The Oklahoman again peddles panic to perpetuate the pandemic

We are truly dealing with monsters these days. Here is a new piece of flame-fanning published at the Oklahoman, just in time for school reopening: “There’s no way to find a bed”: Oklahoma hospitals are running out of room amid COVID-19 surge

Do these propagandists ever ask the hospital representatives actual questions, or do they just passively take statements? Why don’t they ask how many actual licensed ICU beds they have? Licensed bed totals?

I did just that. I called the OSDH and inquired about total licensed beds at the hospitals mentioned in the article. Here’s what I found:

Mercy OKC: 385 licensed beds

St. Francis Tulsa: 1088(!)

Integris Baptist: 892

SSM Health St. Anthony OKC: 773

These thugs don’t seem to realize that we can also check their numbers against the numbers that they are compelled to report to HHS:

You know what? F these people. This type of reporting is akin to yelling “Fire!” in a crowded theater. They are purposely goosing the hysteria just before schools, in hopes of getting a state of emergency declared. Despicable.
