There also appears to have been an abrupt change in the way capacity is calculated at Mercy Hospital back in November, with the result of the hospital appearing far more full than it actually was.
This is just shameful, particularly so given stories like this that ran during the height of the “winter surge” hysteria: “We need help”: Mercy Hospital gives inside look at COVID-19 unit as hospitalizations surge
That story ran on November 25th. Do you see a surge in there? I don’t. What I do see is a sudden change in the way that capacity is counted. Staffed inpatient beds dropped by over 200 around the time that this “surge” was supposedly occurring. And we have the local news media behaving in an unbelievably despicable manner, recklessly and dishonestly stoking the hysteria, and scaring the living daylights out of the public. The corporate press is clearly rotten to the core, and completely uninterested in truth.
