They’re definitely doing all they can to inflate death numbers and call anything they can a Covid death.

We heard something like that. My wife and I just looked at each other in disbelief.

They may have said: "if they cannot get the heart started" in the field they will not bring them to hospital.

Anxious to read what others heard. It was a quick statement and just like that -poof- it was gone.

ETA-I believe you are correct. They will not continue CPR en route to ER. I could be wrong, and hope I am.

That's how it normally works except in special cases (under 18, hostile scene, etc.)

Yeah. They shouldn’t be.

Don’t ask a funeral home how they’re doing body removals.

Fox reported last night that EMTs have been told if they can't get a pulse in the ambulance not to bother coming to the hospitals, because they are so overloaded.

That’s not what they’re doing. They’re just trying to get tomorrow with the same number of EMTs that they have today.

No cpr. No ventilators. If you're aren't young and healthy you go directly to hospice. It's Italy.

I guess I assumed measures were continued en route to the hospital. I guess I’ve watched too much tv.

808bass this is just bizarro world. That’s all I can say. It’s like the twilight zone mixed with some even weirder shite.

Huge insult to healthcare workers suggesting large swaths of us would let people die just to try and get Trump out of office.

I doubt he means healthcare workers but those managing states and giving these directives.

I heard rumors that they're raiding graveyards and taking the bodies to local hospitals and putting them in the Covid death pile

I know you live in some sort of alternate 4chan reality, but please don't insult people risking their own lives to try and save as many people as they can.

Thanks for the info. Wonder why this is news then?

I work in hospital as clinical pharmacist. Work takes me to ER but I have no knowledge of what happens before we get patients on site.
