The absolute state of New York:
Gov. Kathy Hochul orders elective surgery canceled amid COVID spike, Omicron https://t.co/rvjwEPPRYH pic.twitter.com/D4PykwIdhQ

Again, let me remind you surgeries are either emergency or elective. Elective surgery means it’s scheduled in advance, not that it’s unnecessary.
Having a malignant tumor the size of a marble removed from my kidney was elective because they scheduled it more than 24 hours in advance.
But if you think simply ending elective surgeries is where they will stop, guess again.

Cancer surgeries, heart values, stents and pacemakers, bypasses, joint replacements, all canceled.
Emergency rooms closed.
They will kill a lot of people with these measurements, but as long as they pretend it will reduce COVID deaths, it’s all fine.
Dictators gonna dictate.
Schlicter’s “The Split” was *supposed* to be fiction, not a documentary.
The time is nearing, when the fascists need to be done to, as they are doing to us. HARD and repeatedly.
You forgot, “by someone who knows how.” 😉
Old friend’s sister died from cancer that turned from early stage to inoperable while elective surgeries were put on hold last year.
Not in the US. The insanity is worldwide.
Sickening a$$holes.
By May of 2020 I was thinking that Winnie The Flu responses had flipped the trolley problem switch the wrong way. Nothing has altered my perception that for every Covid death “prevented” five lives were ended or ruined by denied or delayed medical cars, starvation or suicide.
I know eight people dead due to the shutdown.
Bear in mind she’s doing this after forcing hospitals to terminate unvaccinated staff. It’s ok though, she will be destroyed by Gubernatorial candidate AG Leticia James and the rest of the downstate Democrats, who will ultimately be far, far worse for the state.
Cuomo: “I killed thousands of nursing home patents with the stroke of a pen.”
Hochul: “Hold my beer, with a side order of anti-semitism.”
I’ve told our C-section story here before, but just to recap:
It’s medically dangerous for my wife to give birth naturally. Therefore, our kids have all been by Cesarean section. Because the danger of natural birth is known, the C-sections are planned in advance.
IOW, by definition, they are “elective”. Medically necessary, but nevertheless “elective”.
And thus, with our youngest, a pre-scheduled C-section was not allowed; she had to come into the hospital in active labor (with all those inherent and very real risks) so that it would be an emergency C-section.
Because of COVID — and its 99.95% survivability — they put a pregnant mother at a much-higher-than-0.05% chance of dying.
It turned out fine and everyone is healthy, by the Grace of God, but I lost much of my already-limited trust in the hospital/medical system over this.
