Hospitals make money with people in beds, they don't like it when they are empty..

I know a woman (more than one actually) but she has a cousin that has a sister that is married to a guy whose mother works in a hospital linen supply company and that woman's teenage son told the woman I know that hospital beds in Harris County Tx "are not very full".

So, there ya have it. Harris County Tx hospital beds are occupied by very skinny people.

A local news program I saw in a Southern town had a statement that the area is seeing a resurgence in covid related illness. This was a brief statement airing after a very long one about a young 20ish Kentucky woman now in Colorado who was formerly addicted to meth, got knocked up out of wedlock and was now clean/sober and extolling the White guilt mantra of Kentucky and how she was wrongly told that White and Black people should only date in their race.

Hudini once posted a statement that his home area had exploding covid rates, and the local one that his relative worked at had to devote an entire floor to it as though it was an indication of all hospitals in the area.

When asked if it was actually 1 hospital that might be THE regional hospital that all the others send their covid patients to he acknowledged that it was in fact THE regional covid hospital that others send their patients to.

So his home area was seeing more covid patients at the time, was the corrected statement instead of the sensationalized one. Had I not asked 1 probing question, it would become lore as if credible. He later asserted higher percentage numbers than originally and I called him on that too.

You are so full of poop your eyes are brown.

I simply said my daughter, a nurse, was drafted to work on the covid ward after her hospital converted another floor to covid patients. That was ages ago. As with every state there was a spike in cases as the Delta variant made it's way across the USA. I will ask her how it's going today.

Actually, you said she was there for only ONE DAY and was not assigned to that floor. It was a matter of months ago. I remember it well.

Have a feeling you will be seeing/hearing a LOT about them having to airlift (will probably add *unvaccinated*) patients to different states (but there are still empty beds in other hospitals in the same state).

That's actually a pretty cool site. The hospital near me is at 1/3rd capacity... but there's a lot of "hold my beer" stuff that went on locally this week... so I cannot say. It didn't say anything about COVID?

Cool site, now I know ahead of time if they have room for me! I checked the two nearest to me( each about 20 miles away), both were at 50% or below. 10 out the 20 beds in Delaware Valley and 22 out of 58 at Fox. No one in ICU at either place.
