One size does not fit all for 50 states as different from each other as we are.

Ok, so how much money in the next bailout package for hospitals affected by the plandemic, because it REDUCED their number of patients?

The governor of WV should get in touch with the Surgeon General and see if they can't perform elective surgeries as an exception (given that they are not occupied with COVID-19 problems).

There's no reason a blanket rule should apply to the entire country unless it is truly required.

“No, they just cancelled all elective procedures.”

That was my point - they won’t get caught flat-footed. Obviously they have people paying attention to what’s going on.

Why cancel elective surgeries if there wasn’t a crisis yet in WV?

More damn hysteria and FR now is wall to wall full of these fear mongers! Sad to see a site I have been on for 20 years go downhill so fast!

Please stop. People concerned are not “fearmonger imbeciles.”

My daughter works for a company that processes medical claims. Their business is way down. No elective surgeries and visits for things like ortho and well checkups are way down. They may have to lay off some people.

I am concerned. The way most on FR are reacting goes WAY past that. Fear mongers is the nicest thing I can call them and not get booted.

In this case, it fits.

Depends on which state in flyover country. West Virginia has fewer cases than most so far.

Cannot believe there is not a better way to balance the high Covid case states and those without.

I would think the Austin area would be a heavy colloidal silver territory with Alex Jones there. Of course, Walmart, Amazon, Costco, Kroger, etc, have all been selling it to the point of “out of stock” sales. That’s why we will probably continue to have lower than expected serious cases throughout the country, in my 25 years of being a CS user’s opinion.

A hospital system in Kentucky was going through the same problem last week. This is what happens when the media hubs of NYC and DC dominates all of the population. This “economic lockdown” should be done on a state/region/county level.

My BIL had to be rushed to the hospital several hours ago. They are not letting anyone in the ER except the patient. My SIL is sitting in the parking lot in her car and the ER people call her on the cell phone periodically. She took him to urgent care and they suspect sepsis so called the ambulance to take him to the ER. She says there is hardly anybody at the ER but they have tents set up outside for covid 19 but nobody around. So much for the huge epidemic.

I visited several local emergency rooms today. In Houston. All empty. There were many more people (in scrubs) outside sitting in chairs under tents than anywhere else. They all chatted with me and told me that nothing is happening.

“Beds empty, revenues slowed at hospitals in West Virginia; CAMC announces hours reduction measures”

hospitals in Colorado are literally empty as they canceled all elective procedures in anticipation of a massive surge of sick and dying that never came ...

There is a big difference between being "concerned" and the fear mongering that is going on here on almost every thread. I think the word "imbeciles" is rather sedate.

Hey, here’s an idea. 250$ for a Tylenol and 125.00$ for an aspirin.
