Georgia governor calls out National Guard to help in hospitals as cases surge
The Hill ^ | 08/25/2021 | Cameron Jenkins

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) issued an order this week to deploy more than 100 National Guardsmen to hospitals across the state in order to aid hospital staff amid a surge of coronavirus infections that have caused emergency rooms to reach capacity.

“These guardsmen will assist our front-line health care workers as they provide quality medical care during the current increase in cases and hospitalizations, and I greatly appreciate General [Tom] Carden and his team for their willingness to answer the call again in our fight against COVID-19,” Kemp said, according to WSBTV.

“This Georgia National Guard mission is in addition to the 2,800 state-supported staff and 450 new beds brought online I announced last week, at a total state investment of $625 million through December of this year," he added. "I continue to urge all Georgians to talk to a medical professional about getting vaccinated."

The hospitals there have had more than a year to prepare for any surge.

There should be no need for NG.

They’re firing unvaccinated nurses. They need bodies to pretend to do medicine.

Why not follow the Florida model? They have had almost no deaths over the week or so. In fact their 3-day and 7-day averages are lower then they have been since the start back in March 2020.

I’m starting to wonder what these sick people “really” have. I know people that have COVID. I don’t know anybody that has died. My neighbors two doors down have it now. They are stuck home from work and spend the days playing on Facebook. People in my family have had it and while they said it wasn’t fun they NEVER felt like they needed to be in the hospital.

I know some people get really sick but none of these numbers make sense.

It sounds more like “we’re all gonna die” fear tactics to promote the vaccines to me.

Florida. You could have all the facts posted on a billboard and people will 100% disagree on the conclusions. O.J. was set up.

On Jan 8 2021 GA had 13,296 cases.
On Feb 16 2021 GA had 246 deaths.

On Aug 24, 2021 GA had 9186 cases.
On Aug 24, 2021 GA had 46 deaths,

The numbers are down.
Why are they less able to handle COVID now?
They all seem so thrilled with the vaccines, but their situation seems somehow more dire than ever?

It makes no sense.

The hospitals are overwhelmed with stupidity for firing nurses and doctors who refused their Tyrannical Jab Mandate.

more than 100 National Guardsmen to hospitals across the state

The whole state? What's that--0.25 men per hospital?

Oh, the humanity.

I don't trust vaccinated nurses to know about health care.
