My brother is an RN. He transferred hospitals....didn't even get through orientation before having to hit it hard in the covid wing due to having prior experience with covid at the hospital he was coming from......the new one he's at apparently transferred them, or didn't have many during the first wave or some shit.
First things first, they filled their covid/covid ICU ward to capacity this past week. No more beds available. None.
I guess there's been all kinds of dead as a result....morgue filled.....bodies piling up behind the hospital in a makeshift morgue made out of 2×4's and plywood, this cold weather saving their ass and being very advantageous.....all the death a direct result of capacity being reached and people not being able to receive care.....
Disregard the previous paragraph...it's total bullshit I just made up. See how easy that is? If you read that on some other website with three letters of whatever flavor you would've taken it as gospel....every last word. You know what the difference is between me and whatever fukcing equally fake name they put on top of those articles?
I'm honest with my lies and it's not my job to mislead you. I'm just a schmuck like you stuck trying to ride it out in this shithole. Don't think for a second that the news you read is created any differently than the bulllshit I just threw at you trying to make you question what "you know." You can make up whatever you want these days if you're in the media. It's just bullshit they're making up....third hand info some fukc in China writes up as if he's there. When they get caught no one gives a shit because in 24 hours everyone has forgot since it's already old news.
Back to my brother and what happened in reality.....
Once the finite capacity was reached in the covid ward......
....they just made the adjoining part of the hospital also part of the covid ward.
Turns out that finite capacity wasn't that finite. See, before they'd walk through a set of doors from the non-covid ward into the covid ward.....I'm sure after pouring diluted bleach water on their nutsacks and labia and taking whatever other sanitary precautions prior to entering.....before any of you freak out....
So they used to enter this one part of the hospital that was the covid ward, but it got filled, but then they realized, "Hey, that part of the hospital we're walking through prior to reaching the covid ward.....you know....the part of the floor that's non-covid and mainly empty yet exactly the fukcing same as the covid part that's almost full......What if......crazy idea here......What if we moved those handful of patients to another non-covid part of the hospital that's also exactly the same and equally low in volume compared to it's capacity.......and then we could just include all those beds into the covid ward and then we'd have more capacity for treating covid patients since that seems to be our biggest current demand?"
"Wow! GREAT IDEA! Then we won't have to not treat people and have them die like Walz keeps stating we're going to be forced to do!"
"Yeah, great idearah......we literally don't even have to move a single fukcing thing since this is a hospital and all these beds are the same. We'll just run a curtain for the expanded ICU and roll in some ventilators and the other shit that is the only real delineation of what is or isn't an ICU bed!"
I bet other people at other hospitals have figured this out too. I'd even wager someone a Benjamin that if ICU patients jumps to over 3,000 at one time.....there's going to somehow be over 3,000 beds to accommodate for them.
Any of you fukcers freaking out want to take me up on that bet?
Yeah.....that's what I fukcing thought.
The other thing I've learned from my little bro.....who's got a decade under his belt....
....keep in mind my poor little bro doesn't just have me as his older brother, he's got five older brothers, four of them who aren't flaming liberal phaggots who aren't going to allow him to blow smoke up their asses and preach about how he's on the front....get weepy eyed about covid "horror stories" like some fukcing female nurse in need of attention. That shit doesn't fly with us and if it's tried we mock each other until we're taken down a peg.
So when the media was freaking out and all the chick nurses started and have yet to stop about how they're fukcing heroes not wearing a cape.....I'd shoot my brother a text and be like, "WTF?" and he'd text back stuff like....
"It's actually been extremely slow and I'm having to burn through PTO because they're cutting hours."
"No, we have PPE. There's no shortage. We're good right now."
"We've still got PPE but now we're forced to reuse and wash our N95's because by guideline we have to ration something we aren't short on."
Do you want the real scoop on covid patients?
They're either all old......or fat as fukc. Orca fat. Or both. If they're not old.....they're so fukcing fat that they have issues breathing because their lungs can't compress and breathe normally due to how fukcing fat they are and how much weight they have on their chest.
Hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular......these people's bodies are shot...completely fukced.
Medical science hasn't caught up yet to mitigate the new cold for these fat fukcs like it has mitigated all the other shit that without medical science.....would've killed them a long time ago.
Here's a family friend who's in his early 40's in this pic. He can't walk halfway across the ice house to grab a minnow or a beer without sweating profusely and panting like he's dying. He's got his CPAP for his sleep apnea and has type two diabetes.....and we all predicted covid would kill him.
He got it and had minor symptoms. Never made a doctor's visit after testing positive. Said it wasn't as bad as a normal cold.
The people being hospitalized are in worse fukcing shape than he is or they're just complete pussies.
Take a look at him and let that sink in.
The photo is altered....his shirt said, "You can't scare me---I have kids," and I photoshopped the K into an A and sent it out on a group text....everyone kept commenting about his shirt, which he wore again at deer opener, and he never got it.
correction: not edited version but I'm sure you guys can get the hilarity
Also FYI, the dude standing behind him is like 6'7" or 6'8" and 300lbs I'm guessing? Maybe 350lbs??
