Florida county asks people to use 911 sparingly as COVID fills hospitals

A Florida county is urging residents to call 911 sparingly as hospitals experience an influx of COVID-19 patients.

Brevard County Fire Chief Mark Schollmeyer said residents should consider other options such as contacting a primary care physician before calling ambulance services, CBS reported.

“Leave emergency room and ambulance trips for those with life-threatening or serious emergencies,” Schollmeyer told the outlet.

Schollmeyer said emergency rooms have been inundated amid the recent surges of coronavirus infections.

“There is a capacity issue at our local hospitals dealing with this new surge in COVID-19,” Schollmeyer told the outlet. “Crowding in the ERs has caused us to hold the wall and wait for our patients to offload before we run the next call.”

Don’t worry - like BLM only Republican states are affected by Delta because everyone else wears double masks and is triple vaxxed - so California and New York are FINE.

Is Broward County red or blue?
Broward County has voted for the Democratic candidate in most of the presidential elections in the past four decades, and has gone Democratic in every election since 1992.

It’s Brevard County, and they went Trump 57% in 2020.

If vulnerable people cannot get early treatment options (supplements, online doctors with good therapies, etc.) to help them successfully recover from COVID-19, they really should consider getting a vaccine.

Unfortunately, the vaccines may briefly weaken your immune response and take weeks to be fully active, plus, they can have their own issues.

But whatever you do, don’t call 911 in that part of Florida, because they won’t help you.

I wonder how many are simply having an anxiety attack (due to fear of a virus with an over 99% survival rate) at the same time they have a cold. I know people in tears due to fear - young people.

I have a buddy who is an ER doc. Tells me there are folks, many many folks, who use the ER as their primary care. They don’t go to Urgent Care, just the ER. They show up with minor issues and he has to treat them. Most don’t pay either...

Saw two karens today driving while masked, alone in the car and windows down.

This country is occupied by fools.

That wouldn’t surprise me.

Maybe they pre-sprayed them with Lysol?

@ post 16 - Sigh. I see that same type of foolishness around here. As well as teenagers walking alone, outside, in the sun and with a mask on.
