Not overwhelmed by Covid patients. Mid December to late Feb is always busy for hospitals, and a lot are understaffed because of payroll cuts due to loss of elective procedures.
Your post said Hospitals - plural, which is what I am referring to, not that particular video.
As for the video - Obviously, these people aren't overwhelmed and have time to kill.
It looks like a lot of admin people (with a half dozen physical therapists and maybe a few nurses) which aren't directly involved in patient care and usually have good staffing. It's also during the day - which normally has more people. The lower night shift staffing is what limits how many patients you can admit to the hospital, and where the real staffing crunch is for many hospitals.
We were told "FLATTEN THE CURVE" because hospitals would be completely overwhelmed by COVID patients. That has never been the case,
It isn't the case now for many hospitals. As for "never", that's incorrect. We took the overflow from several smaller hospitals when they were overwhelmed during the initial peak of Covid.
In fact, we took in 2 covid patients last night from hospitals that didn't have any more capacity. They aren't full because of covid patients, but just because of a lot of sick people at this time of year.
I'm not missing any points here. I'm telling you how it is. (from a regional perspective). The "flatten the curve" idea was OK for the first month or two when no one had any idea of severity or spread rate. Once we knew, the flatten the curve philosophy wasn't helping anything. A lot of people died because they didn't seek medical attention due to fear of Covid. A lot of people attempted suicides and stopped taking needed medications (like blood pressure and diabetic meds) because they were too afraid to go to their doctor to get refills. I know because I saw a lot of these patients when their health took a serious turn for the worse.
The whole lockdown mentality needs to end now.
Obviously hospitals have plenty of staff
You don't know shit about this. Quit pretending you do. Some places are offering 15K a week to try and get staffing. It isn't because the CEOs like to spend money on payroll.
No one is whining about anything. I'm just giving you facts. If you don't like facts, you are probably trending leftist.
It's a fucking insult.
They are laughing right in our faces.
They must hang
I don’t just go around throwing out terms like “Hero”...but my god, to see so many stunning and brave people in one location. Heroes, the lot of them.
fuck all these "heroes" that don't come forward and tell the truth. Hospitals are not overwhelmed.
It’s not just the time in the front lawn dancing, but all the time they spent in the mirror practicing.
There is no overwhelmed hospital. Anywhere!
Hurry up and get your "shots"
