A 10-year analysis of hospitals’ preparedness for pandemics and other mass casualty events in the years prior to COVID-19 is warning that the nation’s health care system may not be adequately prepared for the next one. For the study, a team of researchers from the University of Maryland School of Medicine and University of Maryland Medical Center used a surge index tool called Hospital Medical Surge Preparedness Index (HMSPI) to score data from more than 6,200 hospitals nationwide.

The hospitals had partaken in the American Hospital Association annual surveys. The team also used census data to determine population estimates in various cities and geographic service area and combined it with the survey information to calculate the HMSPI score.

Preparation?
* store more masks and other PPE?
* store more hand sanitizer?
* buy more ventilators?
* stock up antiviral drugs?
* increase morgue capacity?
* build more crematoriums?

That's what they said about covid-19. There were not enough hospital beds and blah blah blah.


So Cuomo forced nursing homes to take in covid patients thinking that he had no hospital beds to spare. In the end there were thousands of empty beds. Because he followed "the science" of the scaremongers, tons of elderly people died.

Translation, they are going to unleash another epidemic to further solidify the control of the globalists.

Not to mention a US Navy hospital ship in the port that went unused because Trump sent it.

“Because he followed “the science” of the scaremongers, tons of elderly people died.”

“tons of elderly people died” = “Cuomo murdered tons of elderly people”

They weren’t ready for this one, doctors have been replaced by PA’s with a lot less education. Some dumb Internisit asked why Seniors won’t give up their Speacilist. Why should I see a idiot with 8 yrs less training, who shifts me down to a PA or NPA? With even less training. I’ve become more complicated to treat, which you aren’t trained for. Plus you insist on the latest crap expensive drugs, I already trained my Speaclist not to. NO TRIPS TO CRIME RIDDLE CITIES FOR A NEW RECOMMENDED SPECIALIST EITHER. WHERE MY GUN ISN’T WELCOME. 7 HR WAIT TIME.

TIME FOR GERIACTRICS NOT INTERNIST! WE ARE NOT READY FOR A CARE FACILITY, BUT DO NEED A BBB CHECKED OUT DRIVER. Hearing-Sight are now a issue, we no longer do the DRAG STRIPS FREEWAYS. Nor want to wait 6 months for an appointment. When I had the Meniere’s attack on a Friday afternoon in Jan ENT slipped me in on Monday. Not a issue a ER handles. Same goes for the ENDO, CARDIO. GASTRO is about aged out and ready to retire.

The next one is conveniently scheduled for 2024, just in time for the next presidential election.

And he got a pass.

Because he's a Democrat who challenged Trump.
