More BS from someone who doesn't know anything.
In fact, Minnesota's ICU's are at 95% capacity, my friend has had a needed cancer surgery postponed because of it, and news stations and newspapers -- I mean LEGITIMATE ones, not garbage ones that use inaccurate figures and make bogus claims -- are filled with stories like that.
Iowa has a horrendously high COVID rate. Other upper midwest states are sending patients to Minnesota. Minnesota has its own COVID problem too.
nelsonsjavaheads made the bogus claim in an earlier post that COVID was not a big problem in the upper midwest and that hospitals were not full.
That is absolutely untrue on both counts.
It is utterly reprehensible for people to lie about what the conditions are like. I'll give NJH the benefit of the doubt and assume that s/he is just being suckered by dishonest media, not deliberately spreading misinformation.
EDIT: A more recent post by NJH says that "some hospitals are not at full capacity." True. Community hospitals that do not have the resources to handle severely ill patients are NOT at full capacity -- because they send their patients to much larger hospitals, WHICH IS MY EXACT POINT -- Hospitals that CAN handle COVID patients are full and turning away other patients BECAUSE small hospitals can't take care of the COVID patients.
No both-sides garbage -- my point is correct. Hospitals are full with COVID patients.
