#alaskaicucrisis The devil is always in the detail. There was a news story last night about the crisis in Anchorage, Alaska hospitals. Like many other locations, almost every ICU bed is filled with a Covid-19 patient. Please have a look at Alaska's location on the map. It is isolated and distant from the rest of the United States. If the hospitals run out of ICU beds, they cannot just send patients nearby. It would be problematic to send them to Canada. Washington State is where these patients have to go. (A minimum of 3 hours in the air.) One does not just wrap a patient in a blanket and put them in the coach section of a commercial airliner. A medical evacuation is required. A special plane with medical personnel must be used to transport the very ill patient. As a very experienced international traveler, I buy insurance that would pay in the event of an emergency medical evacuation. The price of a flight like this could easily exceed $100,000 US. We also have to consider the patients who might die while in transit.

You mean 8%, which is the "other location" average. 17% at the peak.

Not that it matters, given this poster only deigns to share his wisdom in the OP and never engages.

We also have to consider the post is more fear mongering. Sure it would be nice to have an ICU bed if needed, but let’s not pretend that the fear mongering and other responses such as lockdowns, masks, social isolation, and unvetted vaxx aren’t injuring and killing people at an alarming rate.

Christ Man! They just kill a few of them with ventilators and they have plenty of room again!

Blame hospital administrators. Boomers are aging. It was known regardless of Covid that more ICU beds would be needed at some point in the future. They didn't add capacity or build new hospitals to keep up with future demands. More boomers would need ICU beds for the flu if that still existed... (eye roll).

The keep geezers alive housing is doing just fine though. My nearest "big" town has two massive senior facilities. Talking 200 or so rooms (regular) between the two in a town of 8k. The neighboring city has two huge facilities within 4 miles of the other two I mention.

Build more hospitals or renovate for the coming onslaught of old people dying. It's just a matter of time. Administrators didn't pay attention to obvious demographics because they're cheap. They knew the built up capacity would go unused or less used after the massive boomer die off over the next 20 years.

Covid isn't and never was the problem. Public and private hospitals didn't do their damn job. That's the real story and part of the reason I have no trust in the medical field outside of trauma.

It’s not the ICU beds that limit the capacity. It’s the number of nurses and doctors available there to treat the patients that outa hard cap on how many ICU patients may be seen. Our Dear Leader Xiden has seen fit to fire every healthcare worker who won’t submit to the CCP virus experimental mRNA injection. This means there are fewer healthcare professionals available to the hospitals to care for ICU patients which limits the capacity of the hospitals.

This is a problem directly caused by Joementia and his corrupt and fascist vaccine mandate. Blame your own side you senile old fuck!

Is the hospital fully staffed, and if not, why not? Are all the people being admitted really suffering from Covid? Are all the people being placed in ICU really in need of ICU? Unfortunately, due the rampant amount of lying surrounding covid, the piss-poor protocols, and shot mandates, the entire article could be one giant farce.

The devil IS in the details, I hope you research them thoroughly.

Perhaps all hospitals are forced to implement mandate "code" immediately.
11   Ceffer   2021 Sep 16, 10:32am  

Why don't they just give people crossing the threshold of hospitals a knock out shot of morphine with a tranquilizer gun, shove them down a chute into the crematorium oven, and fill out their names in a pre-printed Covid report sheet, signed by a drunken MD who never leaves his office, for their Globalist reimbursement. It would get right to the point and avoid a lot of time and resource wasting Covid theater.
12   theoakman   2021 Sep 16, 10:35am  

Perhaps they should start treating people before they even get hospitalized like the same doctors out there. These idiots literally go, go home and come back when it gets worse.

@ohomen171 The dump and run posts are getting annoying. Are you willing to converse with us? Or at least make a post about your intentions of what you post?

I don't mind ideas, thoughts, etc. but you post something and run. It's like you're coming here to tell us your dog farted. What's the story? What's the point? Maybe you like reading the discussion afterwards, but I don't understand the point in pointing something like this out if you're not willing to discuss. Might be a cultural thing, but maybe comment on your own post once in a while.

