I live in Utah!

So let me get this strait AP; NYC and California never had to use the two navy hospital ships at the start if this thing, but now little old Utah has to ration care because of an explosion of cases?

THIS IS HORSE SHIT!

I’m in Utah, and between me and mine there are twenty of us working in the med field here in one capacity of the other. This is a complete lie. There is no “expectation”; there is the same preparation we’ve always had. I can name more than a few folks that are beyond angry at this reporting as they’re scared it’s going to lead to more layoffs and deaths when people — again! — stop seeking medical care out of fear.

Then why don’t they ask for a field hospital instead of doing press releases??

Post of the year. Yes. It is a political virus.

Yes, rather than send patients to other hospitals, or setting up emergency treatment facilities (with the money allotted specifically for this purpose by congress and Trump), we will just let people die. Right.

“In the event that two patients’ conditions are equal, the young get priority over the old, since older patients are more likely to die.”

Dang! Obamacare has arrived. The Death Panels are convening.

Now that you mention it, I noticed today there was a long line around the corner at the urgent care center near me. I drive past this place daily and I’ve never seen anything like it, even throughout the pandemic.

Don’t blame the left for reusing a very successful tactic. The Germans,Soviets and Chiniese were as obedient and scared sh*tless as well.

I thought all hospitals were closed back in March and converted into giant ICU's exclusively for Covid-19 patients.
Millions of respirators and at least two known effective treatments later and they're still not ready?

Get used to this. The “out of control COVID story” will be the only thing in the news until the election

Prescribe the HCQ cocktail and send them home. Don’t give a shit what the CDC says, I tested negative 5 days after starting the HCQ cocktail.

Slo Joe was critical of Trump trying to be an effective leader and calm the nation.

So Joe will pursue the opposite approach...

Who is being hospitalized? Age groups? Ethnic groups? What are the death rates?
