Something Really Strange Is Happening At Hospitals All Over America
“The Most Important News” and NPR ^ | 11/2/21 | Michael Snyder

Posted on 11/04/2021 2:18:15 AM PDT by ReaganGeneration2

In a year that has been filled with so many mysteries already, I have another very odd one to share with you. Emergency rooms are filled to overflowing all over America, and nobody can seem to explain why this is happening. Right now, the number of new COVID cases in the United States each day is less than half of what it was just a couple of months ago. That is really good news, and many believe that this is a sign that the pandemic is fading. Let us hope that is true. With less people catching the virus, you would think that would mean that our emergency rooms should be emptying out, but the opposite is actually happening. All across the country, emergency rooms are absolutely packed, and in many cases we are seeing seriously ill patients being cared for in the hallways because all of the ER rooms are already full.

Let me give you an example of what I am talking about. The following comes from an article entitled “ERs Are Swamped With Seriously Ill Patients, Although Many Don’t Have Covid”…

‘Inside the emergency department at Sparrow Hospital in Lansing, Michigan, staff members are struggling to care for patients showing up much sicker than they’ve ever seen.

‘Tiffani Dusang, the ER’s nursing director, practically vibrates with pent-up anxiety, looking at patients lying on a long line of stretchers pushed up against the beige walls of the hospital hallways. “It’s hard to watch,” she said in a warm Texas twang.

‘But there’s nothing she can do. The ER’s 72 rooms are already filled.’

Can anyone explain why this is happening?

If the number of COVID cases was starting to spike again, it would make sense for emergency rooms to be overflowing...

You would be incorrect. Hospitals eat about 60% of those costs. Operating margins are not 60%.

I wonder if the supply is still limited and/or the price is too much.

I already had a bunch of N95’s left over from Sars-1, and also bought more due to lots of smoke in our area a few years ago. And I bought a few more (20?) in Feb. 2020 with the first reports from China.

I sent my kids and siblings and a cousin a bunch of N95’s, gloves, wipes, etc. when they were not prepared. (Actually, my kids on my warnings had scored some N95’s and stuff as well).

My siblings in the past thought I was a bit crazy for prepping. Not so much in the spring of 2020 when I was able to send them stuff.

Of course, now they think I’m crazy for not getting vaxxed!

My siblings that is. My kids all came to their own conclusions to be careful - but to avoid the vaccines. So far, so good. Although my son did have a serious case of Covid (complicated by asthma?) but did survive - although it was touch and go for a several days.

Just wait until they start jabbing kids! Just say NO!

They already are. This is another reason I'm glad that I don't want kids.

A million plus illegals having crossed the boarder this year doesn’t help. Tens of thousands with covid and other 3rd world diseases.

Your wife is an angel. Tell her to try manuka honey. I had to use it for a rattlesnake bite on a cat and it is amazing stuff.

I’d be willing to bet a large number of these patients are illegals with no other outlet for treatment of minor afflictions. Interesting that this seems to coincide with the mass importation of the poor from the southern border…

ER’s are full of illegal immigrants with no doctor and no insurance. if you go for a real emergency make sure you’re bleeding or they’ll just set you aside. A little screaming might help too. It’s been like that long before COVID. I went in with a broken leg in 2017, I wasn’t bleeding so they left me on a stretcher in the hall for 10 hours while they treated the illegal aliens. They operated on my leg every day for 5 days before they cut it off because it had lost circulation while I was laying in the hallway. Don’t go to the ER unless you are bleeding and dying. If I’d have went to my doctors office and waited there I’d still have my leg. Illegals have made the emergency rooms a bad sick joke.

A fantastic doctor once told me that holding the wound under running water, like a bathtub faucet, for about 15 min or as long as possible, twice a day if possible, will often facilitate healing.

Also, look into comfrey. It has amazing healing properties. I can vouch for it.

There is no logical reason to think that this part of the supply chain of life is immune to the unexpected, unexplainable issues that the rest of our society is having. Short version - take the Biden approach; Blane Trump, Appoint Harris to be in charge of it, and take a nap before ice cream.

My mother just spent a month in the Hospital. I was there every other day or so and casually talked to many different nurses. Here is what they consistently told me. As always, subject to change and things may be different elsewhere.

1) Nurses consider masks mostly effective for preventing the wearer from contaminating others with bacteria and for capturing any sneeze/cough droplets. Masks will not protect you from others. In ICU, I wore and N95 mask and full body cover to protect my mother from me.

2) The COVID ward at the hospital was near full, but not overflowing. This was in September, peak wave here in flyover. They said it was rare to see a vaccinated individual in the ward and when they did, there were severe comorbidities.

3) Vaccinated staff that had breakthrough infections barely got the sniffles. Some didn’t know they were infected until tested. They were concerned about this in the sense the vaccine doesn’t prevent infection, but minimizes symptoms enough that people won’t be sick enough to even know they are infected and will increase spread.

This info is straight from the nurses in ICU. Your mileage may vary.

“manuka honey”

Yes, this!!! I’d forgotten about this. This stuff is like magic. A friend burned her hand badly on an electric oven coil, spread some manuka honey on it, wrapped it, and not only was there little pain, it healed in about a day. Thanks for the reminder. This should be in every first aid kid. Also meat tenderizer for bug bites.

——The second topic being brought up is something referred to as a ‘super-cold’——

Interesting......... can you expand on the thought?

My wife has a “sinus” condition with chest condition that won’t go away

“Or people have delayed care for almost 2 years because they are afraid to go to the hospital and catch covid”

Most likely. The rest of tge speculation here is from people who don’t work in hospitals they don’t see what they’re talking about.

I can second the manuka honey! My dog was bitten by a copperhead a few years ago and he wasn’t doing well (even after the vet trip) - we put a paste made of manuka honey, coconut oil and tumeric on the wound and it healed up quickly after that.

I also take manuka for reflux. I used to have it bad and was on acid reducers, a friend suggested manuka and I was able to come off the meds. I use it now anytime I feel a little reflux and it stops it. I can’t eat any other kind of honey due to IBS, but manuka doesn’t bother me for whatever reason

Well, I would think that if anyone would benefit from the use of N95s it would be healthcare workers and their patients.

Especially since we have no idea whether or not nosocomial CoupFlu infections are an issue.

And why do you suppose that is, the utter lack of curiosity about nosocomial infections on the part of so-called public health, Big Med, Deep State, the enemedia...

Is there a problem in our hospitals?

Inquiring minds want to know.

“Ockham’s Razor: it’s the vaxxines.”

Yes. I read today somewhere that 80% of the hospital cases of Covid are fully vaccinated.

It is also said by many doctor’s groups that the mRNA “vaccine” (injection) weakens the immune system.
