#1 At least in my area, the unsaid fact is that enough nursing staff have walked off the job due to vaccine dictates that entire floors and wards are shut down. You will not read this in the MSM, of course.

#3 One large hospital close to me downsized over the summer, decreasing its bed capacity by 20%. A few months later the local paper mentioned it was having problems with its ER filled to overflowing and EMS having to wait many hours simply to transfer their patients into a hospital gurney. The local paper did not mention the drastic decrease in bed capacity at this particular hospital a few months earlier...

#5 "obstreperous" Good one there. Hard to use at times. Well at our area hospital long waits. Many leave and travel to another hospital 20 miles away in a different state and receive in and out treatment very efficiently. Now we are in flu season the fun has just begun. liberal states vs red states I can see a difference as if orchestrated.

Besides the possible (likely) VAX related issues.

Remember since the Socialcrat Junta took control in Jan. 21, they have welcomed about 2.1 MILLION more Illegals into the USA. Which are also using our ER's and hospitals.

How is that possible?
They are Illegally here and without Health Ins.?

Remember back under the 1990's Hillary☺ Clinton Admin the Democrats passed a Mandatory Emergency Medical Care Law.

So now all ER's have become free doctors offices for Illegals.

#7 You haven’t seen anything yet. As the not a vaccine begins to do its damage, the situation will get dramatically worse.

#8 2.1 million illegals PLUS 55,000 unvetted Afghan Muslims... people for whom marriage to near-relations aka cousins is standard, with child rape is a feature, not a bug(gery)

All thanks to Magoo the demented perv and his Lil' Bolshevik cadres.

Nope, ain't seen nothin yet, fellow Peasants

#9 Huh ... I had the chance to visit the emergency room at Brooke Army Medical Center twice in mid-September, once to bring in my daughter, and several days later for myself. We were both diagnosed with the dread Covid (are fully recovered now, thanks!) and both times, the waiting area was practically empty. We were seen within ten minutes of walking in.

#10 Took my wife to an 'Urgent Care' strip mall clinic for cough and breathing issues. Wanted a Covid test.
Got through the crowd, was told to come back for an appointment in two hours.

#11 ^^^That's what we're seeing around here, too. Pretty much no waiting times (unless, you know, the staff is on break or something) during the week. Weekends are a bit busier.

Thank you, Sgt. Mom.

#13 The only time in my life I didn't have to wait a long time at the ER was after being stabbed in the neck. So it don't sound new to me.

#14 Is this a good source? We on the anti COVID vax side have been predicting this. Heart conditions, blood clots and lung issues are a side effect of the shot. It would be interesting to see the stats on this.

#17 One large hospital close to me downsized over the summer, decreasing its bed capacity by 20%.

Liberals have a hard on for becoming "more efficient" by eliminating "excess capacity."
I noticed this in Minnesota during the COVID shutdown. Even though they were screaming about the number of cases, they were reducing the number of ICU beds statewide. The cutbacks were especially severe in rural (i.e. Republican) areas.

#23 The hospitals in Australia are being overrun. Not from Covid. And no one can explain why.
Alex Berenson 2 hr ago

So said Mark McGowan, the premier of Western Australia - which has almost 3 million people - in an interview with Sky News Australia on Sun., Oct. 31.

Here’s his exact quotation:

Our hospitals are under enormous pressure. This is the same in [the rest of Australia]. This has been something no one has ever seen before, the growth in demand in our hospitals, why it is is hard, hard to know… There is huge numbers of people coming through the door, so we’re doing everything we can to try to manage it.

To be clear, Covid is not causing the hospital crisis in Western Australia. The state has incredibly strict border restrictions, even by Australian standards, and almost no cases.

But - like the rest of Australia - it has very high vaccination rates.

It’s past time to start asking what is going on.

#24 Ah,

being treated include "abdominal pain", "respiratory problems", "blood clots" and "heart conditions".

Vaccine reactions...
