So you think we are not currently at higher hospitalizations than is normal for this time of the year? -
Like you, I have a insider or two hospital wise. Here locally, our hospitals are at normal capacity from what I’m told. Yet we (our County) are at condition Red on the ISDH scale, with Positive test % being down.Originally posted by mcarter815 View Post
When I say normal capacity ---- from what I’m told our local hospitals are not currently being overrun with Covid cases. Now back 30 to 60 days ago the capacity was higher. That is per the local news and two people I know working in the hospitals.Last edited by lurker; 12-06-2020, 10:57 PM.Comment

I believe on the National level capacity rates could be slightly higher in some areas of the Country, so yes --- but if you factor in ALL preexisting conditions, as should be transparently done --- it is my opinion the capacity rates are normal for this time of year. From day one on the China virus its been premeditated over hyped, with numbers counted differently by design and choice, and no transparency at all. Again, that’s my personal opinion.Originally posted by mcarter815 View PostComment

Lurker, I don't know what you mean by factoring in all pre-existing conditions.
Looking at hospitalizations at the national level isn't very useful because the spikes in cases are very regional. One state may have overflowing hospitals while a neighboring state is dropping in cases. Small rural hospitals will overflow faster than the city hospitals and typically get less coverage.
Yesterday morning they had a doctor from a rural Scotland County hospital in Northeast Missouri in NPR who was saying they were having to keep patients at their hospital that would normally get sent to a larger tertiary hospital.Comment

I guess the bigger question is .......Is the person that reported it as flu still employed?Originally posted by mcarter815 View PostWhere is the move over flag when you need it?????Comment

I guess that South Carolina death was the first for the state, because North Carolina says they had their first flu death in early October.Comment

Wow......those numbers must be huge by now.
Any idea how many there have been nationwide in 2020? I haven't heard much about flu deaths this year.......like we normally do.
Wonder why that would be?Where is the move over flag when you need it?????Comment

'19-'20 is estimated by the CDC at 22,000 deaths. Whereas the Covid deaths are estimated at over 280,000.Comment

Weren't the whole scare tactics regarding Covid meant to beat Trump over the head and an excuse to not vote for him? Well, the election is over, Trump lost. Why keep up the hoax?Comment
