Hospital stats for MS. Scroll down and check out the bit about the hospital availability tool being “revised”.

Interesting timing, eh?

Wonder if part of the purpose of the hospital ship is to cost shift some the state’s Medicaid burden to the federal taxpayer...

Wanna bet Medicaid patients are sent to the ship and the hospitals keep the privately insured...

Yes they will run their pos algo like they did in 2020 and generate any number they fancy. Pretty soon there will be more filled beds than capacity.

Total bullshit

Yeah I noticed that too. Also the numbers are about the same as they were last winter. Did they ask for help then and are all the vents and ICU beds covid patients? Also things might be starting to trend down, today should tell the tail. Lastly how many deaths?? It's supposed to be updated weekly but the last update I see is on July 10.

There's no doubt they've had a surge but it's hard to judge how bad it really is. I would advise people to follow whatever numbers they trust and not fall for the never-ending propaganda that's being slung around.
