More Bad Medical Math - Covid Capacity 98% full!

Hey Everyone!

I was reading some news today, and had to jump in. I am having a good time explaining to everyone I meet why this pandemic has been over, and only the power grab remains. Last time I talked about PCR math, and how the current method has zero statistical power.

The 'DEATH FOR PROFIT' Industry

The medical industry is broken. If you are a doctor or nurse, wake up, because you seem to be a servant of the death for profit industry. One of the reasons people are having a hard time waking up to this scam is that generally we trust doctors and nurses. They are fit to lose that trust.

Health is what we want, but drugs and death is what they are giving us. Oh, and BAD MATH.

The 'Hospital Capacity Myth'

If there are 100 beds, let's reserve 10% of them for Covid treatments. This makes sense, so we can 'get back to work' and use the other 90% of capacity to treat all those 'non-essential' heart surgeries and hip replacements that we were putting off in Spring and early Summer.

One of the important things to note first, is that hospitals are designed to run at 98% capacity. It might even be fair to say that they are designed to run at 103% capacity, because this is how they are run.

Medical management is its own thing, and medical administrators work very hard to pinch every penny for their companies. This includes not leaving expensive infrastructure and machines sitting empty.

Now back to the Covid beds.

While we were thinking about medical administration, some people have come in to be treated in our 'Covid Ward', where, as you may remember, we set aside 10% of our bed capacity. 8 people are receiving treatment for respiratory distress and have also tested positive for SARS-COV-2 with a PCR amplification process.

Generally these people are older and in poor health, with several conditions that are labelled as comorbidities. A number of these die each and every year, as everyone dies, in a large enough population some are going to do it every year.

But back in our COVID ward, another patient has arrived. We are alerted that we are at 90% capacity. (10% of 100 beds). If another arrived we would be at 100% capacity. Is this newsworthy?

What happens when patient 11 arrives?

At 100% capacity, it might be tempting to say that we are full up, and the hospital overrun, but anyone who has actually worked in a hospital, or is any good at brain teasers will know the answer:

We go get another bed.

As easily as we picked 10 beds we now have 11 beds assigned to covid and, this is important, when the first couple patients go home, we will take their beds back.

Hospitals can dynamically assign 5%, 10%, 32.1452% of their beds to treat COVID patients. They do this, and they do this to keep capacity at 98%. This is the job of medical administration.

I hope you enjoy this mathematical tidbit. Please ask anyone involved with your local hospital what percent of space is dedicated to 'COVID capacity'. I suspect it will be less than 10%.

Many thanks to the No Agenda podcast for continuing to supply fantastic high quality information during this trying time.

Keep your spirits up, and remember that these numbers may seem big, but unless they can be contextualized, the governments will use the scariest possible interpretation to justify their power grabs.

If you are essential, the rules don't apply anyway. Be essential.
