China’s overwhelmed hospitals turn away ambulances during COVID surge
NY Post ^ | 12/27/2022 | Mark Moore

China’s hospitals are so overwhelmed after the sudden reversal of the country’s “zero-COVID” policies that many have been forced to turn away ambulances and critically ill patients.

Emergency rooms in smaller cities and towns outside Bejing are teeming with sick patients, slumped on benches and lying on the floor due to a lack of beds.

With intensive care units at capacity, the facilities are not able to admit all of the patients being rushed to them in ambulances.

Bejing-based doctor Howard Bernstein has not seen a situation so dire in the three decades he has been practicing medicine.

“The hospital is just overwhelmed from top to bottom,” Bernstein told Reuters at the end of a “stressful” shift at Beijing United Family Hospital.

I think your tinfoil hat is too tight.
Crisis simulations are frequent.
We used to have crisis simulation of nuclear war. Didn’t happen.
And, no, Bill Gates doesn’t want anyone dead.

Back in the day rich Americans, such as Carnegie and Hershey, Would build libraries or schools for orphans.

Gates seems to have a fetish about viruses.

“I learned early not to believe the CCP about anything regarding Covid”

My first read of your comment I read as CDC

On the contrary, China is dropping all quarantine rules effective 8 January , and going with “ herd immunity”
Sadly the weak in the herd will die
But the strong are needed for a functional society
Their losses will be high because they did not do this 2 years ago
But maybe they will use IVM and HCQ and traditional meds to get through
And not let people die for a big pharma driven agenda

Vaccimes have saved many more lives than libraries.

Bill Gates is on video smiling at the prospect of “getting our attention” with the next, more deadly pandemic

At best he is on the spectrum and his empathy button is dysfunctional

At worst he is a narcissistic sociopath with an god-obsession to scientifically reengineer the human race in his ideal image. Healthy, herd managed via sterillity, producing the wealth he controls

“Vaccimes have saved many more lives than libraries”

One could ask how many have been killed or disabled by libraries, if we’re going there

An hour after sunset look to the west just over the horizon. High up you can see brilliant yellow and red colored clouds from all the ash from China’s crematoria.

Really? I guess you and Gates consider me as part of the unwashed peasants.

At least Carnegie tried to help the unwashed with building libraries and not subject them to viruses.

Whatever happens, it will be over fast.

And one more thing that can be taken to the bank: the CCP will be lying, no matter what they’re saying.

Why did they need IVs? I would think they would need oxygen and respiratory meds, but unless they cannot drink, , running IV fluids is a waste of time.

Your ignorance is showing. Badly. I report neither fake news or sarcasm.

There are lots and lots and lots of video’s coming out of China. I watched long video yesterday depicting what are horror tales of a sick public of tens of thousands in many different cities that are desperately seeking medical attention that has totally overwhelmed the system.

My few sentences do not begin to describe the catastrophe currently in progress.

We think in terms of a LA or New York as large cities with big problems. New York and LA are small compared to a Chinese city with 33 million people that have been suffering and sick but completely locked down. Suddenly they are released and immediately seek medical relief.

As an aside, very well noted, many died under lock down. The vans are literally lined up at the crematoriums. Scheduling may take as long as five weeks. There were stories told of corruption and paying thousands to jump the line for the earliest possible cremation.

My thought is to rejoice because the problems are laid at the feet of local and CCP that is totally unable to solve them. There may be revolt.

Why did they need IV’s?

I have no clue. However IV’s are the widely provided treatment. There were patients all over, in beds, in hallways, outside in down jackets in chairs and some kind of chaise lounges and yes, in automobiles in parking lots. Patients are lined up in endless lines at the “Fever Centers”

I’m an observer of You Tube videos many of which seemingly have no agenda. I presented a factual finding of my observations

You and yours mini dukes are the so called experts in this fiasco. I think we should send you and Fauci to help them out.

it would be more useful to send you and the rest of the anti-vaxxer conspircy crowd to China so you guys can explain to the Chinese how COVID is just a scam perpetrated by Bill Gates and the World Economic Forum. I’m sure they will be most grateful once you explain how they are just imagining all these illnesses and deaths.

I call BS. This is some kind of scam, the same as it was in late 2019 / early 2020. None of this actually happened anywhere, and the media played along with it trying to tell us that it did happen and that we needed to be locked down and wear masks. Don’t let them play you again, give you a vaccine, or make you wear a mask. I didn’t and I won’t. Yeah, the virus thing is out there, but it’s not killing everyone. It seems the “vaccine” is more dangerous. We’ve all had the Wuhan virus, and it was nothing more than a cold for most people, and even those with “long COVID” who got it in 2020 or 2021 seem to be recovered by now from my anecdotal evidence.
