Has "politically correct" killed the used audio market?

"Seriously wondering how long even the larger hospitals are going to be able to continue to exist at such LOW LEVELS! Your ignorance is astounding. Hospitals routinely operate at 80 to over 100%, especially ICU which are very expensive. Last thing you want is an empty bed in an ICU. Well, a lot of them are empty."

To millercarbon’s credit, he did get a thing right. Not completely, though.

Hospitals are struggling financially and it is not because of empty ICU beds. Those beds are not that empty and are, in fact, quite full in some localities. Hospitals are struggling because the money lifeline, elective surgeries and other procedures, had to be postponed due to, in many places, overwhelming number of COVID-19 patients who take resources, staff, and space in addition to some of the staff getting sick and being out of commission for a while. That is what reimbursement for taking care of COVID-19 patients is hoping to cover.

I just wanted to thank all of you on the side of facts and science for your contributions to this thread. And no that's not you @millercarbon.

You do have to wonder about the intellectual, economic and social drag created by 50 million plus  brainwashed deplorables....

This is what I’ve seen. A world scared by a pandemic called Covid 19 when the fact is we have on going PANDEMICS every year.

We all saw a reduction in deaths by "transmitted disease". A total reduction worldwide.

IF there would NOT have been, mask, social distancing, and social awareness, with RAISED attention towards POOR habits regarding infectious disease, the death toll would be through the roof all over the world. NOT JUST because of Covid, but the flu, SARS, Ebola.

The ones I just mentioned, were and still are DEADLY, but the one that gets left out and is a worldwide pandemic, every year..
MALARIA
Influenza X A LOT of different types
SARS, Covid is SARS
Ebola.

When we react to ANY single disease and treat it as "Very Contagious"
ALL diseases and their infection rate DROP... SO THE whole death rate number drops also.

What we see world wide is a good, result from some serious action taken by the WHOLE world... IF not the rest of the nasty diseases would run amuck... It smartened up the world....I think. :-)

For those that want to treat a deadly disease, any other way than a, "DEADLY DISEASE", Don’t.
Unfortunately, you might get to join that rather small number of fatalities, but fatalities none the less.

The most important part to remember. YOU are responsible for your good health. NO ONE ELSE is.... That is PC in my book..

I’m ABLE to RESPOND, Responsable....

Good health to all, Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas..

Might help if USA checked out how some lower grade medical systems,  like Germany, spend 1/2 as much money and get better results .
The fact that German Doc's make 120-50 thousand Euro's in generalhas nothing to do with it .
