That was a point made on Rush yesterday, hospitals are losing money hand over fist, procedures for anything but COVID-19, delivery of babies and emergency services are pretty much shut down.

Revenue is going into the tank, no labs, xrays, elective surgery, followups etc

Seems like the media has done a great job and getting under peoples skin on this. They got most people in America to lecture the msm's narrative to their neighbor then turn him in if he doesn't kowtow and obey.
It's evident in this thread how even conservative members here aren't immune.

I've not saw any signs about reduced capacity around here, but assume that's why they 're counting people and limiting capacity to 5 per 1000 square ft.
It still looks like a tragedy waiting to happen.

The DOJ is finally getting involved in the prohibition of church services and saying they can't do it.. Though it is so far, just a case in Mississippi, maybe Barr and the DOJ will go further in other cases now. If DOJ would smack down a few of these little tyrants, the rest might pause a bit.

The media is controlled by China through all their investments, so they're just doing their job to help their masters.

The data for actual totals lags by several months, this happens every year. It's not a grand conspiracy to count all flu/pneumonia cases & deaths as Corona-19 deaths. You can't directly compare to totals from previous years without taking into account that we are looking at incomplete partial data for this year.

A friend of ours is a nurse at the local hospital and has only worked a couple days a week because of so few patients. Yet, our idiot governor said yesterday that he can't ease restrictions because of an impending shortage of beds.

Same at hospital I'm familiar with. Radiology volume is at 45% of normal, a pretty good indicator of the patient load. ER empty, patient floor empty other than the couple floors with some COVID patients there, staff on 50%-furlough type plan.

Yep. People furloughed and on reduced shifts throughout our healthcare system and we're one of the largest in the region. There is no shortage of beds, PPE, staff, respirators, etc. Yet there's Governor Cooper calling for more restrictions. He's not a leader - he's a pandering, spineless, conniving fuck. Can't wait for the next election to vote his ass out.

My wife had to stay home for 2 weeks (paid) since I tested positive for the Chinese Bat flu. She went back to work yesterday and they said "Business is slow. Take tomorrow off with pay."

There's no reason for this to go on any longer unless you live in NY or one of the other hot spots.

They asked my wife if she felt nervous being back at work. Her reply was "Why should I be? I lived with a man who was infected and I still didn't get sick."

Yep, and the anger is rising. As was noted above, I truly wish people in the non-hotspots would give their local mayors, their governors, and the federal government the middle finger and head back to work, assuming they even have a job at this point. Unfortunately, the utter terror the media has built, and continues to build, in the masses is likely to prevent that from happening. There are a lot of heads in Washington that need to be adorning pikes and lamp posts all around the capital.

Took my son for some errands yesterday. Needed some dog food, milk, bread, gas etc. He's been essentially trapped in the house since this insanity started. He wanted to go, but wanted to "make a mask." I insisted that it wasn't needed.

My wife lost her shit. You'd have thought I was taking him into an ebola hot zone.

I spent the time reassuring him that everything should be normal. That people are going out without masks.
