‘This Surge Is Different’: Idaho Hospital Converts Classroom Into Covid Ward
Unvaccinated…don’t believe all patients where unvaccinated
Same pic from 2 months ago check it out
I was in the hospital back in March with Pneumonia and Covid. I was in a rather large hospital and there was one hall for covid patients. ONE HALL out of hundreds. Now think with the brain GOD gave you. Is that a shortage of beds due to covid? Nope. Oh and I'm also a "high risk" at 45 with a cystic lung disease. My treatment was a steroid and vitamin C. My treatment for the pneumonia was harsher. But, didn't have to go on a ventilator. Oh, and I'm also not vaccinated and don't plan on it. But, if the vaccine works, and you have been vaccinated, why do you care if I am or not? If the vaccine works. I will also pray for all of you wishing death on other people for a choice they are making for their own bodies. Shame on all of you. And let me tell you, this is not a partisan thing. There are people on both sides of the aisle that have not been vaccinated so you can stop that nonsense. In fact, stop watching the nonsense on TV. You can get better new from your dogs butt than CNN, NBC etc. Combined. So, instead of being ignorant and evil, try asking Jesus into your heart and get rid of the demons residing in your soul.
Of course my state only makes the news because of the stupid people.
sighI feel like I have empathy fatigue at this point. I try to pray for people who are suffering regardless of cause (their foolhardy actions or whatever) because I don't like when anyone is hurting but I don't even know what to say anymore. That alone makes me sad.
I hate clickbait. You guys know better. This is no different than anything else going on with unvaccinated people
Younger and overweighted. Is the variant also created in labs?
You walk into a dark, dark, cluttered room, you can't see anything. A friend your with says, want me to switch the light on for you? Then you say….
Idiocracy II- It's hilarious!
God, perpetuating the lie and propaganda with those f…… masks!
Stupid woman, alone with a mask!
The Covid 19 vaccine is free, hospital stays and funerals cost big bucks.
This really is just accelerated natural selection as covid is now mostly killing off dumbasses.
This pandemic is a fraud.
Idahoens still don’t see a problem. They don’t care because “99%†recover. They are all mad that places keep closing due to the entire staff catching covid.
Our governor won’t close because that would be unpopular. We are on nbc and pbs news hour….. ugggggg!!!!!!
A state full of idiots! Not the only state!
There's nobody there! Lies! All lies! Fear mongers!
So sad! There are so many good people who did get vaccinated ðŸ˜ÂÂ
Yeah the surge is different. All the hospitalizations are people who’ve had the shots.
Unvaccinated, medically eligible adults (over 18) should be last in line for treatment due to their irresponsible behavior, they should not take away health care resources from vaccinated people. Tents should be set up out front for non vaccinated covid patients, vaccinated patients should be able to receive full services in the hospital, not just covid treatment.
To all of those ignorant posters who are somehow trying to blame this on Republicans- this is NOT the fault of the Republicans. This is the fault of people not getting vaccinated! DUH!!
Better to Remain Silent and Be Thought a Fool than to Speak and Remove All Doubt
If not vaccinated, then no help trying to recover. Call on your god tRump to save you.
Idahos "vaccine" numbers went up and so did the rona.
Trump followers finding out the sad way the pandemic is real!
It’s funny they never show the sick patients they just say they’re full of them I think it’s all BS
Over the summer I had a severe reaction to something in my eyes and ended up in ER. The doctor couldn’t figure out was wrong and told me it would go away in a few days then sent me home. About two weeks later a letter came stating that I had COVID-19…..what?!?! I was in extreme pain and blind when I went to the ER but I am 100% sure I did NOT take a COVID test. The only thing I was given was numbing drops for my eyes that lasted 20secs, I never took a COVID test.
This is all theatrics. Anyone lives nearby, please see if there's a flood of people. ?. I'm in NYC and it was bs. These tents and beds is nonsense. The ship Present Trump had in NYC and California were never used. Its all Malarkey!
Notice all the videos of beds but no patients. Camera tricks with some buzz words and 98% of the masses fall for it every time. Wake up before it’s too late folks.
Do the vaccine keep you from getting covid? Absolutely not! Are people dying from covid AFTER getting the vaccine? Absolutely! You people are playing with people life Don't tell me I won't die when we all gone die one day and you don't have to be sick to die, all you got to do, to die is to live
Weird, all the hospitals around me are so empty the nurses have nothing to do but make tick tock videos. Wonder why the highest vaccinated areas have the highest rate of new cases? Weird isn't it?
Its different because most of the "new cases" are already vaccinated people..
Room is Fing empty🤥….. they are so packed they have time to let news crews in. Why not mention they get $50k per covid patient and many of their patients came in for a hurt knee or something not even related to covid🤑
Mother Nature is now taking out the younger unvaccinated and sending them to an early grave.
If it's so busy then shouldnt those beds be full by now?
