So you think the long lines at the hospital were staged, like fucking CGI? This is the type of piss poor "information" that enables Trump supporters to claim the equipment NYC hospitals need is a hoax. The hospital changed how they did things, just because you don't see a huge line outside a hospital doesn't mean they are not overwhelmed.
"The dramatic increase in patients required the staff at Elmhurst to make changes in the way they staffed their employees and in treating patients diagnosed with the virus.
“We had to figure out who of all those patients was really sick and who needed the most intense care [or] who could get a medical screening exam, be given good discharge instructions and told that they could go home fairly rapidly after a thorough evaluation,” Kessler said.
According to Kessler, the issue wasn’t the amount of patients admitted to the hospital but rather their acuity, or severity of their illness. The doctor said that over the past few weeks, Elmhurst saw an increase in those patients who became seriously ill from COVID-19.
“Now, it wasn’t so much that there was a huge volume of patients walking in, there was just a large number of really sick patients. We’ve intubated more patients in two or three days than we would in two or three months,” Kessler said.
To offer an alternative to going inside the hospital for testing, Elmhurst set up an outdoor tent next to the emergency department.
“Some people were just coming to the emergency department because they wanted to get tested. So we were able to give them an option that didn’t require them to come to the emergency department, they had the option, if they chose, to get tested,” said Kessler.
Flagged for spreading disinformation
why do people immediately jump to Trump supporters just because someone questions the media?
So there is just never a line at the hospital at all but on that particular day it stretched out into the street like Space Mountain? Gotcha..
Like the ambulances are all parked behind, no one is milling about, and when the guy walks in the front door nothing is happening, he is told he can't film, and there is no reason to raise at lease a little bit of suspicion?
I guess we are just wired differently.
Flag away dude, i didn't spread any information other than the fact that CBS intentionally put an image that wasn't even the right hospital which they later claimed was a "mistake" but come on now... we all know what is going on there.
