ICUs can be full of COVID patients, and hospitals can be losing money due to not being able to perform other work. The two are not mutually exclusive.

HIPAA now rivals "freedom of speech" in the realm of people having absofrickinglutely no idea what they are talking about when they say it.

True enough, but ICU’s are largely not full. I’m sure someone could find a link of a couple of hospitals in the country that are full, like they could at any other time. But to say that ICU’s are overflowing across the country and are turning away patients in just completely untrue.

And people who are conspiracy theorist and believe this whole thing are orchestrated are the absolute worst. Talk to hospital workers in Lafayette who are overwhelmed. This isn’t fake. I have a family member who is an icu nurse who told my elderly parents to not return home from visiting family in West Virginia because if they got sick they literally can’t care for them at the hospital. And for those of you who point to the fact that they can convert other beds to icu beds (which is already very concerning if you have to do this) that isn’t the whole issue. It’s that they now don’t have enough icu staff to care for the influx of patients. She is literally overwhelmed at work because of all the sick patients from this and then we have people saying it’s all a farce. Seriously, frick you.
lol dork. The hospitals even admitted the only reason the are full is because lack of staff.

From Honor codes press conference, OLOL say they are at capacity. Yet could fit hundreds more beds if they have staff. Meaning they aren't at capacity, they were somewhere in the 65% range of patients to bed. Just more agenda pushing.

If you falsely claim a medical condition to get out of wearing a mask, you're trashy.

No they didn't. They referenced one hospital in Lafayette.

From the tone of his post, it’s obvious he doesn’t think it’s just a problem unique to that hospital.

It's obvious from the content of the post that you were wrong about what was said.

If so, he would have been criticizing that particular hospital as poorly run rather than proclaiming people that think the coronavirus is overblown as “the absolute worst.”

You are nitpicking. He clearly thinks hospitals are overrun and people that think it’s overblown are the “absolute worst.” You and him can go mace people at the park without masks on together.

More of a joke than a personal attack. You have to have thick skin around here.

Agreed. Why should we have to follow the mask rules when BLM commies are having shoulder to shoulder dance parties in the streets. This was never about safety, it’s about control.



I will cover my nose and mouth just as much as Fauci did while not social distancing.

How is that any different than falsely claiming a bandanna is preventing people from spreading a virus they may or may not have that more than 99% of people survive with minimal to no problems?

I agree with you. I don’t want to wear a mask, but I’m not going to fake an illness to get my way. I have always despised people who would bring their pet chihuahua into a restaurant and say it’s a service animal.
I don’t want to eat around someone’s dog, but am fine with it if it really is a service animal because I know they are truly needed. This practice makes everyone skeptical.
