I believe the data in the US would be the same

I believe the data in the US would be the same.

An empty hospital bed, like an empty semi-trailer or empty cab, makes no money.

So hospitals don’t normally sit empty, the size the hospital is intended to match the needs of the community with a little wiggle room in case of emergencies.

You are not going to build a 1,000-bed hospital and have 700 beds just sit chronically empty, that’s throwing money away.

See that big dip in March-April?  That’s when we were told that hospitals were needed for the COVID surge and not to go unless it’s an emergency.

This explains why this year we saw HUGE layoffs in hospitals, which has not recovered.

Because the media says “hospitals are near capacity” without saying “hospitals are always near capacity” means that everyone who doesn’t have COVID or an emergency doesn’t go to the hospital.

My mom needs joint surgery and it’s been postponed since the spring.  She’s in terrible pain but can’t get surgery scheduled because of COVID.

The malfeasance here by the media, medical workers, and hospital administrations that haven’t explained the reality is a crime against humanity.

People are dying of cancer, heart disease, organ failure, and other progressive conditions believing that they can’t get treatment because there is no room in hospitals, but the reality is our hospitals are at or below normal operating capacity because being 85% full is how they break even and 90% full is profit.

 

In this case I’d listen to Anitfa

I saw Miguel’s post on Mayor Ted Wheeler’s response to Antifa’s rioting on New Years.

Here is video from the riots.

The police are retreating.

They are using large volume pepper spray and pepper balls against the crowd and the crowd keeps advancing.

After a year, these rioters are battle-hardened professionals.  They are immune to pepper spray and pepper balls.  They are not phased by it anymore.  Shields, armor, masks, umbrellas, they know how to avoid being brought down by less-lethal munitions.

They are throwing Molotov cocktails and IEDs.  They are bringing lethal mele weapons to the fight.

They are advancing while the police are retreating because they know that the police response is limited by the Leftists in charge of the city.

Mayor Wheeler can say whatever he wants about it being time to get tough, but as long as the police can only use seasoning while having incendiary and explosive devices thrown at them, nothing will turn around.

This is not a police action.  This is a war.  The other side knows it.

There is only one way to stop this.  The police must be authorized to use lethal force.

When the crowd starts to push against the police like a Roman phalanx, the police should shoot through the shields with 62 grain 5.56.

Anything short of that is ineffective.

Since that will never be authorized, the police should listen to Antifa and just quit.

It’s not worth being maimed to killed trying to uselessly defend yourself and a city that elects a Mayor that hamstrings police.

Either shoot Antifa or surrender and walk away.

 

 

Cuomo lays the groundwork for gay concentration camps

I saw Miguel’s last post.

I saw this meme earlier this week in reference to the disgusting attacks on Rep-elect Luke Letlow.

There has been an explosion in STDs this year, for a variety of reasons.

Given that HIV is incurable, has no vaccine, and does cause death, I wonder if Cuomo’s goon squad is going to go around and detain every HIV positive man in Greenwich Village and Chelsea?

If not, they should.  Not that I want to see anyone’s civil liberties violated.  But it would be deliciously ironic that one of the biggest Left leaning demographics in NYC get tossed into concentration camps, not by Pence, but by the Leftist hero Andrew Cuomo.

And the Swastika rises over the New York Assembly.

The New York State Assembly has now a bill in consideration where an empowered local Health-Gestapo Agent can “detain” and “confine” people without the benefit of Due Process or a court order.

AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to the removal of cases, contacts and carriers of communicable diseases who are potentially dangerous to the public health.

Let me trim some of the legalistic tinsel:

Upon determining by clear and convincing evidence that the health of others is or may be endangered by a case, contact or carrier, or suspected case, contact or carrier of a contagious disease… the governor or his or her delegee, including, but not limited to the commissioner or the heads of local health departments, may order the removal and/or detention of such a person or of a group of such persons by issuing a single order.

The way I read it (IANAL warning) is that your local health inspector, the guy that usually goes and check restaurant kitchens to see if there are rat droppings or roached running around, will now have the absolute authority to confine an individual, or a family, or a congregation or any group of people under the excuse that may endanger others because they feel they can give cooties to others.

Such person or group of persons shall be detained in a medical facility or other appropriate facility or premises designated by the governor or his or her delegee…

You call them facilities, I call them detention camps.

A person or group removed or detained by order of the governor or his or her delegee pursuant to subdivision two of this section shall be detained for such period and in such manner as the department may direct in accordance with this section.

They are not only going to detain you without Due Process but they will keep you till they get tired or you die, whichever comes first.

Read the rest of the bill if you want, I am done feeling sick.

You know Governor Cuomo already read this hand has a raging hard on.  But hey, they are doing it for your safety, please meekly accept your confinement.
