Hospitals in southwest Georgia are once again feeling brunt of another COVID-19 surge
Fox 5 ^ | 9 August 2021 | Beth Galvin

By Monday morning, Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital in Albany, Georgia, had 131 COVID-19 patients, the highest number they have seen since the January peak.

Dr. Eddie Black, the hospital's medical director for emergency services, says there were 45 coronavirus patients in their intensive care units, and they were expanding to open up two more to make space for additional patients.

"I'm concerned because I'm not sure that we have seen the worst that is coming," Black says. "I'm very concerned for the staff."

Dr. Black says he feels like history is repeating itself in Albany, where just 35% of residents are fully vaccinated.

"We're kind of bewildered," Dr. Black says. "At one point in time, we were ranked fourth in the world, when it comes to the death rate, behind Wuhan, the Lombardi region of Italy and New York City. And, little Albany Georgia was fourth in the death rate. So, you would have thought we would have responded in greater numbers from a vaccination standpoint."

Dr. Black says about 86% of their hospitalized COVID-19 patients, and almost all of those in the ICU, are unvaccinated.

I’m referring to those in the ICU.

I still won’t get vaccinated.

86% of the hospitalized are unvaccinated.

Nearly all of those in ICU are unvaccinated

As per the article.

I’ll believe it when I see the picture of the hospital. And not those old Getty stock editorial photos from a hospital in Italy back in March 2020.

Bullshit!

They don't know if they have a COVID-19 outbreak or just the common flu.

Unless they are doing a full genomic sequencing, which they are most probably not, they are using the FAILED PCR Test.

Per the CDC, the PCR Test cannot distinguish between COVID-19 and the flu.

Furthermore, if they are using the standard practice of 30+ cycles for the PCR test, then they are getting 80+ false positives.

This amounts to little more than more Big-Pharma Pro-Vaccine propaganda.

So you dismiss the deaths and that nearly all are from the unvaccinated?

>> 86% of their hospitalized COVID-19 patients, and almost all of those in the ICU, are unvaccinated

86% of SARS patients are unvaxed with a comparable percent in the ICU.

To maximize revenue, the hospitals can follow the FDA guidelines, blow out the lungs, and get $38k per corpse.

The excerpt does not report the demographics.

I bet the elders are likely suffering from the hospital flu, and the rest are walking out given their natural immunities.

Once again, read my lips, If they are using the PCR Test to tell us anything about COVID-19, ITS Fake NEWS, all your graphs not withstanding.

And they are most probably are since the current CDC guidance didn't ask them to use a more accurate test until December.

This is nothing but BIG-PHARMA Pro-Vaccine Propaganda.

That May/April hump coincides with the vax rollout.
