Tillamook is invaded by Portlanders. We get a surge after every tourist surge. Our illegal population is fairly stable.

For the county. It’s parked out behind our small mortuary.

A friend is in a Portland hospital with severe complications from the vaccine. She is getting terrible care due to low numbers of staff.

Dumb question. Is it normal for there to sometimes be a shortage in capacity at hospitals and for trucks that take care of dead bodies? How often does it happen? How unusual is the current situation in this regard?

We of course are left to assume that the situation is completely unprecedented by the media. But should we assume this?

Consider the black-church arson media fueled narrative of the 90s. It was well established in the media that black churches were being burned down by racists in a disturbing upwards trend. After running this narrative for years, it turned out there was no such trend. It was sloppy sensational reporting. It turned out many of the burned churches reported on had white congregations and that there was no particular increase over the norm of black churches burning. And the reasons for the burnings followed the regular pattern of people with mental illness, insurance fraud, or concealment of theft.

So, forgive me for being suspicious and asking questions...because I don't trust the media to do their jobs and ask them first. Rather I expect them to just push a narrative to move their product. They might get something right sometimes, but then so does a broken clock.

Do they know how to treat c-19? Are they doing it wrong?

Other countries and even some doctors here, also, seem to have figured out protocols using effective treatments that help patients recover, often quickly.

Why can’t American hospitals learn how to do that, too?

Have we snooze alarmed our wokeness past its expiration date again?

Or is this just more of their usual fear-based manipulation?

I neglected to add a thought (got distracted):

For those who wonder what clusterf$*k led to that veteran’s death over a gallstone due to delays in transfer to a surgical facility, look no further (read up):

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/relief-healthcare-facilities.html

https://files.asprtracie.hhs.gov/documents/fema-mocc-toolkit.pdf

https://denver.cbslocal.com/2021/08/28/covid-colorado-hospital-capacity-transfer/

https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/covid-in-colorado-capacity-and-staffing-concerns-result-in-re-activation-of-hospital-transfer-center/ar-AANQMyY?ocid=a2hs

Read the following carefully regarding last year’s activation of Tier 1 in Colorado:

https://cha.com/colorado-hospitals-activate-tier-1-of-combined-hospital-transfer-center-to-help-manage-increased-covid-19-patient-hospitalizations/

That vet died due to bureaucratic and administrative ineptitude and I hope his family secures a very good attorney, because this ‘hospital capacity’ BS is manufactured for public consumption and is FAR from what the headlines paint of the real picture.

“The shortage of beds here is not due to surge of patients. It’s mostly due to lack of staff. They’re only using 75% of available beds because of staff ratio. Staff shortage is due to vax mandate. There’s a large ongoing protest outside our hospital by healthcare workers who have been laid off.”

We have a similar situation in the 6 counties north of Gay Frisco in California. No one has been laid off due to protesting vaccination. However, the 6+ hospitals started laying front line workers off about 2 months ago due to a lack of regular patients, who are not being seen by the local doctors in these staff/hospitals.

A week ago a good friend who just turned 80 passed out at a charity event in the mid day sun, (his words as a former Brit!).

There were doctors at the event, and they assisted him and got him setting up. One called for an ambulance. The patient, our friend, is a cancer survivor and is on a couple of potent anti cancer drugs.

He was taken to one of the 6+ hospitals, the nearest one.

There were no ICU beds, they had called the other hospitals and there were no vacant ICU beds for him at any hospital.

Meanwhile, he was in an ER bed being treated. His wife and daughter who couldn’t come into the hospital due to the migrant swarm of Covid patients.

His cancer doc arrived and told the people in charge of the ER that his patient was staying in that ER bed until a bed on the internal medicine ward was open. 24 hours later our friend was transferred to a bed in the medical ward. He was discharged later, in about 36 hours.

When, his wife picked him up, at a side exit and as they were driving home. They passed RN’s and other front line care workers. They were still protesting being laid off a couple of weeks ago on the way out off the hospital.

The best BOL on this thread, and I live in Californicator land.

Mandatory vaccinations for hospital staff work like magic.

It makes employees disappear!

“It’s standard procedure to use refer trailers for dead bodies when there’s a backlog in hospitals or morgues.”

there shouldn’t BE a backlog if family were claiming the bodies of their loved ones for services and burial, so if there’s any truth to this BS article at all, then the bodies being transported are UNCLAIMED, meaning they belong to “homeless” (bums) and/or illegal aliens ..

Not allowed?

“It sounds to me like they are assuming it is the unvaccinated that are dying...would not surprise my one bit if in fact it was the vaccinated who were actually dying.”

Most are not vaccinated.

“The majority of new cases are 39 year olds and younger.”

That has been the big shift in the reporting on the 6 counties north of Gay Frisco.

Deaths are still 60+.

We used to be told the % of Hispanic and white Hispanic patients. That is no longer reported!

There is no drama if you are going to apply common sense all willy nilly.

INTERESTING NUMBERS. The question: are the people with the MRNA shot dying? Really can’t say for sure.

If you go to MSN’s homepage the two featured articles of propaganda are “Anti-Mask” and “Freedom Leaders” dying of Covid.

BS meter is way up lately.

We’re surrounded by fools.

Josephine may be America’s largest pot producing county before Kali went rec

Cave Junction

O Brien

Williams

Now Los Angeles likely is or Carpenteria area near Santa Barbara

Warehouses and greenhouses by the acres respectively..

Josephine is libertarian stoners and Gadsden types and others living in this hobbit landscape of deep woods

I know some hippies in CJ who live primitive and had to shoot a raging black bear that invaded their cabin and came in the door forcibly

Lead hippie had a 45-70 fortunately

Game wardens were cool....

Went Trump twice ...

I think the Ashland Oregon county went Biden ....next door

Oregon is beautiful but weird
