As cases of COVID-19 rise throughout California and the United States, an increasing number of people are being hospitalized or going to the emergency room, worrying health officials that the surge could potentially strain health care systems.

Ok let's look at the state public health data
COVID-19 hospitalized patients in California Hospitalized ICU 3,874 COVID-19 hospitalized patients 41 fewer patients hospitalized from prior day total (1.0% decrease)
So according to the state provided data hospitalizations due to COVID actually went down.
Why are they spreading untruths?
They are Democrats. It’s to be expected.
Oh no. We better just all kill ourselves. It is better than this crap.
They seem to be always rising, don’t they?
And for some more context, according to the federal HHS's "Protect Public Data Hub" on hospitalization rates (purportedly updated as of today), state-wide, approximately 79% of California's in-patient hospital beds are currently "in use." Of these, 6% are "in use for COVID-19" patients.
Current ICU utilization in California? Approximately 77%, with 13.8% "in use for COVID-19."
Now it is the case that deaths involving COVID in the state of California started increasing in August 2021, compared to August a year ago. That increase became stark in September 2021 (i.e., up 102% compared to September 2020), and continued into October 2021 (i.e., up 85% compared to October 2020). Whether COVID deaths in November 2021 in California will match or exceed those from November 2020 remains to be seen -- so far, 2,099 COVID deaths have been reported for November 2021, compared to 2,576 in 2020 -- since the reporting lags by a number of weeks.
All that said, there seems to be no basis at all at the moment for breathless reports that the California hospital system either is, or is about to be, overwhelmed (or even stressed) by COVID cases. Their hospitalization and ICU utilization rates strike me as being pretty nominal.
“...or going to emergency rooms....” That’s a pretty diverse group they’ve lumped together for their stat. Quite a few people use emergency rooms as clinics.
That's been my stance for a while now. A reboot of the planet also works.
2022 is an election year.
Notice how Big Media isn’t screaming about “rising deaths”
cases are all they’ve got to panic us with
that’s how we know the “crisis” is winding down
I talked to a respiratory therapist that attends our church and I asked her how many cases of Covid they have at her hospital and she said 4 and they are scheduled to leave. She works at Christus in Shreveport and said it is at the lowest point in a while.
Hospitalizations never surge during winter flu and pneumonia season. This is such a mystery. Giving hundreds of millions of experimental jabs ( some repeatedly) that have been shown to damage the innate immune system …certainly couldn’t be a factor.
I’ve seen nothing in this variant that warrants Britain’s extreme response to it: Dr ANGELIQUE COETZEE, the doctor who alerted the world to the Omicron Covid variant, says we are over-reacting to the threat
“Now it is the case that deaths involving COVID in the state of California started increasing in August 2021, compared to August a year ago.”
Believe it if you want to but personally I don’t believe a word coming out of any institution/agency which is governmental or deals in any way with the government.
This seems to have been the MO for a while - always “cases”. The sensible person ask “what is the results of these cases?” Media has no interest in reporting that, apparently.

They start to go up after that. I paid about $8B to hospitals and docs each year. Yes mostly elective but the rates do go down a lot. even emergency room visits.
What percentage of this so-called “rise in cases, hospitalizations” have been vaccinated?
Oh, that’s right, this is just another unofficial mouthpiece of DNC Propaganda so that information may heed their Indoctrination so it cannot be permitted to be published.
Don’t believe any data coming out of California, NY, or Michigan. Any hospital official who criticized the fear would be out of a job.
They probably do not know about the monoclonal antibodies. They think things such as Ivermectin is verboten per the science. Hahahaha. It is no wonder they are flocking to the hospitals.
