Covid Infinity
When society is reorganized to minimize one thing at the expense of all else, it’s Covid infinity (its weight), not Covid zero.
Message to me from a Canadian about his experience needing hospitalization during the pandemic, illustrating that it was not just that people were scared to go — they were explicitly discouraged from going. (See my most recent post for how hospitalizations were way WAY down.)
“Pre-fake-vaxxed, hospitals near me in Canada refused to have their paramedics take you if you didn't have COVID (flu/fever/cold) symptoms. Had to take a taxi instead after the ambulance showed up.
And the hospital receptionist tried to discourage me from being there.
Then after I was put in a room to have some basic tests done, a male nurse popped in and angrily told me that I was stealing a hospital spot since I didn't have COVID.
Once they did tests and found that I had liver failure and that my blood sugar level was in the 60's (this is Canada), they rushed me to the ICU and pumped insulin in me, telling me I almost died.
I told them that the COVID restrictions are why I became 110 lbs overweight and developed what they then told me I acquired as diabetes.
Oh, no one was in the COVID waiting room. Only 3 of us in the general waiting room. Almost no one in the units outside of the ICU (I walked around a couple days later when I started feeling better, which was also why they dispatched me earlier when I asked why the place was so empty), and only 1 other patient in the ICU (obviously a different room for social distancing purposes, lol), with there being about a dozen ICU rooms.”
