Milhouse – I find you so confusing (inconsistent?)
You seem so rational and almost everything you say makes so much sense and is rational. But then you throw in that the hospitals in NY were NOT overwhelmed? And the empty temp hospitals is your proof? I think you misunderstand what overwhelmed means. If a mom has 10 well behaved children, and another has 4 handicapped children does that smaller group mean less work? I don’t know what decision was made about who was admitted where, but when an ICU unit is usually filled with (I’m making up the numbers) 20 patients and 8 are critical, and another floor is set up for stable patients and has a staff used to caring for 40 regular beds it becomes overwhelming and unmanagable to have the ICU unit suddenly filled with 18 out of 20 critical, unstable, crashing and coding, reequiring hands on care simultaneously and back to back, and the usually stable floor fill up suddenly with critical patients but with the same staff and equipment they always have. And it wasn’t just for a week. And there were too many bodies for the morgues. Correct, it wasn’t every or even most hospitals, but it was many. I am not sure why you would believe otherwise.
Global warming-climate change etc may be a hoax, or just a fake, but it is certainly easy to find actual information to support that. This hospital claim you make is surprising.
