Exactly.

Anyone with any affiliation to this hospital system, to verify any of this?

Reminds me of the Brazil hospital lies/fear.

People busted in, to confirm the terrible numbers being put out, by the hospital....only to find.....MOSTLY empty beds on just about EVERY level.

They freaked out a couple of weeks ago because “cases were increasing” so they are requiring masks in stores and other places. They ramped up testing here in Utah, that’s why the cases are up, but deaths are down!

This entire thing stinks of fraud!

Gov. Herbert is a wuss of the first order! Waiting for this Asswipe to shut the state down again!

SLC is a Liberal Cesspool!

I need to go down to the SLC VA for most of the things I need, was there two weeks ago after having not being able to see anybody in person since last May.

The resident I saw from the U of U medical center mentioned they where swamped with new patients...

“I’m in Utah, and between me and mine there are twenty of us working in the med field here in one capacity of the other. This is a complete lie. There is no “expectation”; there is the same preparation we’ve always had. I can name more than a few folks that are beyond angry at this reporting as they’re scared it’s going to lead to more layoffs and deaths when people — again! — stop seeking medical care out of fear.”

Many thanks for the on-the-ground report!!

The retiring Gov of UT (Herbert) sounds like a RINO.

The Replican running against a Dem, for Gov (Lt Gov Cox) also sounds like somewhat of a RINO.

Anyone here know about these two?

They’re only doing this for two weeks.

Wait til they try 9 months

That’ll be something

Oh wait...

Thanks for your personal/on the ground report.

Is your current Gov Herbert a total RINO??

Is he likely in on this BS lie?

“ Someone is paying those people to drive up in their vehicles by the hundreds to be tested!! “

Maybe that ‘someone’ is the same guy that paid the Sandy Hook parents to make believe their kids had been shot dead?

Perhaps they are having retribution exacted upon them for electing that worthless scumbag Romney.

I have an idea. Stop elective surgeries. Then you can turn your pre op and PACU areas into ICUs. You can also ship your overflow pts to colorado We have plenty of room. You can also have your national guard set up field hospitals but they have never been used in places they were set up before. In other words do a little planning and stop pushing the panic buttons

They’re not journalists.
They are POS traitors and I narrowed it down to 3 or 4 outlets who posted this before I even looked.

Those ####s.

I am shocked. The Mormon people I have known were clean, liked to hunt and fish, and seemed pretty conservative.

Hospitals are institution that change at a snails pace. Internal bureaucratic inertia and turf wars. Regulatory obstacles. Healthcare organizations have had seven months to ramp up and get their bed allocation, skill mix and material management in order. I doubt many facilities have changed their ways except to learn how to upgrade their coding practices to claim federal covid funding.

That’s probably mostly true, but SLC specifically, is very liberal. The Salt Lake Tribune and Deseret News are both liberal rags!

“El Paso is locking down as a final push to scare off voters.”

_____

That’ll likely backfire as dems will be scared away in greater numbers. Look at the rallies. Trump supporters are not afraid to mass.
