Likewise in Australia. Although given the nursing staff cuts, ADE and mandates, I would actually expect the hospitals to be running at higher capacity than the previous years. During 2020/21 as someone earlier mentioned, the hospitals were not over extended, despite pandemic declarations.

Interestingly, the EMS crews are reporting massive increases, especially on top of lower staff levels due to mandates. So it seems that here, we have lower capacity in hospitals, because people aren't staying- they are DOA or coding in the ER, hence higher bed availability. 🤔😐

During the height of Covid in 2020 and into 2021, a couple of buddies and family members ended up in the hospital for unrelated issues. All four of them said while roaming the grounds said they were empty. No sense of emergency or crowdedness. Which is unusual in Canada.

Is it just me, or do blue states tend to be pushing panic reports of “ full hospitals” more than red ones?

I predicted 2.5 yrs ago that kids would suffer when good old head colds etc would become popular again, with their immune systems unprimed due to lockdowns etc. No doubt the sudden shortage of pediatric medications was and is another contrived scam to fill hospitals vs staying in a bed with the use of TLC and kids’ cold remedies. Those evil godless bastards in fascist governments who pretend to care! Hang Trudeau and the rest!

Oh no! Your wrong! It’s because masks were so effective at keeping them healthy! (A teacher friend’s quote.)

Teachers and nurses. Sorry, no intent to offend good oath-holding members, but here are 2 groups which over the years revealed to me this: a bit of information is a dangerous thing.

Throw in the powermongers in HR. The little office nobody wants to end up in.
