I went to the ER in my town for an injury and there was one other patient with a broken leg. Other than that it was a ghost town. This was actually at the height of the so called pandemic. Covid is a scam.
I spent 5 days in an ICU in San Francisco in June because of a random heart problem. I was in a COVID equipped room but there were no COVID patients in the entire unit. Supposedly there was another ICU that had COVID patients that wasn't full yet. The nurses all wore masks but didn't make me wear one except when going to other floors for tests. They were mainly just happy to have a patient that was conscious for a change. I was the first patient one of the nurses had ever discharged from there...
I’m in NYC. This guy is full of shit. I’ll also add: he has been screaming about a second wave since the start of the first wave. If the hospitals are now over capacity, why didn’t he do more in the last 8 months to ensure they would have added capacity?
Maybe the time he spent writing his book about how awesome he was during Covid would have been better spent hardening hospitals.
Good thing he got an Emmy for all his amazing press conferences.
They aren't, they made a new metric, 'covid capacity', they designate a few rooms covid rooms, then they are easily over 'covid capacity' vs the total capacity they used in the spring.
I’m just learning about this now. Total clown world.
It makes sense - there were ~20k Covid patients in the Spring and the hospitals didn’t break. Today, there’s a fraction of that and the hospitals are “over capacity.”
Same for the ICUs. X number of beds are reserved for Covid pts. When those beds are taken or close to being full, the narrative tends to be that ICUs are at full capacity. And when your hospital is as small as the one I work at with a 6 bed ICU it can be at full capacity on any given day with or without Covid.
^THIS. Hospital ICUs normally operate at 90-95% capacity.
People are intentionally conflating ER ICUs, Surgery Recovery ICUs that are converted for Covid patients, and total hospital beds/ mass casualty + equipment capacity, as well as hospital census capacity, current census, and projected cases/hospitalizations ratio.
The simple version is this:
Cases are going up because of massive amounts of testing (and multiplying single cases by each positive result of multiple test regimines), as well as loosened definitions of what qualifies as a case. Most of these people are asymptomatic— they never even get sick.
Hospitilizations are going up primarily because of asymptomatic patients testing positive while in hospital to undergo other procedures.
Muh overflowing capacity is created by calculating the presumed number of hospitalizations estimated by multiplying the inflated case numbers against the ratio from earlier in the year (when it was much higher because only seriously sick people were getting tested), and ignoring the fact that cures now exist.
Hospitals are stopping elective procedures because they are typically converting OR recovery wards (where thousands of patients pass through 50 or so beds during their 1-4 day recovery process from surgery) into Covid-only wards. They are doing this because Covid patients take up that bed for 4 weeks instead of 4 days, so only 50 patients take up the same 50 beds instead of thousands.
THIS DOES NOT REPRESENT HUGE INCREASES IN THE NUMBERS OF COVID PATIENTS, IT MEANS THAT THERE ARE TOO FEW COVID PATIENTS TO JUSTIFY BUILDING OUT NEW WARDS, UP-CONVERTING OTHER AREAS, OR BRINGING IN NEW FACILITIES SUCH AS HOSPITAL SHIPS.
This is the guy whose toadies wiped the Dept. of Health site of his murderous orders to put recovering KungFlu patients in nursing homes. If he or his brother Fredo told me the sky was blue I'd look outside.
Remember when they used footage from a hospital in Italy and tried to pass it off as an American hospital? Then they got caught, but did the exact same thing a week or two later?
Yep, this is the same bullshit that they have been floating out there from the start. Their useful idiots believe every word unquestioningly, of course. Meanwhile hospitals have gone laid off staff and gone bankrupt. My wife works at a hospital by the way.
Like Oregon's Brown claiming nurses are exhausted and hospitals are overwhelmed... guy I know has a sister working in OHSU, she said they have a total of 15 people for covid and most of them not serious. She has no idea why they keep pulling out these lies (we do).
