My sister - who lives in Jacksonville, Florida - just texted me and said that her husband met with a neurosurgeon - he needs surgery, but he can't have it due to the "overwhelming" covid "inpatients". According to my sister, he will remain on crutches / wheelchair and in constant pain! These hospitals need to be held FINANCIALLY responsible for the pain and suffering they are causing regular patients due to their LIES!!

You might not want to hear this but I work for a small 175 bed hospital in Florida and we have 42 COVID patients today and they are really sick. Our entire hospital system is at peak with these patients. It is no joke. As if our clinicians arent already burnt out from this past year, they are now enduring another surge. The average age of these patients is 50.
Curious, bulk of the patients ages and vaccine status?
I was on a call with our corporate office yesterday where I was updated. The average age of patients this time around is 50. 90% of our hospitalized patients are unvaccinated. There has not been one death attributed to COVID for a patient who is vaccinated to date during this surge in our hospital system. Currently we have approximately 2000 patients diagnosed with COVID in our hospital system. Today I spoke with a nurse case manager in our hospital and she covers ICU where 11 COVID patients are on vents of the 41 currently hospitalized. There are patients who are in there 30's to 50's in this group. My friend's daughter just spent 30 days in a hospital for COVID where she was on a vent for 2 weeks. She is in her 30's but is overweight and diabetic.
Is this corporate office magically more honest with the numbers than every other authority that's been constantly lying to us for 18 months now?
I am so glad that you all are medical "experts". I am dealing with facts based on that every hospitalized COVID patient is surveyed regarding their vaccination status and this is where the real raw data comes from. I have first hand knowledge of the struggles the clinicians have regarding the management of these very sick patients with their unusual symptoms. I hear the multiple rapid response codes being called all day on the COVID floor where the medical teams fight to keep these patients off of ventilators. Yes, I said COVID floor, not unit. I have multiple friends who have had COVID includingnone who had 2 heart attacks because of the clotting that it causes not to mention thatI she still can't taste and has the smell of burning paper in her nose a year later. I have firsthand knowledge unlike most people on these message boards who get their "facts" from the opinions of others. I am neither for or against the vaccine. What I am for is the right for a person to make their own decision about it. Before you pretend to know what you are talking about, you should do some real research instead of sitting in front of your computer eating Cheetos all day and reading message board posts. When you have firsthand knowledge why don't you circle back to me.
