Covid-19 hospitalizations hit a pandemic low in the US, but strain on hospitals persists

(CNN)Fewer people are hospitalized with Covid-19 in the United States now than at any other point in the pandemic, but hospitals and staff continue to feel the strain.

As of Friday, there are 16,138 people in the hospital with Covid-19 -- fewer than there have ever been since the US Department of Health and Human Services first started tracking in July 2020. Just 2% of hospital beds are currently in use for Covid-19 patients. Previously, the lowest point was in late June 2021, just before Delta became the dominant variant in the country. Covid-19 hospitalizations reached a peak in January 2022 amid the Omicron surge, when more than 160,000 people were hospitalized with Covid-19 at one time.

They decided to fire a bunch of people because they did not want to bow down and worship Falsi.

There were 38,000,000 flu cases the winter of 2019-2020.

There were only 1,800 flu cases the winter of 2020-2021.

That’s because hospitals got paid $13,000 for every Fauci/China biological warfare virus diagnosis, and $39,000 for every biological warfare virus patient they slapped on a ventilator to kill them.

Hospitals are rolling in dough from all the money they made on the contract killings. The university hospital in my college town is building multiple new wings.

Hard to believe.

Two years later and the hospitals still haven't made facility and staffing adjustments?

A “pandemic low” would be ZERO.

We’re going in the right direction but we’re not there....yet.

Why haven’t US Hospitals increased capacity in the last two years?

It’s not like they haven’t been standing under a waterfall of Buck$...

There are plenty of beds. There is no staff. Lots of nurses quit over the forced vaccinations. Entire wings of hospitals are empty because they can’t be staffed.

$39,000 for every COVID corpse/kill

I occasionally got pushback on the #.

The medical community is an opportunistic cult.

My DH had an MRI last week and I was allowed in the waiting room, but I had to wear a hospital-provided yellow mask, cloth masks were no longer permitted. Security guard said the masks would be required for a long, long time.

Those yellow masks really don’t let the air in, I had to keep pulling it below my nose so I could breathe. 😀

The time frame on this breathless announcement looks pretty easy. July 2020 was the post virus arrival in the Northeast low through the summer. Winter was the first big smash pre vax.

Then summer 2021 had vaxed people facing very few virus particles, because that seems to be it’s behavior in summer.

Come Delta in late August and Sept, the early vax had worn off and the scythe killed a lot of oldsters. That surge faded but not much because Omicron arrived and vax was even older by then. Lots died.

We’re on decline now, till the next surge. Two years and we still have NOTHING better than two years ago to stop this. 25% more old people died last year than in a typical pre Covid year. This is starting to eat into life expectancy.

WIth the first wave of life insurance execs saying excess deaths are up 40% (or more), the people who have a few functioning brain cells say the obvious explanation is the vaxxxxxxxines are killing thousands and thousands of people.

The first critics of the death shots warned that these untested mRNA vaxxxxxines were potentially dangerous.

The hospitals are crammed because heart attacks are up, strokes are up, blood clots are common... As time goes along, expect the death numbers to do nothing but increase.

But before the vaxxxxxed die, they are going to jam up the medical pathway with their vaxxxxxxed health calamaties.

I just saw a communication from a major hospital in the South East that said pre CoVID operations were resuming and masking would be an individual’s choice in a patient room. Exactly as it has always been. So I think some more forward thinking institutions are heading that way.

A lie — no matter how many times it is told — is still a lie. As you quite nicely demonstrate with your ongoing stupid statements.

“experts say that many hospitals are still burdened by staffing shortages and other patients who are coming in sicker after postponing care during the height of the pandemic”

This is what hospital administration said last summer when we saw patient demand for beds jumped pre-Delta then way above Delta. Still saying it now.

They will never ever admit the real cause: MRNA VACCINES