Oregonpede here. My wife works at a hospital and we know many other medical professionals throughout the state. They are all more concerned about being laid off than they are about being overworked.
Hospitals run at near capacity in order to make money. Somewhere around 75% of all admittances are for elective surgery, meaning their admittance can be canceled the day before the procedure. They are also usually released within a day or two.
Thus, in reality the hospital is only running around 15%-25% capacity of people you can’t move and are there for unplanned reasons.
I’m outside Nyc. My son had surgery in Baltimore in early April, at the height and it was really the best surgery we’ve had. No crowds, everyone in private room and the nurses didn’t care about masks. My RINO mayor is pushing masks and curfews (wtf!?) and when I pressure him on social media he just deletes! Total cuck!
I remember a story from maybe 2 weeks ago that reported the same thing about a Canadian hospital. A woman drove to the hospital and took video. Both the building and the parking lot were empty.
Yes and if they were telling the truth Florida would have been over run weeks if not months ago, but it hasn't. They're operating on fear and using bad numbers to try and make it spread.
Same thing here when they were saying Arizona hospitals were at capacity. I was literally in an ER with 3 people total. Rest of the entire floor had only staff, no patients.
Cuomo is of the devil...everything he says is a lie...the devil only comes to kill, steal and destroy...with all this election rigging going on I suspect I know how he got elected....
Worked in hospitals most of my life, winter is always crunch time. Little old people have a heart attack or stroke out shoveling snow more often then you would like to think about. Add to that people slipping on ice, then flu and pneumonia.
Even during the height of the first wave, I remember some ER doctors I used to work with told me that they were seeing a lot fewer patients than usual and that their hospital had slowed down quite a bit. The data shows that more and more people who are having actual emergencies AREN'T showing up.
If hospitals were truly being overloaded like the media portrayed, why were the hospital ships sent to NYC or LA hardly ever used?
I work a hospital, and I get this call from wife saying governor Michelle Lujan Grisham just did a press conference and published something on her COVID website saying that we only had one open bed in the whole hospital. Wasn't the case at all.
Guess that asshole Cuomo would go back to putting Covid patients in nursing homes if it were true. He's a known liar. Must be hard to live in the rest of New York and having your lives controlled by the leftists in NYC.
He's moving the goalposts again, going from cases to hospital capacity as the criteria for more lockdowns.
We were locked down all through April and that was the big case spike.
I go out and do things, people are staying home in large numbers, places that should normally be crowded are not. Doesn't matter yellow zone, orange zone, just regular twilight zone.
Make a vid and post it
This.
Project Veritas the hospitals.
Newsom pushing the same lie in CA. It’s coordinated I tell you.
Just like the election fraud. Highly coordinated
Montana too.
14 faggots riding O'keefe's dick.
I went to the ER in my town for an injury and there was one other patient with a broken leg. Other than that it was a ghost town. This was actually at the height of the so called pandemic. Covid is a scam.
Nah bro, the height is always tomorrow.
2 MORE WEEKS!!!!!!!!
Cases have been spiking for 8 months, we're all going to be rushing the hospitals at once!
Same. Cut my finger and needed 8 stitches. This was the night of Saturday July 4th. Nobody was in the ER. I had my stitches and walked out in an hour.
While I appreciate these anecdotes... that is all they are, anecdotes. Just as the claims that they are over capacity.
Also, ICU is not ER. So, you not seeing people in the ER, is kinda meaningless.
ICU is ALWAYS near or at least 80% of capacity.
I spent 5 days in an ICU in San Francisco in June because of a random heart problem. I was in a COVID equipped room but there were no COVID patients in the entire unit. Supposedly there was another ICU that had COVID patients that wasn't full yet. The nurses all wore masks but didn't make me wear one except when going to other floors for tests.

