In regards the stories we were told about unavailable beds. For the early part of the pandemic, there were so few people in the hospital they shut down entire wards, put the nurses on leave, and shifted patients to fewer open wards. When they had a child patient that tested 'positive' for covid on PCR, they put them in ICU, per protocol, as most places do not have dedicated pediatric ICU. Then they occasionally ran out of room in the ICU. Overcrowded hospitals at that time were mostly mythological. Close down beds and there are fewer that fill faster.
Absolutely. What we've been left with is storytelling for the ages. Put this in a movie. Put it in a movie if you do movies. People understand theatre. They understand drama. They experience emotion. The whole story needs retelling, and it needs retelling in each and every aspect. It's all a great movie. That's the one thing they gave us: free scripts.
I don't know which is better ~ being apprised of these horrific events or your commentary on them. Either way, I appreciate your updates immensely, and I remain stunned by the relentless tsunami of medical emergencies. We knew all this would be coming, but the stories are shocking, nonetheless.
Ah, thanks! I really do appreciate that. I'm stunned every day. I'm not inured to it, either, especially when the stories hit certain areas I maybe have a soft spot for.
Like the facade of the Dairy Queen.
Ah, there it is. I think my saving grace in doing this is my sense of irony and sense of humor are stronger than my sense of pathos. The three are, however, embroiled in a cruel, bizarre, and absurd struggle to win the moment within many of these stories. It's TROME, alright.
Holy cow, lol. Now that you mention it, I'm kind of waiting for it myself. I've seen things too since the shots rolled out. I'm almost 100% certain everyone has, whether they've recognized it or not.
Ah, yes! That's it ~ Painful irony, wry humor and devastating pathos. I realize now why I can keep reading your reports, unlike those of other Substackers: your wry and insightful commentary helps to keep everything in perspective, and prevents absolute utter overwhelm.
Thank you for all you are doing. Bit by bit each story you share is adding to an invaluable archive of the devastation wrought by the propaganda, mandates and fear of the last 3 years.

I think sites like this actually have helped me. I have encountered at least 4 medical emergencies over the summer. And none of them came as a shock.
I don't like surprises either.
Glad I could help, bro!

"Blood cancer" is "localized"? Will the doublespeak never cease??
as the article said, when the plasma cell lodges in a tissue before it starts proliferating
