Not that anyone needed to be reminded that the media distorts reality, but this one bothers me every time I hear it.

I agree. A hospital is a business. Doctors and nurses are not just hired and staffed to sit and look at empty beds.
When some governors stopped doing elective survives, those departments closed and people were laid off. Once again, a business.
Nurses I know see the worst covid cases and have been the biggest spreaders of fear. They are complaining they aren’t on the Time cover as persons of the year.
The nurses I know always think they know better than the doctors and are petty gossips
Every nurse you know is smarter than every doctor they have worked with.
In their own minds.
I have 2 sisters who are nurses and both confirm that the industry is filled with drama mommas trying to cash in on the attention and the sympathy of a job they choose. Teachers are the next worst right now.
Not a single nurse I know has even seen a COVID patient, but that doesn't stop some of them from larping as overworked, heroic COVID slayers on social media, spreading the Branch Covidian propaganda.
Muh front lines
99% of these nurses and doctors are treasonous sacks of shit. even the 'trump supporting' nurses and doctors are doing nothing but being a cuck and standing in the corner and simply watching fauci and gates and the globalists ass-rape us
I guess you would be trying to put me and thousands like me in that 99%. But guess who saves you when that young intern orders the wrong dose, or a doc doesn't know how to run a code, or I could go on....... Nurses are the backbone of health CARE. And as in any group of workers there are good and bad, left, middle and right politically, but to describe as all was treasonous sacks of shit is pathetic. Seems that people on TDW no longer just want to support POTUS but want to divide us. There are evil forces at work here, and its not the nurses you all should be worried about.
I for one believe nurses are often the backbone of the hospital. Definitely the interns should not be allowed to call themselves doctors because they are worse than useless.
Excellent observation. It would appear half of nursing is just gossiping at the nursing station about wine, vibrators, and the cute new intern.
Oingoboingo! Sup fren
Dude I have been laughing about that shit all day!
Practicing for their tic-toc dance routines for 8 hours a day is exhausting!
Dedicated COVID units are actually a lot of work for nurses because of the retarded PPE requirements.
Right, lots of jobs are shitty in their own way.
Nurses have to deal with c-diff infected lava shit coming out of their patients that gets so bad they have to put in a fecal management system. lol
Don't hate on nurses too hard, that's all i'm saying.
So does every mother. I really can't worship nurses, although they're necessary and good in their own right.
No, every mother does not have to deal with a highly infectious diarrhea. Look up C-Diff.
All part of the plan.
it happens almost every single year.
Just google it.
Replace flu with covid. The headlines write themselves!
We choose truth over facts.

I am an ICU nurse, my hospital has had a dedicated Covid ICU going since March that I spend most of my shifts in. In the beginning I definitely feel like they were admitting non-critical patients into the Covid ICU just for the money. The hospitals get paid thousands of dollars per Covid admit, so they were admitting anyone who showed slight possible symptoms of Covid. It was ridiculous. That's not really the case anymore though, because the beds are always full with actual sick people who need ventilators and rotoprone beds.
They are losing money. My wife was concerned about being laid off when they suspended all non-emergency visits at her hospital. The only reason it didn't happen is that the hospital had been doing so well financially prior to the scamdemic. They are still at low census even after opening back up though.
Yeah., hospitals are always "full" and shit tons of people die every day. Nothing new.
Bullshit. Nobody died before 2020. That's a solid fact. /s
Because most people don't KNOW hospitals MUST run at nearly-full capacity for their business model to work, it sounds alarming.
The MSM calls such things "low hanging fruit". Not a lie, just information presented in a way intended to mislead.
anyone saying that doesn't understand capitalism.
If there was a need, the private sector will expand.
Only the chinese build giant empty cities
Agreed, but the hospital administrations have fucked themselves. People are no longer getting surgeries or coming in when they normally would, so their income has dried up but they still have all their normal expenses. So they let people go...or just don’t fill positions. Then ask if nurses and other staff want to take unpaid days off. If you work in one unit, they’ll move you somewhere outside your area of expertise to deal with shortages somewhere else. Nurses that would normally have someone else take beds from one wing to theirs are now having to do it themselves. Same with wheelchairs, and moving patients from A to B. When they do get an influx of patients, they’re running around like chickens with their heads cut off.
This is the hotel if anyone's interested.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryugyong_Hotel
Word I've heard is that it's a deathtrap with severe structural problems.
I think the Norks do too. They have a huge (understatement) new hotel that's uninhabitable.
These hospitals are nowhere near capacity.
If one hospital is near capacity, check at the several other nearby. Guarantee they are like ghost towns in comparison to usual operations
https://protect-public.hhs.gov/pages/hospital-capacity#hospital-occupancy
Notice how they avoid ICU beds occupied by covid patients and that overall covid patients is relatively low compared to all patients..
I do now, hoax.
Exactly. They typically operate @ 85%-90% to be profitable. Standard operating procedure.
Happens every year during flu season
Didn't you hear? There is no flu this year!
The relatively busy ER at my local hospital has had less than five minute wait since the hoax got underway.
If they did not have to have staff members quarantine for 14 days (per cdc recommendations) every time they take a twice weekly test that has a 97% false positive rate (per portugal lawsuit) causing them to all significantly reduce their capacity, maybe they would not have that problem.
They would be near bankrupt if they weren't (i.e. it would be poor buisness)
Most hospitals are stressed, merely due to the fact they're trying to get caught up from shutting most depts down during the spring lockdown. It's not covid.
AND, most hospitals around the US put up a hiring freeze, so they're also understaffed because they did not replace those that transferred or left entirely.
You know shit is gettin' serious at your job when it starts cutting into your tik tok time.
I'm at the VA hospital currently. I was at the nurses station and heard an administrator saying to someone on a telephone call that they are almost out of beds. My doctor assured me more than once there aren't any covid patients admitted at this time. This is just standard ebb and flow.
Feel better soon!
Thanks fren!
Full hospitals are fake news.
Cuomo has tied shutdowns to the hospital capacity, if they go over a certain rate he does more insane lockdowns. Even though they had way more people in back in April.
As Savage pointed out the other night, the answer is not to lock people down but to add capacity. He had a National Guard leader email him and say that the extra capacity they set up in the spring, one was never used, one saw like 10% of it's capacity used. That tells you right there that the full hospitals thing is bullshit.
My sister is a 25 year hospital administrator.
Whwn they design and choose a location for a new hospital, its target is to sustain 82% to 87% occupancy.
Fucking lying media
Not only that, if utilization falls, they close parts of the hospitals. I've been in hospitals where they've closed entire wings.
Truth: hospitals don't make money if they are empty. They would rather be 90% full,
Our hospital has multiple empty wings.
They were sitting empty last March and April.
Besides, why use a hospital ship or the Javitz Center when you already have old folks homes to house the sick.
I'm in the industry. from December to March they are always packed
However, it is for different reason now, right? We know how to confirm AND we can treat. Death rate in GA (my state) is plummeting even as cases and hospitalizations increase.
My question is this: why weren't we ready 6 months later for this? When we "knew" it was coming.
Tests are way up. Casedemic/testdemic.
Estimated ifr is dropping too. Dry tinder gone. 2021 could, at this point, see below expected deaths.
Yes it kills people.
This data seems to differ. Maybe its local to you.

