Tennessee has had 71,540 REPORTED cases... refer to the last "fact" posted to see that less than 17% of people have been tested, so that more than 83% of the 6.829 million (five million six hundred sixty eight thousand plus) people can't be sure whether or not they have/have had the virus. Survival rate is AT LEAST 98.9%... probably much higher. No reason to believe that 4.8% isn't accurate. The last "fact" practically guarantees that the virus is far less severe than even these numbers represent. Even optimistic numerology is so potentially flawed due to the large percentage of asymptomatic and undetected cases that the whole CV-19 argument is pointless. Those who are enveloped in the fear and uncertainty will not consider anything other than the "sky is falling" prophecy of the fear mongers. On the far right, there are some (few) that are convinced that this is a hoax, which it isn't. Somewhere in the middle is where we will have to learn to live with this from now forward.

Correct! Most all hospitals are right about normal. Keep in mind they are built to be filled at 80% to 100% capacity at all times. Also, the hospitalization rate includes all hospitalizations, not just COVID patients. After everything has been opening, many people are now returning for their delayed surgery or procedures which also spikes the rate some. There are over 18,000 staffed hospital beds in TN. We have just under 1,500 COVID patients in hospitals. That means just 8 percent of patients are COVID. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are Covid numbers from a phone call conducted with Sumner Regional and Hendersonville Hospital. There were 24 hospitalizations in June. Those are facts not hearsay.

I remember when they used to give the hospital report on the local radio and actually tell who the patients were. Dating myself I suppose. Different times.

Quote Williamson Medical Center is suspending all elective surgeries as it deals with a growing number of COVID-19 cases and a "critical staffing situation" stemming from the dramatic rise in infections. Employees of the hospital in Franklin were notified of the decision late Thursday in an email from the hospital's chief medical officer. "Just like the rest of the state and other Nashville area hospitals, we too are nearing capacity," Dr. Andy Russell wrote. Russell told employees that the facility currently has 19 coronavirus patients -- "more than twice as many inpatients now as we did in April during our peak in the Spring, https://www.newschannel5.com/news/newschannel-5-investigates/williamson-medical-center-hospital-suspends-elective-surgeries-as-covid-19-cases-surge 4 hours ago, GWAVE1 said: These are Covid numbers from a phone call conducted with Sumner Regional and Hendersonville Hospital.

Probably a business decision. Smith and Trousdale are smaller communities. Pushing them patients probably keeps them from laying people off like.our hospital recently was. Theres no shortage of hospital beds. Thats 100% fake news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
