If they need more space ICU patients are quickly moved into the ED, PACU, Stepdown and Cardiac Care Units.

A local hospital (Shands) said that, if needed, they could turn any floor/wing/room into an ICU.

Fear keeps everyone in line and in control. That's how the government keeps everyone under their thumb. When people start thinking for themselves then they lose that power and what's really happening starts to come to light. It's all a bunch of hooey, sorry not sorry

Most every hospital room has O2 and suction. What they lack is a monitor and negative pressure ventilation.

I don't know about the specs, I just know that that's what the CEO or CMO or something had said when people were freaking out about the ICU running at high capacity.

I knew the hysteria was mostly BS as they are built that way. You don't build a 100 bed hospital if the population can only support 10.

I figured as much. Why the constant need to scare the masses?

Because when people are scared, they operate in 'fight or flight' mode, not in the higher modes of cognition or reason.
I can still remember my high school biology teacher telling us that it's simply impossible for any virus to wipe out mankind. Unfortunately, one of my friends didn't.

To the average person it's nothing. Except hot or cold but the hvac systems in hospitals are nothing short of amazing. The work that goes on behind the scenes in regards to ICRA, and hvac in general

Sorry, one of your friends didn't what? Survive Covid?

The main problem for upscaling was the shortage of specialised nurses. Making rooms with equipment is much easier.

Didn't remember the teacher telling us that a virus couldn't wipe mankind from the face of the planet. He was very scared. Later he got the experimental mRNA therapy. A week after his jab he fell very ill for a week. Sickest he'd ever felt, he said. "I caught Covid!" He told me. Funny; he got the jab and caught Covid. I didn't get the jab and I never caught Covid. Never wore a mask or any of those other rituals that most people practiced.
Real or not, you cannot hide from an airborne virus.

It takes a while for the "jabs" to become effective, to provide protection. They're neither magical nor instantaneous. Usually take a couple weeks to provide protection, I believe.
