We have so many seriously ill Covid patients that we closed down our specialty Covid ward for lack of patients.
The hospitals reaching capacity agenda MSM story push is the result of two factors - hospitals not adding needed capacity for many years and lack of staffing from hospitals because of the financial crunch caused by the Covid panic plus mandated elective surgery clampdowns.
Look up statistics on various states for hospital bed per 1000 population from 200, 2010, 2015, 2020 and you will see the decline. We have had a bed availability crunch long during December through February long before Covid hit
What is the "excess mortality" talking point that the left always spews in order to deboonk? I havent looked into it because I'm sure its bullshit anyway
I've tried figuring this out and determined OP's citing provisional death counts, which is a slower counting method relying on physical death certificates. It takes time for it to be fully updated, the site says usually increases by 25%. I'm guessing if you compare weekly death rates by year the earlier weeks in the pandemic are significantly higher than previous years. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm
If you export the raw data in the excess mortality page and add up all the weeks I get 3,022,186 deaths so far in 2020.
So in my view there are definitely excess deaths but the amount attributed to COVID is overstated and the amount due to the shutdowns (unemployment, no elective surgeries, drug abuse, etc) is understated.

People are saying that the CDC numbers start on Feb 1, so this represents 92% of 2020.
this is a excellent redpill thank you!

The "excess mortality" figures come in quicker and do show we are up a good amount of deaths this year. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/index.htm#S2

Excess mortality over WHAT? Last I read the baseline set by CDC for "expected deaths" this year are mysteriously at levels from over three yrs ago.
