AP.
We know the approach they will ALWAYS take.
And our take should be one of do not trust, but still try to verify.
Remember, they are journalists.
Ergo, we’re not talking anyone even close to going past spelling STEM.

SALT LAKE CITY — With new coronavirus cases shattering records on a daily basis, The Salt Lake Tribune reports that Utah’s hospitals are expected to begin rationing care in a week or two.

“rationing care”... more fear porn. How evil they are.

Under the criteria, which would require Herbert’s approval, patients who are getting worse despite receiving intensive care would be moved out first. In the event that two patients' conditions are equal, the young get priority over the old, since older patients are more likely to die.

i.e. the goners

This is a story that originated, I believe, as a Utah TV news report. At the time, it was criticized because while it inferred that ICUs were crowded with Covid patients, much of the patient population was people having surgeries that were delayed by the lockdown.

They don't bother to mention that in Utah, deaths are way down. A recent day listed one death state wide. I was able to get this info in about 3 minutes. The AP reporter could have checked, too.

Then why don’t they ask for a field hospital instead of doing press releases??

No worries. Biden has the plan. Everyone will wear their masks while driving. Therefore, vote for old Joe, he will calm people’s fears...unlike the killer Trump.

Gotta be at least the fourth time media has pushed this scenario...

Never happened, and it won’t again.

This doesn’t mean that they’re all coronavirus patients. One of the big problems now is that’s there’s such a medical backlog (for surgery and treatments cancelled to deal with the - never happened - COVID crisis) that a lot of people are just now finally getting their surgeries and the things that may make them require ICU treatment.

Not to mention those who will die because of the 3-4 month medical shut down. I have heard bad stories of people who couldn’t be seen and now are being diagnosed with things that have progressed beyond the easily treatable point.

Fauci has blood on his hands.

And here folks is your October surprise!!! I knew this was coming when last week I saw a long line of cars waiting to be tested at the testing centers! Never had ever seen that since the six months that we have been under the corona crap! Someone is paying those people to drive up in their vehicles by the hundreds to be tested!!! and now all of a sudden our hospitals are jampacked with patients etc. our mayor has declared a semi curfew etc...This again it’s beginning to smell like a hoax on fire October surprise! They want to revive the scare and to remind people of trumps inability to have control the China virus! Something stinks to high heaven! This has the fingerprints of the Biden camp money fix!! For months those testing centers that were around my location were empty empty empty I only saw few cars if any driving through but then all of a sudden out of the blue 100’s of vehicles are in line for hours waiting to be test!! They want Texas real bad and they’re going to try to ram fear and panic down our throats again!! Mark my words by the middle of the week the situation in my hometown will be splattered all over the mediasnakes 24/7 fake news outlets!! This is a Satanic devious evil planned attack! Why the people can’t see it is sad!
