“Bullshit”
Really? Do you work at one of our hospitals? Or you simply choose to throw out that word when you read something you don’t like? Don’t be ignorant like a progressive. Acknowledge reality.
The good news is people aren’t dying in large numbers. The bad news is there are a lot of them in the hospital, and some facilities have cancelled elective surgery. Trust me, hospitals make good money from elective surgery and don’t cancel that stuff for no reason.
Hm?....How much money was the hospital paid and by whom to run that ad?
Are the hospital beds due to the influx of Covid or due to not having enough staff that are fully vaccinated? Big difference!
Sorry....The media, government officials, insurance companies, and big Pharma are untrustworthy.
It’s Bullshit”..
There’s plenty of ICU beds the problem is staffing and hospital admission requirements. If you don’t have the staff to handle the number of ICU beds you have that’s an administration problem and 90%+ of the staffing issues are because of the covid mandate crap.
That’s reality across the country so don’t be ignorant and look up the facts for yourself. Plus the numbers are all bullshit and fear porn for the masses and covid cultist. It’s a huge lie every damn bit of it.. yes covid is real.. it’s a bad cold nothing more, nothing less and each mutation it gets weaker and weaker.
” It’s a huge lie every damn bit of it.. “
And you work at a hospital?! You deny that elective procedures are being cancelled? You affirm that you’re a moron?
I do work at a hospital. I know they are cancelling surgeries, and I’m not a moron.
fear is our business and business is good!
You must be a janitor in a hospital based on your replies.
Elective procedures being canceled is done in states through government intervention and piss poor hospital management whose only concern is $$.
No elective procedures canceled around where I live. No massive spike and hospitalizations. Florida is doing fine... As of today:
COVID-19 HOSPITALIZATIONS IN FLORIDA There were 1,411 people hospitalized for COVID-19 in Florida, according to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Tuesday report. This data is reported from 234 Florida hospitals. That is eight more people than in Monday’s report, when 258 hospitals reported. COVID-19 patients take up 2.61% of all inpatient beds in the latest report’s hospitals, compared to 2.48% in the previous day’s reporting hospitals. Of the people hospitalized in Florida, 296 were in intensive care unit beds, an increase of five. That represents about 4.76% of the state’s ICU hospital beds, compared to 4.69% the previous day.
Minnesota’s ICU capacity (including those available at 72 hours notice) stood at 1,929 on November 15th. This was 229 ICU beds (10.6%) fewer than there were as recently as early October (as of today it is down even further, to 1,848). Indeed, it is 839 beds (30.3%) down from the state’s ICU capacity of 2,768 beds in April. As of November 15th, Minnesota’s ICU beds were 58.5% occupied. If ICU capacity had been maintained at the level of early October, that number would be down to 52.3%. Why did Minnesota get rid of 839 ICU beds? Money and staffing…
As of yesterday 12/13/2021 there were 352 ICU beds housing covid patients (Source: https://mn.gov/covid19/data/response-prep/response-capacity.jsp). Of the 1848 you have that’s slightly less that 20% being used for covid. 824 are being used for non-covid issues which is just under 45% so the combined to ICU bed capacity in Minnesota is at ~ 65%.
Had they kept the 2,768 ICU beds they used to have back in April of this year you’d be even better off with a number around 42% capacity.
“Our emergency departments are overfilled, and we have patients in every bed in our hospitals”
Fake counterfeit statement from demonic possession of the Satanic kingdom.
Because they’re not on the floor.
“No elective procedures canceled around where I live. No massive spike and hospitalizations. Florida is doing fine... “
Well good gosh why didn’t you say so?! I mean, as long as someone read the paper to you and told you your part of the world is ok, then that’s definitive.
Tell you what, if I was a janitor at a hospital, that would put me about 12 rungs above you. It’s people like you that give the rest of us a bad name.
Read you Minnesota governments response.. Your numbers are BS and the MN.GOV website proves it out. There is no crisis just made up BS trying to get people to comply with a deadly vaccine.
I don’t read the papers or watch the MSM, I research and weigh options and credibility. Ought to try it and it may help you understand things more clearly.
No need to hold the ladder for someone like you. Why climb a ladder when I could use a lift or the stairs. I’m a retired along with the wife and we’re doing quite well.
The covid cultist, I’m assuming like yourself are just wondering followers submitting to whatever Fauci tells them.
“Read you Minnesota governments response.. “
Duh, I’m in Ohio. Whoever is reading to you didn’t tell you that was in my original post.
I got out late last Winter once they started pushing the ‘vaccines’ on us. We were given first option to receive that poison. Most of my coworkers did so, I declined.
I cannot say how it was during this last Spring, Summer, and Fall, but I suspect that it is the same. Meanwhile many have retired or quit likely because of the mandates. They are now offering bonuses and already have jacked up the pay scales. Still, nobody is applying, the staffing shortage is critical.
This is a result of these mandates. Personally I am very surprised that so many have indulged the Administration by going along with this required BS vaccine(s.)
“This is a result of these mandates. Personally I am very surprised that so many have indulged the Administration by going along with this required BS vaccine(s.)”
It’s due to the CMS. If the hospital doesn’t play along, medicare dries up. A couple of the local hospitals stayed with the mandate, and about a week before they were going to start firing people, the CMS backed down, so the hospitals backed down. No one was fired, but they did push as many as possible into getting the jab.
Last year, I laughed at the “pandemic” because our hospital barely had any patients. Everything was closed down to accommodate covid patients who never came. This year, it’s different, we’re seeing covid patients. They aren’t dying in great numbers, but they are distressed.
Well aware.. the post was about Minnesota. Your response was about Ohio, my post was the numbers are bullshit concerning the post under discussion i.e. Minnesota.
As for Ohio.. covid ICU patients is around ~25% of ICU beds in use so no crisis there either. Not to mention if Drs actually treated covid patients with the variety of prophylaxis that are available there would be a whole lot less but unfortunately the hospitals need the money so people suffer.

When you read any of these crisis numbers and shortages they’re BS. It’s fear porn to stir the gullible.
I saw lots of different things. Biggest thing that I noticed was that everybody was different. You would move from one room to the next and the ventilator modes and settings were always very different. Pressure mode 1 room, Volume the next. We also had exotic modes ‘APRV’ and even spontaneous. All of the rates volumes, pressures, PEEP, FIO2s were individualized. Some were hypotensive, others hypertensive. Febrile, non febrile, apneic, tachypneic. It was actually a bit creepy to see so much variation. Typically, they almost had a history of complex medical problems.
‘Almost ALL’
Are many or most of these patients on Remdesivir (Veklury) or just the unlucky COVID ones??
The first source was similar to what I read about the Mayo, then I see the clinic is giving people more time. However, there will be a cut off date.