I work in a rural hospital. We all but shut down in the spring waiting for the pandemic surge that never came. We're back to some semblance of normal now albeit with restrictions (ppe, limited access, etc)
The difference now is the local metro hospitals that we would normally transfer patients to when outside our capabilities are full and not taking our patients. We still have space even with a large (mostly empty) area isolated for covid patients.
Where in April we were worried about staff getting laid off, now we're scrambling to find more staff in case we do actually see a surge.
^^This^^
Hospitals in my rural area are maxed out with COVID patients and running short on ventilators... Granted most of the COVID patients are COVID AND. (Heart disease, end stage renal failure, very elderly, chronic lung disease etc..) but yeah it’s real
I don't think they've recovered from everyone putting shit off for 9 months.
It's just something that sounds like an emergency that actually isn't. Same with stories about the rising cases of the China virus. Well we are testing more so duh. Or 40% of people believe the earth is flat! funny way of saying 60% think it's not. It's classic manipulation. I can't believe people still watch the news anyway. I can't remember the last time I went to a MSM news website or watched it on TV. Who the hell has cable or satellite anymore?
Yes exactly. The inner city hospitals are always at capacity. Even more so now because every single person is required to test so often at their jobs. They are at capacity because people who feel fine need to go to an infested hotspot to find out if they are sick!!! Honk Honk clown world.
It's almost invariably a lie though. Multiple times people have gone to hospitals where this is being reported, and they're a ghost town.
A brand new hospital near me has been empty and has become even emptier in the last year. It's all a psyop geared towards the smooth-brained population, which is the most of them. Even here there are way too many geniuses who still believe that there is a virus called "covid-19" citing chicoms and nih. It's a fucking disgrace.
This is true. Most hospital “go on divert” multiple times a year. (New patients are diverted to other hospitals.)
This is all part of their gaslighting campaign. They also impose restrictions on housing COVID cases to further limit the number of hospital beds available, thus enabling politicians and bureaucrats to claim that hospitals are exceeding their capacity for COVID patients. Everyone entering a hospital gets tested for COVID, and you become a "COVID patient" if you test positive regardless of why you went to the hospital in the first place.
My wife and many of my friends work at hospitals. Hospital census has been low throughout this scamdemic and they have been laying people off. One of the regional hospitals here filed for bankruptcy this year.
A well run hospital is ALWAYS almost at capacity.
Definitely because they've gotten told to do other jobs in the hospitals because there aren't enough patients. They either take time off or fill in with menial jobs
Classic example of yellow journalism. Technically correct statement. Nevertheless misleading and designed to inflame emotions. (Usually fear, with hate a close second.) Fuck yellow journalists.
They just know gullible morons will buy it. I’ve worked in the medical industry for 10 years and have worked at several different hospitals, they are ALWAYS at capacity. Always!! Very rarely would these hospitals have more than a few open beds
If no one stops to actually think about it, it's easy to see why they would. These people don't expect us to actually process information and think things through, though.
Correct, the year I spent in and out of hospitals with my dad while he was getting chemotherapy, they always had to call ahead and see what hospital had a bed available.
I remember NY getting a navy hospital ship to increase capacity this spring. Whether their current capacity is close to full, is not relevant without considering available spare capacity.
And the army proved they can expand capacity to meet any demand in a matter of days. Capacity is not a problem
State health regs have capacity requirements that have to be met before new hospital facilities can get approval to be constructed...Also if a hospital is not running near capacity...people should be getting fired
Work in a hospital, can confirm.
that goes double for intensive care, that shit's expensive.
"Hospitals are almost at capacity" is on most people's 2020 bingo games for when the talking heads open their mouths.
Thank you! They are SUPPOSED to be almost at capacity. It's how they stay in business, FFS.
What’s really funny is the horrific surge in cases in my union facility right around Christmas time. We haven’t had this many vacancies all year... fucking faggots.
In Canada, thanks to socialised medicine, hallway medicine was the nom - criminal and disgusting but it was the norm in many cities. Now it's not and they claim they are at near capacity - so you're telling me hospitals are operating way below normal capacity during a pandemic?
