Do you believe that the short excerpt from 2 months ago damages Dr Fauci's credibility?

Thankfully I doubt anyone wishing hospitals would push sick people out with rapid discharge to stadiums or to the backseat of their cars with an O2 tank and a nasal cannula to die will get their wish.

I've paid into Medicare since on it became law July 30, 1965. I helped pay for my grandparents and parent's generation's Medicare, and because I'm healthy haven't cost as much in any year since age 65 as my medicare premiums.

I think any hospital that began dumping sick patients to stadiums and cars would be exposed as criminal, like the hospital that dumped an elderly paraplegic man with a colostomy to Skid Row they would be cited and at minimum fined.

Being pro life I have worked many hours over many years to improve staffing in hospitals. I plan to do my part to improve staffing and competence for residents and staff of SNFs, rehab facilities.

There is a big difference between the consensus of intelligent, educated, experienced, career experts in viral Infectious Disease using a evidence to make recommendations and you and what you are posting, which is dangerous drivel. Please don’t kid yourself.

But that would mean the "intelligent, educated, experienced, career experts" would be half-competent at their jobs and be getting rid of this Corona. And they have failed miserably on this front. If all their wisdom and expertise adds up to nothing, then they should at least have the honesty to admit as such. The real dangerous drivel is destroying our entire nation for failed policies because of the haughty and sanctimonious attitudes of a few self-styled experts.

Who said anything about getting sent out to die? When there's a greater than 97% chance of survival, you can recover at home with your O2 tank with you. And those stadiums are explicitly set up for overflow patients - nothing irrational about sending otherwise medically stable transferred to those stadiums for care rather than multispecialty hospitals.

Again, as you’ve been told before, these experts make recommendations to those who have the power to legislate/enact change. The fault lies squarely on those that do have that power.

I don’t think there is really much of anything the government could have done to stop mass rioting, protests, and group disobedience at beaches, etc. There are way more people giving a collective "$#%& it" than there are law enforcement officers to stop them, and at this point efforts at damage mitigation are all that can be done.

That is incorrect on many fronts.

First of all, 8% of those with confirmed COVID die. That’s with having ICU support.

Second, please stop giving dangerous medical advice that has zero support in literature. It’s against the TOS.

Nearly all of the hotspots are in early opening states. There is no correlation with protest states.

Do you think Physicians are keeping patients hospitalized who are well enough to go home?

Because coronavirus doesn’t transmit when you’re tightly packed together, marching, physically exerting, yelling, chanting, etc.... riiiight.

Sure it does. But isolated protests pale in comparison to a fully opened state that bypassed even the WH recommended phasing where wife swaths of people refuse basic infection control.

I know you are smart and can be objective. Look at the data, it’s irrefutable.
