Heck, I Don't Know What to Make of This.

Citizen journalists visit coronavirus hospitals, find no ill patients or crowds awaiting testing

Where are the crowds demanding testing?

[paisley]

Hmmmm.

No doubt the news media sensationalizes any story they broadcast, but taking the above video at face value would be a mistake in my opinion.

You'd have to believe that the entire world's media and governments are in on a hoax, and that Jolly's sister-in-law who just tested positive is in on it too.

Empty waiting rooms? People are told not to go to the ERs, but first consult their doctor. If the doctor recommends hospitalization, the patient isn't going to be sitting in a waiting room.

If I had to guess, I'd say the video is very selective and purposely omitting explanations for the deserted areas. Every night on Tucker Carlson he runs footage of empty streets and parks, bus stations, etc. People aren't there because they're staying home.

Remember it being said that someone was stirring up a panic??? I even heard President
Trump say that. Yes and guess who owns the media? That person is destroying the markets as he
broke the Bank of England.

[Ozarks Tom]

daw, I would imagine President Trump's comment was to calm the nation, and to quell the emotional response to the MSM criticisms of his every action. If anyone is out to cause panic it's them.

As to Soros, I'd guess his influence in communist China is nil. As freely as he can interfere with Western nation's politics and to an extent economies, his ability to capitalize on the situation is limited also by the government entities involved worldwide paying close attention to any unusual disruptions in their economies.

As much as I despise that evil SOB I'd guess he's just wishing he could throw a monkey wrench into our gears beyond the one that's already there.

Tom its a crazy world. We get what we get and dont throw a fit. Only hope shall set us free.

I thought I posted the above link somewhere?

It is the same in Germany, and there it has been admitted and was on the news. the reason it was on the news, because hospitals are losing big bucks, esp. since surgeries have been postponed. Rooms standing empty, personel on leave. ....It sure is true at the VA hospital. My husband was there. Empty.

I guess the number of corona patients have not been in such great numbers as to swamp the facilities.  I can also imagine that they would put them together, rather than spread them kind of thin.  Efficiency.

this is a lulu.

I have seen the guy before, he was snooping around in Venezuela, he traveled with refugees from the Middle east to Germany 5 years ago. Dr Wardorg used to be the head of the State of Schleswig-Holstein 'State Healthdepartment'. Now retired.

the 'Charitee' (spoken Shorete" is the most famous hospital in Germany. Dr Sauerbruch worked there.

Tucker was wondering a couple of days ago, four or five maybe, what happened in China. China allowed about 5 Mill to escape Wuhan, heaven knows where they went./ But.... the virus did not spread anywhere else, in none of the huge chinese cities. Only in Europe and esp. the United States. how come it did not spread like Wildfire in China? China did not shut down the whole country.

[farmrbrown]

If I remember right, China surrounded that whole province as soon as they realized the outbreak started. A few people had traveled to other places by then, but I don't think they let "5 million escape". I'm not sure where Tucker got that from, but the thing that worried me the most (although I thought it was far fetched) how a military style blockade type quarantine was China's immediate reaction. I figured nothing like that would ever be allowed to happen here, in the cradle of liberty.
But as far as explaining why the other countries right next to China didn't get hit hard, I already did in another thread. They immediately stopped foreign travel and quarantined the sick people, not everyone else.
It's pretty simple and very effective. The countries that didn't do that.......well the results speak for themselves.
