I guess they could have made and stashed billions of doses, hired tens of thousands of new people to give the shots and done it all one day in June. That would have avoided prioritization and triage.

They are not talking about vaccines here. They are talking about letting people die because they do not have enough oxygen gas, beds, and ventilators which is inexcusable 9 months into this outbreak.

And many of the so-called COVID cases are actually the flu.

The fear mongers have unfettered ability to invent data. Needed: (1) an audit of the hospital capacity claims; and (2) a report on changes in admission standards for like symptoms from before the hoaxademic started.

I am tested weekly at work and it takes 15 minutes. Flu tests are similar. The ER knows what they’re doing and they are testing.

Its not flu.

SOP in any mass casualty event.

Finite resources must be allocated to the patients where those resources can do the most good.

“not enough oxygen gas, beds, and ventilators”

I apologize. You are absolutely right. There’s no excuse for not having ramped up ICU space, beds, personnel, and all the consumables.

It’s mostly a personnel issue. There are only so many ER docs or RTa you can find.
