'No Space' for Covid Patients? Really??

The CoviDOOM bunch is doing its best to scare the s*** out of you.  Too bad the internet is forever, eh?

Wisconsin’s hospital leaders say their facilities are bottlenecked as the number of COVID-19 patients continues to rise, forcing them to turn down requests for transfers from smaller hospitals of patients who need advanced or specialty care. It's driving some patients to travel hundreds of miles from home to receive hospital care.

As the COVID-19 pandemic approaches the end of its second year, Wisconsin hospitals face numbers of COVID-19 hospitalizations not seen since late 2020, before vaccines were first made available. ...

In November of 2020, there were ~2300 CoviDOOM patients in Wisconsin hospitals, 450+ of whom were in ICU.

At this time, there are 1560 CoviDOOM patients in Wisconsin hospitals (that's THIRTY PERCENT LESS) with 391 in ICU--about THIRTEEN PERCENT LESS than the peak.

Let's talk about "why!"  How about firing nurses and other personnel, thus reducing hospital capacity?

Hmmmmm????
