Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Thursday waved off concerns over hospitals exceeding capacity due to COVID-19, saying “we can’t live forever.”
During an interview with right-wing network “Real America’s Voice,” Greene claimed that the media and public health officials are over-hyping the number of people that have been hospitalized with COVID-19.
“I've talked to local hospitals here in my district in here in my state. Yes, the waiting rooms get full, but guess what? The waiting rooms are full of all kinds of things, not just COVID,” Greene said. “But they're seeing about 30 percent of those numbers being COVID cases.”
She further said that while the media “tries to tell us” that hospitals are “slam-packed with COVID,” that simply isn’t the case.
"Everybody needs to get back down to common sense and remember that, you know, we're human, we can't live forever, we're going to catch all kinds of diseases and illnesses and other viruses, and we get hurt sometimes,” she continued.
Hospitals around the country are struggling as they see a surge of COVID-19 cases fueled by the highly transmittable delta variant.
One hospital, Memorial Health in Chatham County, Ga., told a local ABC affiliate that it had to stop accepting patient transfers from other hospitals.
Greene is in the middle of a weeklong Twitter suspension after tweeting that the vaccines are “failing.”
The Georgia Republican defended her stance that the Food and Drug Administration shouldn’t approve a vaccine, and that vaccines shouldn’t be mandated.
“Let’s not turn into an authoritarian regime that forces shots in arms of people that don't want it,” she said.
the hospitals are not overflowing
the way the hospital codes and handles these cases may make one or two designed-small areas of the hospital full.
Pretty much what I’ve said often: Everybody dies.
[[Greene is in the middle of a weeklong Twitter suspension]]
SHE should suspend twitter- permanently- Get rid of the account- they are scum
of course the title has little to do with what she said or meant...but hey- that doesn’t fit their narrative.
She needs to join Parlor. Everyone is there.
So they found one hospital at the far end of the state from her district that's whining. (Chatham county is Savannah on the coast. She represents the Chattanooga suburbs and the Nortwest corner of the state. So Liberal Reporter Tricks here.
I’m no one then .
It’s like Twitter
I didn’t like that place either
Yeah so? It’s democrats who think old people have no value and should die.
Her comments were reasonable overall.
And let’s not forget who makes up the majority in Chatham County. It isn’t folks that look like me or Greene.
Hasn’t it been said that the black population in this country has been hit really hard by covid, for a variety of reasons?
Welcome to Chatham County.
Greene should join the DeSantis Bandwagon.
DeSantis is the only Governor smart enough to fully push a real therapeutic along with the therapeutic vaccines (they’re not vaccine by definition: Vaccine: provide immunity against, not lessen symptoms). Countless lives might have been saved if both were pushed nationally. As soon as someone gets sick regardless of vaccination status they should get the therapeutic if you want to reduce hepatizations.
Doctors are just telling people to go home and fight it out, if you about ready to die, return.
From the article:
“Hospitals around the country are struggling as they see a surge of COVID-19 cases fueled by the highly transmittable delta variant.”
I’ve seen no evidence of this.
Neither has she
One thing conservatives don’t need to do is address every slogan and fake narrative of the Left
The Chinese probably tailored it to depopulate sub-Saharan Africa. Americans are just collateral damage.
So they finally wised up and started making special units for Covid patients? Maybe in another 18 months they'll find some kind of medication that's already mass produced and widely available that will treat the infection.
Have you tried BitShoot?
Bless you..
(Sounded like you sneezed)
To some people, “Live Free Or Die” is just a joke. Some people choose to live by that code. Way more people have died from socialism than have died from COVID.
