Like El Paso, I wonder if illegal aliens are sneaking into the country already sick and going to the emergency entrance of the hospitals who are forced to admit them.

If half a kilo of blow breaks in your bunghole smuggling kit, it’s a covid death.

Wait? Why are they storing bodies in The icu! Get ‘em out, we got sick people’s needing them beds! 🙃 Ok i only read the headline. Sounds like too many dead people taking up ICU beds

Not unusual during flu season. Perfectly normal. And hospitals WANT the ICU at or very near capacity. That’s where they make the most $$$. They are designed to be that way.

Scamdemic.

Yep, but it is really dangerous after 2100 hours.
It thrives outside when food is available, and it hates people with too much melanin.

I have also heard first hand of this from some friends in medical that there is less a problem of beds and more a problem of staff who are burnt out and quitting, despite the wages they are offering.

News of the diminished ICU capacity came as the state announced the deaths of 379 Californians, marking the highest number of fatalities in one day since the pandemic began and surpassing the previous record set the previous day.

Note how the paragraph is structured. It says it's the largest number of deaths "since the pandemic began," but doesn't specify which deaths were DUE to the "pandemic."

I just heard that Placer County, which does not have many illegal aliens, now is at 0 available ICU beds.

I heard that hospitals get something like $35k from we taxpayers for every COVID patient they take in. Can anyone verify that? If so then everything from measles to cancer has probably been purposely misdiagnose as COVID.

It’s a crafty, clever virus. It knows about the Santa Clara County / San Mateo County county line. You cannot eat outdoors in Santa Clara County, but cross the county line and you are just fine eating outdoors in San Mateo County.

I haven’t seen any huge filters erected at the county line keeping the virus out, so I can only assume it is one smart bug.
