Shutdowns forcing hospitals to cut staff during Wuhan panic
This makes perfect government sense: The shutdowns that our governments have imposed on people and businesses nationwide due to the Wuhan panic has forced hospitals to cut staff and shorten hours.
The article describes the growing collapse of medical services caused by the state-imposed lockdowns in Ohio, Massachusetts, Kentucky, Connecticut, South Carolina, Tennessee, New Jersey, Oregon, Virginia, and Arizona. That’s only ten states, but it is very likely the remaining states are experiencing the same problems, as described in the article:
The Connecticut Children’s Medical Center is furloughing 400 across its health system as a result of surgeries being delayed, which has caused patient volumes to plummet, resulting in millions of dollars of lost revenue, according to the Hartford Courant.
The number of elective cases at Prisma Health in South Carolina has fallen by over 75% in two weeks. CEO Mark O’Halla issued a letter to employees informing them of furloughs, adding that they will be able to file for unemployment and apply for open positions at the hospital.
Two-hundred healthcare workers in Tennessee are being furloughed as a result of “dramatically reduced” hospital visits, which means a loss of revenue, according to the Tennessean.
We need to bankrupt ourselves in order to save us! Thank you government and centralized rule!
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Colorado too. The rural hospitals are forbidden to do elective surgery, which is a mainstay of operating revenue. Stand down and wait for Covad patients, should they come. One might think admissions would be able to defer elective procedures based on cases presented. “Sorry, something has come up.” Because sometimes it does.
This is a direct result of the ham-fisted order from governors, Texas’ Abbott included, to shut down most all other medical procedures well in advance of clinicians having much Wuhan virus cases to handle. The orders should have required such shutdown by medical society area (or similar) and triggered when a first certain percent of hospital admissions were made due to COVID-19
My wife warned me that the movie Idiocracy was prophesy, not comedy.
The same here in Gainesville, Fl where the UF Shands hospital at last count had 300 empty beds.
Hey, are you the real Robert Zimmerman, or just that Bob Dylan guy?:)
