Inside the emergency department at Sparrow Hospital in Lansing, Mich., staff members are struggling to care for patients who are showing up much sicker than they’ve ever seen.
…
It’s a stark contrast to where this emergency department — and thousands others — were at the start of the coronavirus pandemic. Except for initial hot spots like New York City, many ERs across the U.S. were often eerily empty in the spring of 2020. Terrified of contracting COVID-19, people who were sick with other things did their best to stay away from hospitals. Visits to emergency departments dropped to half their normal levels, according to the Epic Health Research Network, and didn’t fully rebound until the summer of 2021.
Timeout… the ERs were empty? That’s not what the media said for much of last year and early this year. President Trump sent a medical ship to New York that was never used. Other cities built make shift facilities that weren’t used much either. Now we know why. The reports about the hospitals were not true.
But now, they’re too full. Even in parts of the country where COVID-19 isn’t overwhelming the health system, patients are showing up to the ER sicker than they were before the pandemic, their diseases more advanced and in need of more complicated care.
Months of treatment delays have exacerbated chronic conditions and worsened symptoms. Doctors and nurses say the severity of illness ranges widely and includes abdominal pain, respiratory problems, blood clots, heart conditions and suicide attempts, among others.
…
“We are hearing from members in every part of the country,” says Dr. Lisa Moreno, president of the American Academy of Emergency Medicine (AAEM). “The Midwest, the South, the Northeast, the West … they are seeing this exact same phenomenon.”
Although the number of ER visits returned to pre-coronavirus levels this past summer, admission rates, from the ER to the hospital’s inpatient floors, are still almost 20% higher. That’s according to the most recent analysis by the Epic Health Research Network, which pulls data from more than 120 million patients across the country.
“It’s an early indicator that what’s happening in the ED is that we’re seeing more acute cases than we were pre-pandemic,” says Caleb Cox, a data scientist at Epic.
It’s a long article… the remainder of it focuses on handling the high volume of patients.
Do you know what’s glaringly absent from the article? There is no mention of the word “vaccine”. Yet there is a noticeable difference of non-COVID acute patients since the vaccine has been given to a large body of people. The article says – the summer of 2021.
We need to keep an eye on how many people are having these acute issues since the COVID vaccine has been widely administered.
Sugar kills thousands of times more people than covid and puts them in hospital as well.
Sugar was available pre-pandemic. Not the vaccine... The numbers have increased since the vaccine has been widely administered. That's what first responders at the health care facilities are saying.
Could it be because people have been living in a bubble and not building up their immune system? Or is it only because of long term illnesses left untreated for so long?

Some of those symptoms are eerily similar to adverse effects of the mRNA vaccines.
Coincidence ?

Probably. I’m not convinced the vaccine is as harmful as people claim. I’ve had it and many people I know have had it with some side effects but nothing too bad. If it was due to vaccines then the ERs would have been swamped for a long time.

Everyone does not react the same because everyone is not the same.
We are not clones of each other.
Lack of transparent data is what has us all guessing and speculating.