On one side, I would love to hear more on some of his posts. But on the other side, the Right/Cons/Reps on here have often resorted to personal attacks since they've gotten the majority, and who wants to deal with that? I think if people could be a little more civil about dissenting opinions, we might hear from Ohomen more often.

All this OP does is reveal that Alaska hospitals are very inefficient and slow at executing the fake Covid patients. If they were faster, they wouldn't have these problems and backlogs.

"I think we're going to need a bigger crematorium oven. How close to death do they have to be before you can stuff them in?"

Maybe, but I've learned that most people do have their own opinions, especially if you can get them to relate to real world, practical examples. I have a super liberal friend who was telling me I should get the shot, and I asked him why if I haven't followed any of the advise(I don't social distance, travel when I want, and almost never wore a mask), and never got sick. He said I should do it for others health, so I asked him where do we draw the line on that? If I see some fat ass walking out of McDonald's with a bag of cheeseburgers, am I responsible to walk up to him, and slap the bag out of his hand? My friend agreed that was a good point, and said he hadn't thought about it before.

Never assume.

And it's not like ohomen is reporting directly from Alaska either. Sara Palin could see Russia from her front porch (allegedly), but I doubt ohomen can see Alaska from his porch in Pacifica.

If the hospital administrators had the will to make room and way, they would. They are following NGO guidelines that ensures they will get far more dark money for snuffing out people, and calling it covid. Than they will get for other emergencies and medical conditions. Besides if those other cases die off, it just adds to the numbers they need to help bolster support for legal election thefts. But a worldly man that is known from South Africa to Alaska, surely understands the sophisticated political genocide don't you Jack?
23   mell   2021 Sep 16, 3:22pm  

They laid off many surgeons and anesthesiologists so they can get money for !covid! deaths and don't have to pay those expensive employees anymore, the people not getting life-saving care are dying because of greedy hospital administration and partisan politics, not because of !covid!

I don't know about Idaho but according to the maps there are no shortages anywhere in the US, the same thing has been trying to disseminate via the lamestream media about the bay area and I can attest that it was a flat out lie, there were never any shortages at any given time.

27   Ceffer   2021 Sep 16, 5:08pm  

Fact is, the hospitals collect a bounty on each fake Covid assassination. They even give them (under color of authority) the assassination protocols to follow. Maybe the doctors should start hanging scalps and shrunken heads from their white coats.

Shit, somebody in the ghetto will kill for a thousand bucks. They are still subsiding Covid deaths for over 10K each?

People will die and the beds will be available to the next guys, it’s a cycle that seems to calibrate itself.

As with any government BS, you can look up your county website. You might have to dig. But you should be able to get local info on beds and occupancy data. Local is more important. Nationally a region could be hit hard and yours has all beds available. A reason to never trust national media outlets. They find a story in one location and blow it up for revenue sake.

MSM never anticipated the shift to online. They're still figuring it out. So an entire state being short on ICU beds becomes a story, though likely no one will die that wouldn't have anyway. We're living in weird times.

Yup. Kill 'em with protocols, slap a 'Covid Sticker' on the stiff, collect your $13K. Kill shot with ventilator gets and uptick to $39K. Wonder if hospitals will be doing kickbacks to cappers with their Killing Field profit centers.

So, how one prevents these fucks from putting him on the fucking ventilator? Tattoo "Don't vent me, bro!" on the forehead?

"While HCQ is better known, has fewer side-effects, and costs about $20 a dose for out-patients, Remdesivir is a therapeutic course that costs $2,340/patient that has been proven to cause liver damage. Being intravenous, remdesivir requires expensive hospital care (hospital receives an addl $13k from Medicare.)

There have been many accounts of hospitals placing non covid patients on covid floors...increasing exposure and the hospital's chance of cashing in more. This is why some hospitals refuse to allow family in. It's not a "safety" protocol. They don't want patient advocates like the woman in this video."