Here's NY's hospitalized rona patients. https://forward.ny.gov/daily-hospitalization-summary-region currently at 18.7% of peak FUCK OFF, CUOMO

Holy hell, I feel like I’m living in a comedy.

Tragic comedy, anon.
I'm with you, pede
I live a few blocks from one looks like it always does, bums and mentally ill people screaming outside.
don't forget his extremely committed dead voters
But.. hospitals WANT to run at capacity. How else do they make money?
Like a restaurant, you don't keep a bunch of tables open 'just in in case', you fill those tables as much as you can.

But who will cover his brothers perp walk?
the donald!
Rally, Ho!
They want to panic people about Covid to draw attention away from the election fraud
Remember when they used footage from a hospital in Italy and tried to pass it off as an American hospital? Then they got caught, but did the exact same thing a week or two later?
I member.
Yep, this is the same bullshit that they have been floating out there from the start. Their useful idiots believe every word unquestioningly, of course. Meanwhile hospitals have gone laid off staff and gone bankrupt. My wife works at a hospital by the way.
Maybe he shouldn't have closed the overflow sites before they saw a single patient?
Cuomo is a big fat liar
wait they were in the street partying and drinking from the same bottle?! fuck this bitch people need to stand the fuck up!
Like Oregon's Brown claiming nurses are exhausted and hospitals are overwhelmed... guy I know has a sister working in OHSU, she said they have a total of 15 people for covid and most of them not serious. She has no idea why they keep pulling out these lies (we do).
Oregonpede here. My wife works at a hospital and we know many other medical professionals throughout the state. They are all more concerned about being laid off than they are about being overworked.
All hospitals are operating at close to capacity all the time. If they don't they die. STFU
That is exactly what they are doing.
Here is how you lie while telling the truth:
Hospitals run at near capacity in order to make money. Somewhere around 75% of all admittances are for elective surgery, meaning their admittance can be canceled the day before the procedure. They are also usually released within a day or two.
Thus, in reality the hospital is only running around 15%-25% capacity of people you can’t move and are there for unplanned reasons.
Cuomo is getting ready to kill another couple thousand. The first step is to claim the hospitals are overwhelmed so there's no accountability.
This man needs to hang
I agree. He’s reviled here. I’d love nothing more than to see his squirming body at the end of a rope.
Our hospital has one wing on one floor dedicated to COVID. COVID patients are not filling up total capacity. They are isolated.
I’m outside Nyc. My son had surgery in Baltimore in early April, at the height and it was really the best surgery we’ve had. No crowds, everyone in private room and the nurses didn’t care about masks. My RINO mayor is pushing masks and curfews (wtf!?) and when I pressure him on social media he just deletes! Total cuck!

Complete farce.

Just to point out over and over... ER is NOT the ICU.
Not saying the hospitals aren't lying, but that yours is an inaccurate anecdote.
They probably closed half their capacity down to "mitigate" the virus and then they can claim they're over capacity. Scam flu is all about the scam.
Across the state we are using ~5% of our total available capacity for COVID related cases. Even in April we were only at ~30%.
why is he not tarred and feathered and put in the stocks. There was a certain appeal to some old time punishments.
Cuomo is of the devil...everything he says is a lie...the devil only comes to kill, steal and destroy...with all this election rigging going on I suspect I know how he got elected....
My wife works in a hospital too. they are near capacity where we are but not for covid.
Worked in hospitals most of my life, winter is always crunch time. Little old people have a heart attack or stroke out shoveling snow more often then you would like to think about. Add to that people slipping on ice, then flu and pneumonia.
exactly
I guess I forgot to mention black ice and people who don't know how to drive in snow and ice.
This idiot does realize that anyone can walk into a hospital and livestream it, right?
What were those hospitals at before Covid? Hospitals are businesses. They always run near capacity.
Even during the height of the first wave, I remember some ER doctors I used to work with told me that they were seeing a lot fewer patients than usual and that their hospital had slowed down quite a bit. The data shows that more and more people who are having actual emergencies AREN'T showing up.
If hospitals were truly being overloaded like the media portrayed, why were the hospital ships sent to NYC or LA hardly ever used?

Capacity based on staff levels.
If they were really at capacity they would be putting up field hospitals.
Guess that asshole Cuomo would go back to putting Covid patients in nursing homes if it were true. He's a known liar. Must be hard to live in the rest of New York and having your lives controlled by the leftists in NYC.
Good for you for trying to get out the truth.
He's moving the goalposts again, going from cases to hospital capacity as the criteria for more lockdowns.

I go out and do things, people are staying home in large numbers, places that should normally be crowded are not. Doesn't matter yellow zone, orange zone, just regular twilight zone.
Be nice if he'd go to prison from all this mess.
So is he going to start putting covid cases in nursing homes again?
Must keep the fear
Hospitals run near capacity all the time. It's normal. Why have extra space that is unused, it's a waste of money
They are though, almost at 90% capacity of "available" Covid beds.
They could just open one of the 10 closed wings but nah...Privately owned and stuff.
And if they have capacity then it ought to be regular illnesses that are branded "in connection with COVID".
