NY Post ^ | 12/27/2022 | Mark Moore

China’s hospitals are so overwhelmed after the sudden reversal of the country’s “zero-COVID” policies that many have been forced to turn away ambulances and critically ill patients.

Emergency rooms in smaller cities and towns outside Bejing are teeming with sick patients, slumped on benches and lying on the floor due to a lack of beds.

With intensive care units at capacity, the facilities are not able to admit all of the patients being rushed to them in ambulances.

Bejing-based doctor Howard Bernstein has not seen a situation so dire in the three decades he has been practicing medicine.

“The hospital is just overwhelmed from top to bottom,” Bernstein told Reuters at the end of a “stressful” shift at Beijing United Family Hospital.

Do you think this is part of a plan to get the US to lockdown again?

I learned early not to believe the CCP about anything regarding Covid. This is, IMHO, theatrics for foreign consumption.

The strict lockdowns did not allow them to develop any sort of immunity. When they let up a little bit, they are now facing what we did for a short while, during which time most people’s immune systems started to catch up. Just a theory.

Well Klaus Schwab and his WEF did have a meeting with the Chinese Communist Party a few weeks ago and the WEF has a Davos thing coming up in January but expect the WHO to start the ball rolling

In red states it won't happen, but democrats like Newsome and Whitmer get erections, about imposing new lockdowns.

Actually, they are by the tens of millions coming off lock down

The reports are horrendous. There are video reports of people sitting or lying outside in the cold receiving IV’s on improvised hangers. There are some hospitals where patients are receiving IV’s outside in their cars. Drive in IV service.

The lines to the Fever Clinics are unbelievably long. Blocks and blocks long.

Medicine in the stores is all gone. People are hoarding both food and medicines for the next lock down.

Winter and the calamitous China turmoil have just begun

The “ambulances” are probably the blue execution units. Execute the infected cremate them in mobile crematoriums.

The Chinese people were seriously protesting the governments zero covid policy. The government became quite concerned and removed most of the restrictions to appease them. My guess is that their government then released some more of this shit to teach those pesky disobediant peasants a lesson. Now they will beg their government for the return of the zero covid policys.

Well, studies show that smokers have 50% less chance to get COVID and something like 65% less severe cases if they do get it.

So maybe China should start handing out cigarettes?

Billy Gates was just at Johns-Hopkins doing another pandemic simulation. What do you think? They want you dead.

Are you trying to be an American fake news reporter, or are you being sarcastic?
