Shouldn't have fired all those nurses and doctors for not getting the vaccine..

7 million people in the state, and only 20,000 hospital beds. What could we have done without the CDC?

[madison10]

Exactly. So stupid. Promedica is adding to the problem this week.

[escapefromboston]

Maybe the FBI should fake another kidnapping to get people to feel bad for her.

[butlerweave]

Yep people get sick

She’s just itching to lock things down. Her socialist tyrant senses are tingling.

[MtnClimber]

Can they get McDonalds workers to do a second shift as nurses and doctors?

[antidemoncrat]

How long are voters going to support Governors like Halfwhitmer, de Blowsthehole and Gavin Nobrain?

[Vermont Lt]

85% of ICU beds are almost ALwAYS occupied. Hospitals were not built for pandemic level occupancy. These politicians are idiots.

[blackdog]

Once again, hospitals for dummies. The business model for hospitals is for outpatient services. There are very few beds for inpatient services at all. A few bad traffic accidents puts a hospital into a capacity issue.

[Veggie Todd]

If we would have been building roads, bridges, schools, and hospitals here instead of in countries that hate us.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer Faces Hospital Crisis: 85% of Inpatient and ICU Beds Occupied Statewide

Let's Go Brandon and Gretchen Whitmer!

[alternatives?]

Is this due to weakened immune systems caused by vaccinations?

[surroundedbyblue]

The larger question is are the actual beds full, or are the number of a oak le beds reduced because of staff?

The hospital where I work has a “full icu” but when I walked thru it there are entire wings shut down because there are no nurses to staff them.

We have 396 beds and our patient census is 270, but that’s considered “full” right now because we cannot staff the all the beds.

Big difference

[jimfree]

85 percent is a 15 percent vacancy rate. Sounds about right for sanitizing and turnover to me.

[ChildOfThe60s]

I guess the only solution is another lockdown

If what you’re doing isn’t working the solution is to do twice as much of it

[Frank Drebin]

More ridiculous fear mongering. A simple internet search will reveal that these occupation rates are actually quite typical, and yes, that includes pre-COVID “pandemic”. This is “news” for the lazy and the easily spooked.

Michigan State had a chunk of players out with COVID this week. Still won though.

[farming pharmer]

Ascension, a catholic based hospital, is not giving any religious exemptions for the COVID vaccine.

Should have known better when one of their administrative nurses was recommending the 'White Fragility' book. They're all a bunch of Obamarrhoids...

[wintertime]

Uh?....Isn’t 85% capacity economically optimal for the patient, insurance companies, hospitals, and the taxpayer citizen?
