county is larger than three US states, yet has a population of only 236,000. They likely only have a morgue in the county seat, Prescott, and it likely has fewer than half a dozen bays. A large traffic accident can overwhelm them, as it does in several other AZ counties.

Bottom line: 8 Fentanyl casualties in the county in a year.

HOSPITALS ARE FLOODED!!! You know, like in Florida this summer where everyone was dying (except they weren’t).

Except that they were. Florida incurred 10,353 COVID deaths in August 2021, the single worst months for such deaths in Florida since the pandemic began. For the month, the state saw 30,204 total (i.e., "all cause") deaths, which amounted to 184% of "expected deaths."

In September 2021, Florida incurred a further 8,281 COVID deaths, making September the second worst months for such deaths in the state since the pandemic began (i.e., with December 2020, at 5,015 COVID deaths, ranking third). The 26,982 "all cause" deaths the state experienced in September 2021 constituted 166% of "expected deaths" for the month.

The 10,353 COVID deaths Florida experienced in August 2021 constituted an increase of some 116% compared to August 2020. The 8,281 deaths in September 2021 constituted an increase of 309% compared to September 2020.

The notion that Florida's handling of the pandemic this past summer was without serious consequence is fantastical nonsense and is meant to communicate a political message, I would suppose.
