The reporters are complicit in the lies. I’m not surprised they didn’t challenge JBE

671 icu beds available .. just saying.

If you need a bed there's a bed "somewhere". Two of our nursing home residents needed a bed that we couldn't accomodate and they ended up a couple of hours from their family BUT they had a bed. Not ideal, BUT they had a bed where their needs could be addressed.

They don’t even need facts in hand. Just question the garbage these people spew.

During late Spring St.Tammany in Covington was sending people home because there were no people in it.

Thanks for clarification. Using those numbers there are 6.7 covid patients per hospital.

You won’t get reasoning from him.

He’s like the ESPN reporter who only said an empty “frick you” to the US senator regarding social justice in the NBA rather than provide logic

I’m not sure how it all works. But I had aN outpatient procedure yesterday where I had to wait it out in my own room for 3 hours afterwards. Only a couple beds in that whole wing were in use.. I understand they have to separate Covid cases but logistically it seemed they had room if they wanted for more beds..

Yeah, that false statement stood out to me when she said it. You can say you are concerned about the hospital increases but she should be called to task for lying.

Out of the last 40 covid tests we have run, 8 were positive. The vast majority of people being tested ate coming into the ER.

Coming to the ER, testing positive and being admitted? What can they do besides oxygen and a vent if it's really bad? I guess I'm just wondering are there some in a hospital bed that really could be at home? IDK and I'm not suggesting a conspiracy -- I want to know how they're being treated.

Hospitals have an allotted number of covid beds. Thus the total number of hospital beds doesn’t equal beds available for covid patients. If hospitals need more covid beds they can easily open more beds. I’m so sick of political drama statistics.

You expect the mainstream media to challenge a Democratic official on something?

65.9% was the national hospital occupancy in 2017

Today Louisiana is at 62.7%. WHY is "he" freaking out??
