Remind me again which hospitals have been overwhelmed?

Well - here's one...

"Detroit hospital workers say people are dying in the ER hallways before help can arrive"

Is there a source for that statement aside from your keyboard?

LOL. I think some folks like to argue for arguments sake. If you really aren't aware that some hospitals are overrun, that refrigerated trucks are being brought in to store bodies, that doctors are having to make decisions about who to save and who to let die, and a host of other issues because of the rapid increase in cases and deaths then you must live under a rock or are prone to fake news sources.

People want to believe what they want to believe in spite of facts. Thank God we have responsible state governments to protects us from them.

Please tell me you read that article. I can see you all missed some key points. (Aside from the point western made about the state of Detroit medical system on a good day.) First RED flag, would be "according to CNN". But dig a tad bit deeper, did you catch the part about 7 nurses staged a sit down strike? The article fails to mention that said nurses were told to get to work or leave the hospital. They chose to leave, which meant the day shift nurses all had to stay for a 24 hour shift. Would you care to place any bets on where CNN got their 5 "health care workers" making the statements from? I just lost all respect for them when they wouldn't get to work and left patients and coworkers in that situation. Yes, they may have valid complaints but sometimes you have to settle some things later. So, no I don't think you can point to this multi-faceted instance of one hospital having major problems as the whole system being overwhelmed.

And yet some like to say I am argumentative and I listen to propaganda. Did you see the story about the local NY station that ran disturbing footage of lifesaving measures with a ventilator in a NY hospital? Oh wait, they pulled some canned footage from a nursing school training video and tried to pawn it off as breaking news. I'm sure you think I am making that up. How about CBS with a breathless report on the dire state of hospitals in NYC and they were using footage from Italy. Please, don't tell me to look for sources. Get out of your bubble of AP, CNN, NPR, BBC, networks, they all play from the same playbook and don't think for a moment it is anything but a playbook.
