I’m at the hospital a lot for work. At varying times. It’s always a ghost town. If anything it is LESS busy than normal because people are afraid of catching the Coof there.
Any time a hospital starts crying about how their ICU is nearing capacity, ask whoever you’re talking to for data from any given time pre-scamdemic and compare it. Hospitals are businesses at the end of the day. They charge insurance providers a lot more if someone needs intensive care. They always keep their ICU’s close to capacity.
In my area in eastern TN our only two healthcare systems merged. Wellmont Health merged with Mountain State Health Alliance to form Ballad Health. They pressured the local officials to obtain a COPA to avoid being called a monopoly. So now they get on the news and say “We have over 100 people in ICU beds!”
Okay that sounds like a lot, right? Well what they are leaving out is that Ballad is over every hospital encompassing a vast region of Tennessee and parts of Virginia
