The truth most likely being that a fair portion of the ones not in ICU are sick with other things and tested positive for covid. I talk to all my non ICU patients that are feeling well enough to talk. It seems a fair amount are there for other things and test positive for covid. In some cases they are not symptomatic or have light covid symptoms but are counted in the stats. There is no doubt that this crab makes some folks very sick though.I'm seriously considering drafting a legal document stating I do NOT want to go on a ventilator under any circumstances. They seem to be death traps for anyone who has a respiratory ailment.
Certain elements of the medical profession are killing people for profit (present company excluded of course Avalon)
My daughter the NP tells me her little hospital has briefings every day and she's been told they currently have ~40 covid patients with 10 on ventilators. She believes what they tell her and I'm not going to challenge her on it but I'm not convinced the hospital administration is tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. They need that $50/75 K per covid patient from the government more than they need to uphold that silly oath they took why back when they were actual healers.
