Increases in COVID-19 are unrelated to levels of vaccination across 68 countries & 2947 cnties in US
Again, just my opinion and I don't know how many of the above conditions are filling our er rooms if they could get a shot to help prevent it.
I have many friends who are doctors, nurses admins in the medical industry. Here is a little secret. Covid patients aren't filling ER rooms. There is no shortage of beds. Albany Med runs at 92% year round, even before covid. You know what happened when they cleared floors to make room for covid patients spring 2020, they had a lot of empty beds, even after shipping down state people upstate.
And you know how they created those extra floors? By shutting down things like substance abuse floors, etc. Guess what skyrocketed during the lockdowns? You guessed it, substance abuse, mental health and suicide.
People go to the ER for all kinds of things, as they always have, except more now...Why? Because many doctors, including mine, refuse to treat patients who display covid symptoms (upset stomach, diarreah, rash, sneeze, cough, temp, sore throat, runny nose, etc) and they get sent to urgent care and ER)
