Frankly this should be no surprise - that its happening (because we lost control when we made ERs "free"), but I am surprised it's being reported (it doesn't follow the COVID narrative). COVID related because non-emergencies are overwhelming the hospital & staff.

A ton of people don't have PCPs -- and that's including a ton of people WITH insurance.

The ones that do, any appointment will likely be a week+ out.

Many families supplement this simply by going to urgent care clinics and the ER depending on their insurance situation.

Additionally doctors do not want Covid patients in their offices.

Non-emergencies have always been around. Covid hasn't.

Alex Berenson went on Clay and Buck conservative podcast and said the media is lying about no icu beds bc of unvaccinated.

Is it possible that there is artificially not enough "beds" ? like is one wing or floor closed so the half that's open is "full"

I went to Papacito's and we had to wait 45 minutes for a table Sunday afternoon. The restaurant felt full bc all the tables had customers but the tables are much more spaced apart now (maybe some tables were taken out last year for social distancing). pre pandemic the restaurant capacity was much higher so the illusion is a busy full restaurant .

Can a hospital administration set up a full capacity by closing a wing or floor off due to "staffing" or "scheduling" and report no beds and unvaccinated are overrunning . and the Logical conclusion is Get Vaccinated Everybody

I love how "staffing" is in quotes. Tell you what, next time you're in the hospital ask for an unstaffed bed and see how like your medical care

It's a conspiracy and every hospital is in on it.

I heard the Pappas family has been meeting with hospital administrations showing them how to make it look like their establishment is busy and overcrowded.
