    Oh! Whew! I was worried for a moment! Thishappened in the UK.

    Perfectly fine to do this here in America. Actually most hospital rooms are empty. Ain’t nobody got money to pay for our broken healthcare system!

      While your sentiment is for sure in the right place, the inverse is the case right now; I don’t know of a region that isn’t floating at crisis levels for bed avaliablity (right now US hospitals are roughly 89% full, well over the predicted threshold for “shit starts collapsing” at 85%). It’s really, really bad out there.

          130%??? Are we talking like the stereotypical image of a collapsing country with patients laying in gurneys in the hallway?

            Yes. This is in a major city in Colorado, we’re not a small hospital nor are we in a rural place. There’s no excuse

          Hey it could be worse, you could be at one of the psych hospitals! Poor fuckers are running at 400%+ capacity on a good day. They’re so overtaxed they’re turfing people from forensic beds, and anyone that isnt a critical emergent case is never getting admitted. It’s so much fun!
