We are killing more people because of lockdown than we are saving : Comments

By Graham Young, published 13/7/2020

We’ve taken a radical, unconventional approach as a country. It’s past time to see what worked, what could have worked better, and then communicate to the people.

Oh Joe, so the State Premiers are responsible in Australia but not the Governors in US. Oh well double standards are a norm when suffering TDS.

"NO ICU BEDS AVAILABLE AT 49 FLORIDA HOSPITALS"

Florida has done all the wrong things that Australia's LIBERTARIAN coronavirus "experts" have been suggesting. Florida's Trump pushed "lets restart the economy ASAP" campaign is now reaping the "benefit".
_______________________________________

That "benefit" being Coronavirus cases filling ICU beds - leaving no available beds for the usual diseas and accident caseloads.

CNN, 20th July 2020 reports http://edition.cnn.com/world/live-news/coronavirus-pandemic-07-19-20-intl/h_4568646d74f57c7a13f0215b05bb0054

"There are no ICU beds available at 49 Florida hospitals"

"There are 49 hospitals in Florida with 0% ICU beds available, according to Florida's Agency for Health Care Administration website as of 3 p.m. EST Sunday.

CBS News, 19th July 2020: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/florida-coronavirus-some-icus-have-run-out-of-beds/

"At least 45 hospitals in Florida had no available beds in intensive care units as of Sunday afternoon as the state has emerged as the new epicenter of the U.S. coronavirus pandemic, according to data from the state's Agency for Health Care Administration. Nine of those facilities are located in hard-hit Miami-Dade County and another five are in neighboring Broward County.

Of the 6,252 total ICU beds in [Florida], 5,035 are filled, meaning only about 19% of ICU beds are free statewide. Several of Florida's smaller counties — including Nassau, Okeechobee and Putnam — have no available ICU beds, while a number of larger counties, including Seminole and St. Lucie, have under 5% of their beds available.

The number of new coronavirus cases in Florida topped 10,000 for the fifth day in a row, with 12,523 reported on Sunday. There are nearly 21,000 people hospitalized throughout the state, according to the Florida Department of Health."

Lets loosen Coronavirus measures Florida is going the way Australia-Back-to Work-Libertarians seem to be wishing on Victoria.

with all your blatherings the death rate in Florida is massively lower than that of New York. TDS causes you to ignore mayors who send covid patients to nursing homes while twisting the truth the fit your dishonest narrative. Fauci now deciding face masks are useful. Well I suppose when you are an expert you can keep changing your mind.

Whats your problem runner?!

You claim to be against deaths of the unborn.

Yet you are pushing COVID-Lite, good for business, arguments.

Your arguments would lead to more Pregnant American and Pregnant Australian mothers with COVID dying, before they have their Babies!
